Motorized window coverings offer incredible convenience. Gone are cords or tugging on the bottom rail. Instead, you can manage your window coverings from anywhere via a beautiful touchscreen, elegant in-wall keypad, or remote. 

Is the sun making it difficult to see your computer screen? Lower the shades with one touch right from your desk. Did you forget to close the shades when you left the house in a hurry? Pull up the app on your mobile device and lower one or every shade in your home. 

It’s a remarkable world we live in. And it gets even better.

How we illuminate our homes has changed dramatically over the last several years. Gone are the light switches, invented in 1884, and in their place are elegant in-wall custom-engraved keypads and beautiful high-resolution touchscreens.

We no longer light our rooms with soft or bright white lights but with every color in the visible spectrum—millions of shades of precise and pure light at our fingertips. We press the 'Dinner' button, and the lights in the dining area look like candlelight. We touch the ‘Natural Light’ icon, and our lighting reflects the color of the natural world outside, changing as the sun’s light changes.

Working with an expert home lighting consultant can produce the perfect setting for every event and mood while creating a healthier home. Let's look at some of the possibilities for your Seattle, WA, home.

A professional recessed lighting installation company can guide you in choosing the best fixtures and help you incorporate them into the right areas of your home. In this blog, we will explore a few spaces that could greatly benefit from these installations — take a look! 

While some generations may not recall the dark ages of television, there was a time when people had to get up from the couch and walk to their TVs to change the channel. We know it sounds barbaric, but such was the state of technology before the early 1960s. Undoubtedly, there'll come a time when the world looks at manual shades and light switches similarly.

As smart homes continue to advance, there will come a day when most homes will incorporate automation set to respond to your every need and desire with one tap on a beautiful touchscreen or keypad or with no effort on your part. For many, that day has arrived.

Motorized shades offer extreme convenience. With one touch of a button, you can lower or raise every shade in one room or your entire home. They can also be automatically programmed to open and close based on the time of day, the location of the sun, and the temperature in a room. 

These window coverings enhance privacy and security; protect flooring, furniture, and artwork from damaging UV rays; and add beauty and elegance to your home. They can also dramatically reduce energy consumption. 

This last benefit led the federal government to include Hunter Douglas Shades in the federal tax credit supporting the purchase of energy-efficient products. Let’s explore this great opportunity for homeowners in Bellevue, WA.
