What Are Smart Window Treatments?
Automated window shades are motorized or automated blinds, shades, or shutters that can be controlled via remote, smartphone, or home automation systems like Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit. They offer hands-free convenience, energy efficiency, and an upscale aesthetic that fits seamlessly into modern homes.
With brands like Graber, Norman, Alta Window Fashions, Insolroll, and more, we offer stylish and tech-forward solutions for every window—indoors and out.
Benefits of Smart Window Coverings
- Total Control, Anytime
You can control your window treatments from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet. Whether you’re at work or on vacation, you’ll always have eyes (and control) over your space. - Schedule Your Light
Program your shades to rise with the sun or lower in the evening to maintain privacy. Automating your window treatments helps you wake up more naturally and keeps your home cooler during peak sun hours—no manual adjustments needed. - Energy Efficiency at Its Best
Smart window coverings respond to temperature changes and sunlight. For example, you can program your
motorized blinds to close during the hottest part of the day, reducing your cooling bills in the summer. - Stylish + Seamless
Gone are the days of bulky remotes and tangled cords. Smart window treatments today are sleek, minimalist, and beautifully designed to match any home style—from modern farmhouse to high-rise glam.

Solar Shades
Love natural light but hate glare and UV damage? Solar shades with motorization are perfect for large windows or sliding doors. Bonus: They help maintain views while protecting your interiors.

For homes that need a soft, elegant touch, sheer shades blend the beauty of drapery with the function of blinds. With motorized options, you can fine-tune the amount of light and privacy with precision.

Smart Shades + Smart Homes = Perfect Match
If you’re already using smart home technology, adding motorized window treatments is the next step toward full-home automation. You can:
- Use voice commands to open or close shades.
- Sync with your thermostat for energy-saving automation.
- Control multiple rooms or zones with one app.
- Integrate with sunrise/sunset settings.
Tableaux Decorative Grilles can also be paired with traditional or smart shades for a custom architectural look. These laser-cut panels add texture and character to any smart home design, whether installed over windows, niches, or archways.
Great for Every Room in the House
- Bedrooms – Wake up gently as your shades open with the sunrise.
- Nurseries – Use blackout motorized shades for naptime perfection.
- Kitchens – Raise shades with a tap while your hands are full.
- Media Rooms – Lower solar shades to eliminate glare during movie nights.
- Home Offices – Adjust lighting to reduce screen glare and eye strain.
Style Meets Safety
Smart shades are cordless, making them a safer choice for homes with kids and pets. You don’t need to worry about dangling cords or complicated adjustments—everything is handled with the touch of a button or a scheduled setting.
Go Green with Smart Automation
Concerned about your carbon footprint? Smart window treatments are energy-efficient and reduce the need for artificial heating or cooling. When paired with solar shades or cellular shades, they become a true eco-friendly solution for your home.
