The Future of Home Automation: Exploring the Convenience of Motorised Blinds

In the modern world, nearly anything can be motorised to be more efficient and convenient – including your NZ home’s beautiful blinds. Motorised blinds have become a popular feature in sophisticated New Zealand homes for many reasons. These blinds find the perfect balance between style and convenience, and they could be the ideal option for your own home. 

What Are These Blinds?

As the name suggests, these blinds are motorised. They can be controlled with a remote, and they have different, customisable options so that you can personalise them to your heart’s content. Rather than manually adjusting your blinds yourself, you can sit back and use your handy remote control. 

What particular benefits can you expect from motorised blinds?

Enhanced Convenience. The most obvious benefit of these blinds is, of course, supreme convenience. Why get up and alter your blinds manually when you could so easily do so with a remote? This convenience is perfect for any setting. If you’re relaxing in bed, then you can adjust your blinds without disturbing your comfort. If you’re working at home, then you can quickly alter your blinds without breaking your focus from your tasks. 

To make things even more convenient for you, once your new motors are installed, make sure you thoroughly explore your new remote’s settings – including its customisable options. Take some time to think about what your preferences are, and see how you can customise your remote to suit your needs.

Motorisation is also a good choice for hard-to-reach windows. If you have any windows that are a bit out of reach or otherwise a hassle to put up or down, then once your motors are installed, they’ll no longer be a problem.

Enhanced Privacy And Security. Aside from warmth and style, blinds also have a very practical role in your home life – they block out prying eyes and keep you and your family safe and secure in your cosy home. Motorisation makes it very easy to close or open your blinds whenever you like, so closing all of your blinds as you’re leaving the home is easier than ever. 

Try making it a habit to close your blinds when you’d like full privacy in your home, and think about the times when you’d prefer them open and when you’d prefer them closed. For instance, if you know everyone in your home is going to be out, go throughout your home and close all of your blinds – this shouldn’t take too long, especially with your convenient remotes. 

Child And Pet Safety. The straightforward yet very effective design of modern blinds makes them a generally safe and useful addition to any home. However, standard, non-motorised blinds often have cords, which can be a hazard to children and pets. Motorised blinds completely eliminate this risk, as you won’t need to handle the cords. You can tuck your blinds’ cord safely away and control them with your remote, and you can have peace of mind as your children and pets play.

Enhanced Accessibility. If you, or anyone in your family, have mobility issues, then getting up to manually adjust blinds can be a troublesome hassle. Motorisation makes it much easier and less stressful for anyone in your family to alter your blinds as needed. Overall, these blinds are a wonderful choice for any homeowner of any age or capability. 

Increased Property Value. Homes equipped with modern automation features like motorised blinds can be much more attractive to potential home buyers. Prospective buyers are often more willing to look at homes with advanced, convenient features like motorised window treatments. 

Even if you don’t plan on selling your home soon, installing these blinds now can be an investment that helps you down the track. 

Aesthetic Appeal. There’s just something so appealing and sophisticated about blinds that open and close with the click of a button. Motorised blinds have a sleek, contemporary vibe that complements NZ homes. Have a look at your home’s interior design and look through your blinds options to find sets that perfectly go with the rest of your home’s design. 

Whether you choose motorised or traditional blinds or curtains, you’re adding to your home’s design and creating a more welcoming space.
