The Art of Managing Natural Light & Privacy

Today’s window coverings can add immense beauty to a home, with many becoming the cornerstone of a home’s design. As essential aesthetic and functional elements, they play a significant role in a room’s ambiance, tying together the many design elements while also providing insulation, privacy, and control over natural light.

By consciously controlling this light, homeowners in Dayton, OH, can significantly reduce energy use while also protecting their home’s interior from harmful UV rays. But for many people, the time it takes to raise and lower their shades throughout the day manually feels like more effort than it’s worth. 

And that’s where motorized shades come in. Here, we’ll explore manual vs. motorized shades and why the latter are growing rapidly in popularity for their contemporary designs, energy-saving features, and integration into the emerging smart home ecosystem.
