Let Your Home Take Control of Your Elegant Window Shades

The rapid advancements in technology have changed our perceptions of what's possible and what's essential. It has brought us to a level of comfort and convenience we never thought we could enjoy in our own homes. As premier smart home integrators serving Los Angeles, CA, you can imagine that we’ve seen the definition of luxury homes and the lifestyle they afford. 

You may be surprised, however, that some of the most lavish homes have yet to embrace the benefits of home automation. One of the systems that are gaining traction as an essential part of a luxury lifestyle is motorized shades. In a few years from now, we have no doubt they will be in almost every home.

Let’s explore the reasons behind this increase in demand and what these systems offer homeowners.

Effortless Control

One day, you’ll wake to shades that rise with the morning sun while you lay sleeping in bed. You'll walk into the great living room and look on as the shades on the east-facing picture windows rise in unison, allowing you to greet another beautiful day. Throughout the day, they raise and lower based on the sun's position. 

They lower to limit the direct sunlight on the south facades that can harm fine art and furniture. Then, before the sun reaches the horizon, the shades on your west-facing windows start to rise, ensuring you never miss another beautiful California sunset. In the evening, your shades lower to provide the ultimate protection and privacy. This is possible through sensors and programming schedules that cause your shades to raise and lower automatically, letting in diffused natural light while limiting direct sunlight.

Custom Fabrics

At Vision and Sound, we partner with industry leaders, ensuring our clients have the cutting-edge automated solutions they deserve. In motorized shades, that brand is Lutron. They offer custom-designed shades that align to any window and add to a home’s aesthetics. 

Lutron’s fabrics are grouped into different categories. Sheer shade designer fabrics offer decorative open weaves that allow diffuse sunlight to fill your home and let you retain the view. Privacy fabrics allow some light in, while blackout fabrics prevent light from passing through. 

Light-colored fabrics reduce heat build-up, while dark-colored fabrics control glare and dual-sided fabrics offer the benefit of both. Lutron provides custom colors and can create shades from many of our customer's own materials. Custom-printed designs can accent your shades and, in addition to your design, include exclusive reproductions of Frank Lloyd Wright leaded-glass windows as well as Toile designs.
