Tip 1: Circumstances will often help you make your choice

The room where you want to install the electric blinds will have a major impact on your final choice. In a bedroom, you will often want to block out the light, while in the living room you will want to hang something that looks good and prevents people from looking in.

What's more, the window, frame and glass in the room are also important. These are the basic conditions that lead you to your choice of electric window coverings. For instance, will they work in combination with a tilt-and-turn window? What size is your window and are the electric window coverings available in this size?

Tip 2: Choose black-out options in rooms with a TV or computer screen

Although we like to bring the light from outdoors into the home, this doesn't always apply to direct sunlight. In some cases, it dazzles or causes reflections to appear on your TV or computer screen. Fortunately, you can also choose electric window coverings that block out unwanted light. Motionblinds has exactly the options you are looking for.

Tip 3: Keep the temperature comfortable

For many people, the goal in summer when the sun is shining is to keep the house cool. This is where electric window blinds once again come into their own. Automatic window blinds help keep out the warm sunlight so that the room doesn't become too warm. Just press the button (or use the app on your smartphone) and the black-out window blinds will help make the indoor temperature much more comfortable.

In winter, the right window coverings will also help keep the temperature comfortable. Closing your window coverings will help to keep the heat inside and keep the cold out, too. This way, your window decoration also help you save energy.

Tip 4: Choose the controls you want

Let's face it: you choose electric window coverings for a reason – there’s an electric motor inside so you don't have to pull on a cord. Instead, you can choose between no less than three ways to operate your window coverings. Pick the option that suits you best!

Remote
A remote control is a convenient way to operate blinds. Set the position you want them to be in and the blinds do what you want.
App
Download the app on your smartphone and operate your blinds with a single click.
Voice
A voice assistant has become indispensable for real smart home fans. You can use voice commands to effortlessly control your Motionblinds.

Tip 5: Integrate them into your smart home

This option will not be for everyone, although most people do know what a smart home is. All devices in your home are automated and work seamlessly together. Our electric window decoration fit in perfectly into this setup. Use the Motionblinds app to easily control the blinds from your smartphone. With a WiFi bridge, you can even open and close your blinds using voice commands. That's truly a smart home!

This smart way of operating window decoration is extremely user-friendly. Simply swipe and you’ll darken or brighten several windows in sync. How about automating your entire interior with predefined scenes, settings or timers? No problem: Motionblinds work with Apple HomeKit, Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Installation is easy, even if you are not technically minded. It's also good to know that Apple users do not need a hub.

Tip 6: Make it your own

Even though this article has offered you all kinds of tips to help you choose your window coverings, your own unique taste will always be a decisive factor. So when it comes to decorating your interior, you should always follow your own feelings first.
