Motorized Shades Do More Than Block Glare

Elevate Mood, Design & Energy Efficiency with Automated Solutions

Light moves through a home like a conversation, touching surfaces, filling spaces, and setting the tone for everything that happens inside. Motorized shades bring that conversation into balance, creating living areas that feel tailored, elegant, and consistently comfortable.

Shading affects more than style, playing a key role in how your home feels at different times of day, how your furniture lasts over time, and how hard your HVAC system has to work. 

Luxe AV approaches window treatments as an essential smart home feature that seamlessly blends into the design. Learn more below.

MORE ON SHADING: Manage Natural and Electric Light Effortlessly

Light Control Moves With You

Pre-scheduled wake-up scenes begin before your alarm. Shades rise gradually, letting in soft morning light that sets the tone for a more relaxed start. Throughout the day, window coverings shift to block harsh sun, protect finishes, and reduce the need for constant temperature management.

In the evening, lights and shades work together; some rooms dim while others close off to create privacy and ambiance. These changes occur automatically or can be triggered with a single voice command or a button tap. Light becomes a living element that adapts throughout the day based on your preferences, your routine, and the weather outside.

Material Selections Match Your Style

Fabric selection shapes how a room looks and how it feels. Choose from a curated textile library that features a diverse range of weaves, opacities, and finishes, providing subtle texture and precise light control for every room. Translucent shades soften sunlight without losing the view, while blackout options support restful sleep and full privacy.

Each shade is carefully chosen, from its color and material to its mounting style. All these factors go into how your living spaces come together. Recessed tracks disappear into millwork, dual shades offer layered flexibility, and hardware can match or disappear into architectural details. 

Seasonal Shading for Year-Round Comfort

In cooler months, treatments rise to welcome warmth and natural light, keeping rooms cozy without relying solely on the thermostat. As temperatures shift, shades respond. Summer brings long daylight hours and increased solar heat gain. Lowering shades during peak sun helps reduce cooling demands while maintaining a bright, comfortable interior. 

Intelligent scheduling makes each automated adjustment happen at the right time. Fall sunsets arrive earlier, and winter mornings often need more time to warm up. Your shades stay in sync without needing your input, adapting gently with the rhythm of the seasons and the needs of your family.

Thoughtful Integration With Whole-Home Control

Motorized shades are even more impactful when they operate as part of a larger system. Through Savant automation, your shades seamlessly integrate with lighting, climate, audio, and security features to facilitate effortless transitions throughout the day.

Set an “Entertain” scene, and the shades drop while the lights adjust and the music starts. Trigger an “Away” mode, and all shades close while the lighting turns off and the temperature settings shift. In everyday use, these features reduce steps and increase comfort without sacrificing control.

Luxe AV customizes these settings to reflect your lifestyle, tailoring every detail to your home’s layout, usage patterns, and personal preferences.

Better by Design, Smarter by Nature

Comfort and design are not separate goals; they are intertwined. Motorized shades prove that utility and elegance can coexist—automating privacy, enhancing light quality, and protecting your interior in a single movement.
