Let Window Accents & Flooring's motorized shades take the hustle and bustle out of your day, making enjoying sun, shade, and privacy easier.

Step 1: Finding Your Perfect Window Treatments

Different rooms in your home require different levels of privacy and light filtration. Determining these levels will help you choose the perfect motorized shades for your space. For example, bedrooms tend to need absolute darkness so you can achieve REM sleep. Finding room-darkening or blackout motorized shades can help you get deep rest.

Living rooms, on the other hand, often benefit from shades that allow natural light in while reducing screen glare. Motorized light filtering shades would be the answer in this case. Finally, dining rooms call for effortless elegance. Shutters compatible with motorization options can blend a classic style with modern convenience.

Other factors you may consider when selecting window treatments include:

  • Fabrics: Do you want shades that have opaque or sheer material? Are you looking for something a bit heavier?
  • Features: What do you want to gain from your window coverings? Do you want to reduce outside noise or lose less heat or air conditioning through your windows?
  • Colors: What colors do you want in your space? Are you thinking about a bright, bold color to serve as the space’s focal point or a complementary neutral?

Step 2: Choosing the Right Motorization System
