Window blinds are a very common choice for homeowners looking to get some privacy and block out light. They are sleek, easy to maintain, everyone knows how they work, and they’re durable. All of these make them an excellent choice for the modern home; you won’t hear any arguments from us. But there is something more you can do with them. Here are five reasons why motorized blinds are a must-have, next-level enhancement to homes.

5 Reasons Motorized Blinds Are a Must-Have

Cordless Design Offers Maximum Safety for Children and Pets

Motorized window blinds are cordless, making them one of the safest window treatment options for parents and pet owners. Motorized window blinds give parents peace of mind when it comes to children's safety.

Boosts Your Home's Energy-Efficiency in Two Ways

Motorized window blinds boost your home's energy efficiency in two ways: insulation and light control. Motorized window blinds offer incredible control over your windows. Open the blinds completely to let in as much natural light as possible so you can turn off lamps and fixtures, or use automation to have your blinds open and close throughout the course of the day, maximizing light while blocking out the sun and heat at the brightest, hottest parts of the day.

Motorized Blinds Protect Your Furniture and Decor from the Sun

Direct sun exposure can do a number on the furniture in front of it. It’s not just the UV exposure, either. It’s the intensity it can reach as it reflects through the glass of the window. With motorized blinds, you can protect your furniture from the sun's harshest rays at the most critical times, using a touch of a button or programming timers to keep your blinds closed while you’re away.

You can take these to the next level by using systems like Somfy or Lutron to automate the opening and closing of your blinds to match the level of light or head coming through the window.

Automation Settings Adds Security When You Are Away from Home

Speaking of automation and security, motorized window blinds offer a far more beneficial approach than just keeping your curtains closed.

Motorized window blinds can operate automatically throughout the day using either automated timers or app controls. This will make it seem like someone is home, even if you are thousands of miles away.

Push Button Control Lets You Operate Blinds Without Touching Them

When you are on the couch watching a movie or reading a book, the last thing you want to do is get up to adjust your blinds. Motorized window blinds can be set to close when the sun causes glare on your TV or with the touch of a button, so you can just relax.

Motorized blinds are also ideal for placement windows where direct access to them is awkward, such as behind a couch or a small window high up the wall.

Motorized window blinds combine beauty, safety, and functionality in one convenient package, all to truly level up your home. When you are ready to level up your home's interior with motorized window blinds, get in touch with Budget Blinds to schedule a free in-home consultation.
