The mere mention of window treatments may not inspire awe like immersive audio and video upgrades do, but that’s simply because homeowners aren’t aware of what’s possible with motorized blinds and shades.

Automated shades, blinds, and drapes are some of the most flexible, convenient, and comfortable solutions someone can add to their Austin-area home. Want to discover why our team loves incorporating them into luxury homes throughout Central Texas? Keep scrolling to learn more!

1. It’s Always Sunny in ATX

If you’re in Austin, then you know that hot weather is the norm, and with that hot weather comes sunny skies. Imagine being able to manage the light and warmth entering your living spaces with the simple tap of a button. With motorized shades, homeowners can adjust a single shade or the entire home’s shading system in seconds by using a standalone lighting control system or home automation system. 

Choose from gauzy drapes, insulating honeycomb and cellular shades, or tightly woven sustainable roller shade fabrics for any room - there’s no need to pick just one style for the entire house. Select shades and blinds that complement your decor, so your design tastes stand out instead of the technology. 

Sheer shades filter natural sunlight, removing glare and limiting UV ray penetration while maintaining your beautiful skyline view. Opaque and blackout fabrics block ambient light from entering your spaces and are beyond valuable in the bedroom while trying to get a good night’s sleep.

2. Incredible Convenience

Shades do more than help you manage light. They add convenience to your daily routines as well. Of course, homeowners can adjust shades by using their favorite smart device - on-wall keypad, tablet, smartphone, or a voice command. But scheduling your shades to raise and lower according to a preset timer or as an automatic response in tandem with other home solutions is possible. 

In the morning, shades rise automatically as the sun begins to rise. Soft, natural lighting filters through your window to help you wake more naturally than a blaring alarm clock allows. Or press the ‘Relax’ button on a customized on-wall keypad to lower the shades for privacy, dim the lights to the perfect setting, and tune your multi-room audio system to your favorite streaming jazz station to help you wind down after a long day. 

3. Scalable Solution

Start with adding motorized blinds, shades or draperies to your bedrooms, then scale your shading system to bedrooms and living spaces over time. Or choose to automate hard-to-reach window shades and leave manual shades in other areas. Whatever timeline you decide upon, Captivate is here for you every step of the way with luxurious style and fabric selections along with easy-to-use control options.
