At Bazaar Home Decorating, we help homeowners bring comfort, convenience, and style to their spaces with window shade automation! Motorized shades aren’t just about pushing a button. Fortunately, they’re about transforming the way you live in your home. With so many options out there, how do you know which features matter most? Let’s walk through the key things to consider before choosing your automated window coverings.
Installation
Installation is a bigger deal than many people realize. Window shade automation isn’t a quick DIY project you can tackle with a screwdriver on a Saturday afternoon. These shades are precision products designed to last, and proper setup ensures smooth function for years to come.
At Bazaar Home Decorating, we work with Hunter Douglas PowerView Automation, which requires expert installation. Our certified professionals take care of all the tricky details, from wiring to programming, so you don’t have to worry about crooked shades, electrical mishaps, or hard-to-reach windows. With us, you can skip the stress and go straight to enjoying your new shades.
Style matters just as much as function. When comparing brands, always check the quality of both the fabrics and the installation. With motorized shades, even small misalignments can cause uneven rolling or wear and tear. That is why calibration is key.
Smart Home Features
Here’s the fun part: how smart are your shades? With window shade automation, you can do so much more than open and close them with a remote. Hunter Douglas PowerView integrates with your favorite smart home system, giving you the freedom to adjust shades with an app or voice command, create scenes for the perfect lighting throughout the day, and set schedules that save energy by blocking heat or letting in sunshine at the right times.
Imagine one button for your family movie night that dims the lights and lowers your shades, or a morning schedule that automatically brightens your kitchen with natural light. There are so many benefits to them. At Bazaar, we’ll help you set it all up so your shades feel truly smart.
Noise Level
Your home should be your sanctuary, not a place where motors interrupt your peace. Some brands promise quiet operation, but the proof is in the experience.
At our Bazaar Home Decorating showroom, you can see and hear Hunter Douglas shades in action. With their smooth, nearly silent operation, you’ll barely notice them moving. It is one of those small luxuries that make a huge difference.
Battery Life
Convenience is everything, and battery life plays a big role. With daily use, most automated shades will last 1 to 2 years on a standard battery setup. Hunter Douglas also offers rechargeable battery wands and even solar-powered options, which are great for sustainability and easy maintenance.
At Bazaar, we’ll walk you through your power options so you know exactly what to expect. Whether you want a plug-in solution, a rechargeable wand, or a solar add-on, your shades will fit your lifestyle and keep things truly effortless.
