Your home should work for you—quietly, beautifully, and effortlessly. That’s why more homeowners across Southwest Colorado are turning to motorized window shades. These aren’t just a smart tech upgrade; they’re a lifestyle improvement. Whether you’re relaxing in the living room, cooking in the kitchen, or trying to get the kids down for a nap, motorized shades add comfort, energy efficiency, and a custom feel to every space.
If you’ve read our related article, you already know how smart shades integrate into modern homes. Now, let’s dive deeper into how these innovative window coverings can transform specific rooms—and why Made in the Shade Southwest Colorado is your go-to expert.
We’ll Bring The Showroom To You! Schedule your Free In-Home Consultation to explore motorized options that fit your home, lifestyle, and budget.
Living Room Luxury: Comfort Meets Control
The living room is where family time, entertaining, and relaxation come together. It also tends to have large windows that invite natural light—sometimes too much of it. That’s where motorized roller shades or solar shades come in. These sleek coverings reduce glare, block UV rays, and maintain your view, all while being easy to adjust with a remote, smartphone, or smart home system.
Want blackout capabilities for movie night? Go for a dual shade solution with sheer and opaque fabrics layered into one sleek system. Control the ambiance with a tap or voice command.

Kitchen Solutions: Clean, Safe, and Cordless
The kitchen is the heart of the home—and often one of the trickiest spots for window treatments. You want something durable, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean. Enter motorized faux wood blinds and natural woven shades. These treatments offer cordless lift for a clean look and improved safety, especially around stoves and sinks.
Add smart shades and you can schedule them to raise with the sun or lower for afternoon shade. That’s not just convenience—it’s energy-smart design for Colorado’s sunny days and chilly mornings.
Bedrooms: Maximize Rest With Blackout Shades
If better sleep is on your wish list, motorized blackout shades should be, too. Bedrooms benefit from full light control and privacy, especially when sunrise comes early or neighbors are close.
For children’s rooms and nurseries, we recommend cellular shades with motorization. These are energy-efficient, cordless, and whisper-quiet—a must for nap time. You can even connect them to your home automation system and set a “sleep mode” that closes all the shades at bedtime automatically.
Pro Tip: Cellular shades also insulate, helping reduce heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Home Office: Reduce Glare and Boost Focus
Working from home has its perks—glare on your screen shouldn’t be one of them. A home office outfitted with solar shades or zebra shades lets you control incoming light without sacrificing style. Zebra shades, in particular, offer alternating bands of sheer and solid fabric, giving you adjustable light filtering throughout the day.
Pair them with smart home voice control or app-based scheduling, and your workspace can shift with the sun’s movement—automatically.
Bathrooms: Privacy, Moisture Resistance & Style
Yes, you can put motorized window coverings in the bathroom! You just need the right materials and lift system. Sheer shades with privacy liners or vinyl roller shades offer light filtering without sacrificing seclusion. With cordless and moisture-resistant options, you never have to touch the shade with wet hands again.
Need to keep windows open for ventilation? Use a remote to adjust the shades without compromising your privacy or stepping out of the tub.
Entryways & Hard-to-Reach Windows
Have a high foyer window or clerestory glass that’s just out of reach? Motorized window shades are a game-changer. With wood shutters or automated cellular shades, you can program them to adjust at sunrise and sunset without ever climbing a ladder.
It’s also a stylish solution for sliding glass doors and patio entrances. Outdoor sun shades can be motorized to extend or retract based on sun exposure or temperature settings—perfect for Colorado’s changing seasons.
Design + Technology: The Best of Both Worlds
When you choose Made in the Shade Southwest Colorado, you’re not just getting cutting-edge technology. You’re getting beautiful, customizable design. We offer premium collections from trusted brands like Graber, Alta Window Fashions, Horizons, Norman Shutters, and Insolroll.
Choose from hundreds of colors, fabrics, textures, and finishes. You can even add Tableaux Decorative Grilles for a one-of-a-kind accent that combines art and function.
The Future Is Smart—So Is Your Home
If you’re building a new home or doing a major remodel, it’s the perfect time to incorporate hardwired smart shades. But even if you’re just updating one room, today’s battery-operated systems make it easier than ever to bring smart shade technology into your space—no electrician required.
Many of our window treatments integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. You can also control them via mobile apps or preset timers.
Looking to retrofit your existing window coverings with motorization? We can help with that too.
