Setting the Aesthetic

Window treatments may seem like something you can decide on later. After all, the planning process of a new construction or complete renovation is already full of enough decisions. However, your window treatments are an important consideration during the planning process - especially when they are motorized. Installing them must take into account wiring, smart control options, and of course, aesthetics and functionality. 

Whether you choose blinds, shades, or curtains, your decision will change a room’s aesthetic. Not to mention you have to select a material and color that match your furniture and color palettes. So while choosing paint swatches and furniture to decorate your home, you should also consider how your window treatments will add to the overall design and your level of smart home control. 

Enjoying Smart Control

Motorized window treatments allow you to open and close your shades with ease. Plus, they can save you money on your energy bill and balance your home's natural and artificial light. 

Once you experience the luxury of motorized shades, you’ll never return to manual shades again. However, if you want to install motorized shades in your new home or renovation, it’s helpful to decide before the walls go up. Some motorized shades need special wiring that can be difficult to install in an already constructed home. It’s best to install your motorized shades when the rest of your home’s wiring is being installed. This leads to a more seamless and integrated installation. 

Most motorized window treatments also integrate with smart home automation platforms like Crestron. If you are adding smart home technology and automation to your new home, then installing motorized window treatments at the same time makes integration easy.
