What Rooms Need Automated Shades?

Different rooms in our homes have unique requirements. Kitchens necessitate stoves, bathrooms require tubs, bedrooms need beds, and windows should have appropriate window treatments to function well and look great in your space. However, apart from these necessities, the design and requirements of a room are entirely dependent on the preferences and needs of your household.

Hunter Douglas window treatments with the PowerView® Automation Pebble® Remote near Bedford, Ohio (OH)

For instance, you might be tired of constantly adjusting your window treatments, or you may be searching for a cordless alternative that is safer for young children or pets. Perhaps you have hard-to-reach windows that are seldom touched since they are difficult to access. Regardless of the reason, you can elevate your home's ambiance by installing automated shades. But which rooms in your home would benefit the most from automated shades? Let our team at Designer Accents at Home assist you with that!

Bedrooms

Picture this: you wake up with the natural sunlight at 6 AM on weekdays. You get up, get dressed for the day, and walk out of your bedroom with the shades already shut. During the weekends, those shades open at 9 AM to wake you up later with the sun. With Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, this scenario, and any custom schedule you desire, is possible. Bedrooms are an excellent place for automated shades because it enhances your nighttime and morning routine. Simply schedule when you want your shades to open, close, or adjust with the PowerView® App and let your windows go to work without you lifting a finger. Squeeze in those few extra minutes of shut-eye with additional hours of black out privacy with room darkening shades drawn closed with PowerView® Automation and open them at the touch of a button from the comfort of your bed with the PowerView® app on your smartphone or tablet!

Media Rooms & Living Rooms

After settling into the couch in your media room or living room, the last thing you want to do is get up to adjust your shades because of the glare from the sun or street lamp. Fortunately, automated shades are here to save the day. With the Pebble® Remote (part of the PowerView® Automation system), you can adjust up to six window treatments at once with just the tap of a button. This is especially helpful with those hard-to-reach windows. Available in a variety of beautiful colors and complete with a wall mount, this is one remote you won’t misplace.

Kitchens

When you are in the middle of cooking or hosting a dinner party, your hands might not be free to access the PowerView® App or the Pebble® Remote. If you would prefer to go hands-free with operating your window treatments, then you will love the voice command feature. Once you connect your PowerView® Automation system to your Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri, you can command your window treatments to operate with the sound of your voice. Simply say, “Okay, Google. Open kitchen shades.” Or, “Alexa? Shut the kitchen shades.” PowerView® Automation will do the rest and you can go back to cooking delicious meals or relaxing with friends.
