As interior design trends shift to a minimal and modern look, homeowners are looking for a window solution to complement their conservative, yet chic interior. Roller shades are perfect for the modern home for quite a few reasons; they save energy, are convenient, require simple maintenance and create flexibility in design.
Save Energy
One of the easiest and most effective ways to save energy in your home is using roller shades. Motorized roller shades are a plus because they offer homeowners the option to quickly raise or lower their shades to let in the desired amount of sunlight. Shades block out the sun’s UV rays that can be damaging and wear on your furniture, art, and wood surfaces over time. Not only are shades energy efficient for your home, but even more so for you when it’s motorized.
Convenience
Although manual shades are awesome, motorized shades with integration capabilities are brilliant. When connected to your phone, you can control the temperature of your home and the amount of sunlight that is let in while you’re home or away. You can also set a scheduled time for the roller shades to ascend or descend.
Simple Maintenance
Roller shades are convenient in more than one way. Routine upkeep of any product you own is required for an elongated life. They don’t sit stagnantly and collect dust as blinds or curtains would. You don’t have to take them down and put them in the washing machine for a thorough cleaning either. The design of the shades makes them easy to clean and they are less likely to need repairs as they are protected inside a cassette or fascia.
Flexible in Design
Roller shades allow you to keep the distraction from the design of your home to a minimum. Unlike curtains or blinds, the homeowner can raise the shades until they are completely out of sight. This accentuates a clean and uncluttered visual in the home. Roller shades are the easiest way to create a simple, attractive appearance.
