Upgrade Your Home – And Your Life
Wondering why you should choose motorized shades in Scottsdale, AZ? There are a lot of reasons to choose these elegant window treatments. Read on to learn why they’re some of our favorites to install!
How Motorized Shades Increase Safety
Every homeowner wants their home to be as safe as possible. Our homes are where we spend most of our time, along with our families. Motorized shades can eliminate serious safety risks hidden in your home.
For Children And Pets
Regular corded shades and blinds can pose a major safety problem. Cords are a common strangulation risk for both children and pets, and the toggles at the end pose a choking hazard..
On average, nine young children are strangled by corded blinds each year in the U.S. That’s not a huge number, but the last thing you want is for it to happen in your household.
Changing to motorized shades eliminates the need for cords completely, making your home safer.
For The Elderly
While older family members aren’t at particular risk due to corded blinds, it’s important to make life easier for those around us.
Motorized shades reduce the need for reaching and pulling, which can cause problems for anyone who is wheelchair-bound or has poor balance.
By choosing motorized shades, everyone in your home can adjust them with the touch of a button, making life simpler for those who have trouble moving around – and those who want to get the light level just right from the comfort of the couch.
This is part of the reason that motorized shades are a popular upgrade for homeowners who plan to age in place. With our desert-durable window treatments, homeowners can make upgrades that will still be part of their home many years down the line.
Style Points For Motorized Shades
Bland blinds can make your home feel a little dull. Closing your windows shouldn’t feel oppressive – it should show off your style. Our bespoke window treatments are just the thing to make your upgrade more exciting.
Get The Perfect Material
Some homeowners think of motorized shades as boring, white window treatments without any personality. If you’ve been thinking of white hospital shades this whole time, it’s time to set the record straight.
Southwest Blinds & Shutters makes every window treatment to order. Each one is custom-designed for your home, your windows, and your aesthetic.
Whether you want a chic neutral that’ll look great in your minimalist living room or a loud print to bring life into your bedroom, we can create motorized shades that you’ll love looking at almost as much as you love looking out your windows.
Control Your Light Level
Your window treatments are an integral part of your home’s design. Not just because of their color or style, though.
Your home’s window treatments make or break the lighting in your home, which affects every other design choice you make.
Whether you want a calming bedroom, a light and airy dining room, or extra privacy for the bathroom, choosing the right shade allows you to control what your home looks like when they’re closed.
How Remote Control Shades Change Your Daily Life
Transform your life, reduce your bills, and get more sleep with motorized shades. Yes, really. These shades have the potential to really shake up your daily routine.
Luxury & Convenience
Imagine, if you will, reading or relaxing in bed after a long day. After enjoying your rest and leisure, you start to doze off, only to be woken by your neighbor’s headlights – you forgot to close the blinds!
So you drag yourself out of bed, make your way to the window, and fumble around looking for the cord of your blinds. Maybe those headlights help, maybe they make it worse.
Finally, you get the blinds closed and lie down, only to find that plenty of light still colors the walls of your room, because your hardware store blinds are just a tad too small for the window.
If this sounds like a terrible time, know that there’s an easier way. Blackout motorized shades are a popular choice for the greater Phoenix area bedrooms because they allow you to get more restful sleep and get out of bed more easily!
By making it easy to block all light from your room with the touch of a button, you can enjoy natural light for your evening activities and transition right to sleep without getting up.
And motorized shades are even better for the mornings. Starting your day with natural light is proven to be the best way to kick your body into gear each morning. If you find it hard to get out of bed in the morning, motorized shades can solve your problem.
When you’re tempted to hit the snooze button on your alarm, take a moment to hit the button and open your motorized shades, too. With natural light in the room, you’re far more likely to wake up from those “five more minutes” refreshed and ready to go.
Automate Your Day
If you want to make mornings even easier, choosing smart home motorized blinds or shades can make your mornings downright luxurious.
Setting your shades to open every morning just before your alarm goes off can make you feel alert and ready to go the moment you wake up.
For light sleepers, automatic blinds can even replace your morning alarm, gently waking you up each morning with natural light.
And it’s easy to set the blinds to close at the right time, too. This can help you maintain your privacy effortlessly while reminding you to wind down for bed.
In hot climates like ours, many homeowners automate their motorized shades to close during the hottest part of the day, helping them save energy even when they don’t have time to adjust every set of blinds.
Wow! With all of these benefits, why not take the time for a free consultation? Get in touch with Southwest Blinds & Shutters, and we’ll show you our wide array of fabrics for custom motorized shades in Scottsdale, AZ.
