Smart home technology is becoming more popular than ever, and motorized window treatments are quickly turning into a must-have feature for homeowners who want both style and convenience. Made in the Shade St. Louis, a trusted name in custom window treatments, shares some key things to consider if you’re thinking about making the switch:
Will it fit your lifestyle?
Think about how often you’re home and which rooms would benefit most. If you love entertaining or spend a lot of time at home, motorized shades can be a game-changer throughout your entire house. If you’re always on the go, starting with high-traffic areas like the bedroom or kitchen makes sense.
Do you have kids or pets?
Cords can be a safety hazard for little ones and furry friends. Motorized shades remove that worry while giving you the ability to control everything from an app—so your window treatments adjust to your schedule without you having to lift a finger.
Are you worried about protecting your furniture and décor?
Sunlight can cause furniture, rugs, and artwork to fade over time. With motorized shades, you can schedule them to close during peak sunlight hours and open when you want more natural light—helping you preserve the look of your home.
Tired of dealing with tangled cords or hard-to-reach windows?
Motorized shades eliminate those daily headaches. Plus, they can help cut down on energy costs by improving insulation and letting in just the right amount of natural light throughout the day.
What’s New in Motorized Shades for 2025?
Motorized shades just got even better. Made in the Shade St. Louis is rolling out new features that make these window treatments easier to use than ever. With Zigbee technology powered by Somfy, they seamlessly integrate into smart home systems, so you can control them with an app, voice commands, or automated schedules.
Here’s what’s new:
- Simple Setup with Bluetooth Pairing – Scan a QR code to connect your shades in minutes—no complicated installation required.
- Voice Control Compatibility – Works with Apple Home, Alexa, and Google Assistant, so you can adjust your shades hands-free.
