Smart homes are becoming increasingly normal, and window coverings are joining the trend.
Electric and motorised blinds can be operated at the touch of a button, making them particularly useful for large windows, hard-to-reach windows and rooms where several blinds need to be adjusted together.
But convenience isn’t the only reason people are considering them.
Automated blinds can make it easier to manage daylight and privacy throughout the day. In larger glazed rooms, they can also be used as part of a wider approach to controlling sunlight and indoor comfort.
For some homes, a simple manual blind remains the perfect choice. For others, especially where there are multiple windows or difficult-to-reach openings, motorisation can make everyday life considerably easier.
The best smart-home technology is the technology you actually find useful — and sometimes that means simply pressing a button to close the blinds.
