Of course, it all starts with your needs and requirements, but we imagine you are curious about the styles available for automated window blinds. Discover three styles below. 

If you would like to learn more about the styles available with Motionblinds automated roller blinds, or have any other questions you would like answered, our experts will be happy to help. Contact us for more information! 

  

Style 1: The right product   

We hardly need to explain the difference between Venetian blinds (made of wood or other materials) and vertical blinds. This is a very important factor in terms of style, as it defines the basic design of what will hang in front of your window. That is why we are starting this article with the type of blind. 

Besides horizontal or vertical elements, you can also choose from other style options. These include, for example, fabric roller blinds and pleated blinds, which combine features of Venetian blinds and fabric shades. 

So whether you prefer to create horizontal or vertical lines in your interior, anything is possible! A modern interior is particularly well suited to these options, while automated pleated blinds or day and night roller blinds are alternatives worth considering.  

Style 2: The right fabric  

If you are looking for automated roller blinds that perfectly match your style, you need to pay special attention to the fabric as well as the type of product. If you prefer a particular material, colour combination or pattern that is perfect for your interior, you have a huge range of options to choose from. 

You will often notice that roller blinds and pleated blinds use translucent fabrics so that the room is not completely dark. However, you can choose the fabric to suit your taste. The possibilities are endless! 

Style 3: Blackout blinds 

The sun provides light and warmth. However, a room can also have too much light and heat. Examples include sunlight shining on a screen or temperatures rising sharply in summer. To address these issues, we also offer blackout blinds. 

Blackout blinds naturally feature durable fabrics that block the sun's rays. Light colours are also an option, provided they let little or no light through.  

  

Every style can be controlled in different ways 

Although we are talking about automated window blinds, you can still operate them manually if you wish. Nevertheless, the most common way to control them is with a remote control or a smartphone app. You can choose from four control methods: 

  •  Pull 
    Give the chain, cord or wand a short pull to move the blinds automatically. It is incredibly simple and suitable for everyone! 
  •  Remote control
    A remote control is a convenient way to operate your blinds. Simply select the position you want your blinds to move to, and they will move there. 
  •  App
    Download the app to your smartphone and control your blinds with a single tap. 
     
  •  Voice
    A voice assistant has become indispensable for true smart home enthusiasts. With voice commands, you can effortlessly control your Motionblinds window blinds. 

  

Want a complete smart home? 

Once you have found your perfect style and experienced the benefits of automated blinds, you can take things a step further. With the Motionblinds app, you can easily control your blinds from your smartphone. A Wi-Fi bridge also allows you to open and close your roller blinds or Venetian blinds using voice commands. A smart home that lets you easily program and automate your blinds is now a reality! 

It is amazing how easy to use and user-friendly your roller blinds will become. Control multiple blinds at once with a swipe and automate your entire interior with preset scenes, modes and timers. Whether you use Apple HomeKit, Google Home or Amazon Alexa, Motionblinds works seamlessly with all these systems. It is simple, even if you are not tech-savvy. Apple users do not need a hub.
