Unlike traditional blinds that are connected to a string, motorized window shades have a tube that is installed up top. They come with a motor that eliminates all the heavy lifting as they are devoid of cords and do not pose a choking hazard to pets and kids. Before leaving for the holiday, you can program your motorized shades to automatically raise and lower to make it look like someone’s home.

If you’re a Sonoma homeowner looking to beautify your home while keeping up with the latest home automation trends, continue adding motorized shades to these rooms!

Bedrooms

There are many benefits to a good night’s sleep. When we sleep, our body repairs damaged muscles, cells, and tissues. On the other hand, sleep deprivation can lead to chronic health problems such as type-2 diabetes and heart disease.

For many people, their bedroom is a sanctuary where they relax and unwind after a hectic day. The bedroom environment can affect sleep quality, so your bedroom should be a relaxing space. Darkness tells the body that it's time to rest and helps keep our circadian rhythm aligned. Motorized shades in a dark bedroom can make it go pitch-black by automatically lowering with the press of a button, or according to your schedule.

Automated shades can also help you get your day off to a good start. To get your daily dose of sunshine, program your shades to automatically rise when the sun comes up. Studies show that exposure to natural light in the morning improves productivity and alertness. Natural light also boosts your energy levels, allowing you to function at your best throughout the day.

The Home Office

Motorized shades can create a conducive work environment when installed in a home office. When you hit an afternoon slump, raise your shades with a few taps on your phone or handheld remote. As natural light enters your space, you feel energetic and rejuvenated. In addition to boosting your energy levels, natural light can improve your mood and focus.

The Living Room

Many skin cancers are a result of overexposure to UV rays. If your living room faces the sun, it receives direct sunlight. Motorized shades in your living room can help prevent overexposure to the sun. In addition, as temperatures increase, you can schedule your shades to lower automatically, helping keep your living room cool during the hottest times of the day. Keeping your shades closed during the day is also one of the most effective ways to protect the furniture and flooring from sun damage too!

In the evening, motorized shades in your living room can help transform it into a multipurpose media room where you can watch movies or TV shows with your loved ones. You can lower your shades at the touch of a button to reduce glare and ambient noise that can ruin your movie-watching experience.
