The Power of Natural Light & Motorized Shades
Let Today’s Technology Manage Daylight and Darkness
Natural light has the power to enhance your well-being and increase your energy, creating a happier and more focused state of mind. With those abilities, it’s no wonder that more designers and architects than ever are embracing the power of daylight in a home’s interior.
The problem is that this same life-affirming light also contains detrimental UV rays that can damage as much as they benefit. From fading wooden floors to discoloring photographs and fine artwork, we lower the shades to protect our homes and belongings, and in many instances, they remain there.
Motorized shades change that. These technological marvels adjust throughout the day, creating the ideal level of light while elevating your home’s beauty and the health of those who live there.
We also design exterior shades for covered outdoor areas that can help keep the sun out in the summer and make your outdoor spaces warmer during the cooler months by keeping the wind out and retaining heat.
Let’s discover how to embrace the power of light without constantly adjusting shades or compromising your home’s interior in Camano Island, WA, and the surrounding areas.

Managing Natural Light with Automation
Today’s motorized Shades not only offer one-touch or voice control, enabling you to adjust the level of natural light instantly and from anywhere, but they are also automated, reacting to sunlight. These adjustments maintain the ideal level of diffuse sunlight, bringing in its beauty and benefits while filtering the harsh, damaging rays. In response, on sunny days, your home takes on a subtle glow, textiles and colors reveal their most authentic features, and your house becomes more energy efficient. This form of light harvesting can either keep a room cooler in the summer or warmer in the winter. With natural lighting taking on a leading role, you find it easier to manage the climate and use electrical lights much less. There is also the convenience and safety of having your shades raise and lower themselves for that lived-in look when you're away.
More Than Shades
Of course, some homes’ aesthetics align better with elegant draperies. Other modern and industrial-style homes are enhanced with roller shades with the popular and sophisticated exposed-roll design without a fascia, pocket, or recess.
