You may think that window blinds haven't changed in decades, but motorized blinds have completely transformed the way you let in or block light. Should you upgrade to motorized blinds? In this article, we will cover a few reasons to invest in them.

1. Aesthetics

Window coverings without cords are cleaner and neater looking. There's also less distraction from the color, style, and text that you've selected. If you're tired of unsightly cords always hanging around, it's time to upgrade. The wide range of options that are available means that there's sure to be one that's perfect for every room in your house. Motorized blinds are the perfect marriage of form and function.

2. Convenience

If you've ever been sitting in your favorite chair curled up reading a book, the last thing you want to do is get up to adjust the shades. Motorized shades really are one of the most convenient improvements ever invented. No more having to reach behind furniture searching for the right cord to adjust your drapes or shades, simply press a button and adjust your window coverings accordingly. You can even set your blinds to open and close on a schedule.

3. Privacy

We all love to feel safe and secure in our homes. Proper window coverings allow us to enjoy being at home without having to worry about nosy neighbors or curious passersby. Utilizing the timer method on your shades allows you to ensure your privacy and can even make it look like you're still at home when you're really on vacation. It's an easy way to maintain your privacy and feel right at home.

4. Safety

Window blinds may not seem dangerous, but according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, window coverings with cords, like drapes, shades, and blinds are responsible for nine yearly strangulation deaths of children aged five and younger. If you have children or pets, you can avoid injury by using motorized blinds. Since they don't use a traditional cord, you can add shade to your home and keep your family safe.
