"About 30% of a home's heating energy is lost through windows. In cooling seasons, about 76% of sunlight that falls on standard double-pane windows enters to become heat. Window coverings can help with this loss of energy by providing comfort, regulating temperatures, and lowering energy bills."
Balanced Lighting
Manage daylight and glare effortlessly with light-filtering fabrics and responsive automation.
Privacy on Demand
Automate blinds to lower at dusk or activate them anytime you want a more secluded, intimate space.
Reduce Heat Gain
On hot days, your shades act as a barrier, reducing heat buildup and easing the load on your HVAC.
Reduce Heat Loss
Insulated fabrics like honeycomb shades help retain warmth when temperatures drop.
Sound Insulation

UV Protection
Preserve your furniture, flooring, and artwork with scheduled or sensor-triggered shade movement that limits UV exposure.
1. Define Your Priorities
- Privacy: Bedrooms and bathrooms may call for blackout or fully opaque fabrics, while living spaces might benefit from light-filtering materials that maintain views without sacrificing discretion.
- Light Management: Do you prefer complete darkness or a soft glow in the morning? Your preferences shape fabric choices and opacity levels.
- Energy Savings: Honeycomb shades add insulation, helping rooms stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, an ideal choice for when you want comfort and efficiency to go hand in hand.
- Child and Pet Safety: Cordless, motorized solutions eliminate safety hazards, offering peace of mind in family-friendly homes.
2. Match Your Shades to Each Room
- Living Rooms: Use sheer drapes or light-filtering materials to soften natural light and enhance the ambiance.
- Bedrooms: Opt for blackout or layered options to improve rest and offer total privacy.
- Kitchens: Opt for practical, low-maintenance options like faux wood or Roman shades, ideal for spaces that see daily use and exposure to moisture.
- Bathrooms: Moisture-resistant materials, such as vinyl or faux wood blinds maintain their finish in humid conditions while delivering a clean, tailored look.
3. Align with Your Design Aesthetic
- Modern & Contemporary: Clean-lined roller shades or panel track systems with sleek fabric selections and minimalist finishes are best for modern, stylish homes.
- Traditional: Elegant Roman shades, layered drapery, and rich textures in velvet or silk are perfect for more classic aesthetics.
- Rustic or Farmhouse: Bamboo or woven wood shades, paired with natural textures that bring warmth and coziness without compromising tech integration.
- Eclectic: Vibrant prints, bold layering, and mixed materials add interest while maintaining visual balance.
- Industrial: Complement exposed architectural elements with streamlined roller shades or metal-finished blinds.
4. Think Long-Term: Materials & Maintenance
- Moisture Resistance: In kitchens and baths, opt for vinyl, aluminum, or faux wood materials that resist moisture and hold up over time.
- UV Protection: Prevent fading in spaces with direct light with solar shades or scheduled movement that activates as sunlight reaches your windows.
- Insulation: Add a thermal layer with cellular designs or drapery, keeping rooms temperate throughout the year.
- Low-Maintenance Options: Some materials, such as synthetics, are as easy to care for as they are beautiful, while others may need periodic professional cleaning.
- Safe and Built to Last: Ditch dangling cords in favor of motorized designs that are safer and built for everyday living. Whether you're designing a primary residence or outfitting a beach home, our motorized blinds in Bethany Beach are crafted for durability and elegance.
