While this has certainly been a winter to remember in Scottsdale, AZ, spring is around the corner. Soon the poppies and lupines will remind us that this is our best season to enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends. Are you ready to make this a season to remember?

One of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors is by creating outdoor living spaces. For some, these areas furnish entertainment, with outdoor 4K UHD TVs and surround sound. For others, they offer a quiet place of contemplation and the space to enjoy al fresco dining with friends and family. 

Whatever your preference in outdoor living, outdoor patio shades can help you make the most of it, creating an oasis you enjoy all year round. Let’s explore the possibilities.

There’s something almost awe-inspiring watching shades that automatically open to let in the sun's first light. Whether it’s greeting a new day, the sunlight that helps create our “happy” hormone known as serotonin, or the simple beauty of an automated home, it can be truly breathtaking.

Motorized window shades, however, offer much more than beauty and an incredible way to start the day. They help protect your home from the scorching Scottdale, AZ, sun, provide privacy, and enhance the use of daylight in your home’s design. 

Let’s explore their many benefits and features and why this is one of our clients’ favorite smart home components.

For this reason, if you are considering adding smart technology to your spaces, we highly recommend reaching out to a professional home automation company like Wipliance.
