3 automated roller blind styles: which one will you choose?

Everyone has their own style, and that also applies when it comes to automated roller blinds. The only questions are: which styles are available, and which ones suit your tastes? Whether you have a modern or classic interior, you can use Motionblinds in a number of ways. It all starts with your needs and requirements, of course, but we can imagine you are curious about which styles are available for automated window coverings. Below you can find three styles to discover. 

If you are keen to find out more about the styles on offer with Motionblinds automated roller blinds or have any other questions you would like answered, our experts are more than happy to help. Contact us to find out more! 

Style 1: The right product   

We don't really need to explain the difference between Venetian blinds (made of wood or other materials) and vertical slats. This is a huge factor when it comes to style, as it concerns the basic design of what you will have hanging in front of your window. And that's why we're beginning this article with the shape of the blinds. 

Along with horizontal or vertical elements, you have also got other style options to choose from. These include fabric roller blinds, for example, and pleated blinds, which are a combination of Venetian blinds and textile blinds. 

So if you prefer to create horizontal or vertical lines in your interior, anything's possible! In fact, a modern interior lends itself very well to these options, with automated pleated blinds or dual roller blinds worthwhile alternatives.  

Style 2: The right fabric  

If you are looking for automated roller blinds that are a perfect match for your style, you need to pay close attention to the fabric as well as the product type. If you prefer a certain material, a combination of colors or a pattern that is perfect for your interior, you have a whole host of choices in this area. 

You will often find that roller and pleated blinds use semi-transparent fabrics so the room is not completely dark. However, you can adapt the fabric according to your tastes. The possibilities are endless! 

Style 3: Blackout blinds 

The sun provides light and warmth. There is such a thing as too much light and warmth in a room, though. Examples include the sun shining on a monitor or the temperatures rising sharply in the summer. To combat these issues, we also offer blackout blinds. 

Blackout blinds naturally feature sturdy fabrics that don't let the sun in. Light colours are also possible, as long as they allow little (or no) light through.  

Each style can be operated in different ways 

Although we are talking about automated window coverings, they can still be operated manually if you wish. That said, a remote control or an app on your smartphone is the most common method. You have four operating methods to choose from: 

•  Pull 
  Briefly pull the chain, cord or rod to automatically operate the blinds. It is super easy and suitable for everyone! 
  
•  Remote
  A remote control is a convenient way to operate blinds. Simply indicate where you want to position your blinds, and they go there. 
  
•  App
  Download the app to your smartphone and operate your blinds with one click. 
   
•  Voice
  A voice assistant has become indispensable for real smart home fans. You can use voice commands to effortlessly control your Motionblinds.
