Carefully chosen window coverings add elegance, sophistication, and beauty to your home’s design.

While it may be hard to imagine, there was a time when changing the TV channels required getting up from the couch and manually switching stations. Back then, we also had payphones, pagers, and landline phones—alien concepts to the younger generations. One day, we’ll look back upon traditional homes in much the same way. 

Today, home automation offers incredible convenience, far surpassing the changes handheld remotes brought to the TV. Now, from a remote, touchscreen, smartphone app, or in-wall keypad, you can control lighting, shades, climate, security, all your many entertainment devices, and much more. With one tap of a button, your home in Denver, CO, is just the way you want it. Remarkable.

Let's explore a few unique ways a smart home provides comfort, security, and enjoyment. 

When you were a little kid and were absolutely positive something was lurking under your bed, what was the first thing you did? Did you turn on the lights?

Since we were small, lights have had a calming effect on us. There’s something about seeing what’s in front of us that makes us feel safer. (Or, it simply relieves us to know that there actually are no monsters under the bed.)

Either way, as adults, many homeowners appreciate the additional feelings of security that come from having easy access to lights through a lighting control system. Whether needed to steady our steps in the dark or make us feel less alone, lighting is a security blanket we rely on.

Nothing quite matches the feeling of opening the shades in the morning, looking out over the beautiful landscape Denver, CO, offers, and feeling the warmth of the sun. Many leave their shades open, enjoying the beauty natural light brings. This same sunlight can boost your mood, enhance your energy levels, and reduce your energy usage. Unfortunately, it can also damage the interior of your home. 

When direct UV rays hit floors, furniture, fine artwork, and photographs, they can cause fading and permanent discoloration. To protect our homes, we tend to lower the shades when direct sunlight enters and often leave them closed for the rest of the day, missing out on the beautiful views and the healing effects of sunlight.

There is a better way. Smart shades do the work for you, automatically rising and lowering throughout the day based on the temperature and direct sun’s rays. Thanks to home automation, you can tap an icon on a touchscreen or a button on an elegant in-wall keypad and control one or every shade in your home.

But it gets better. Let’s explore what smart shades offer homeowners and why they're one of the most popular trends in home automation.

Because routers and switches are available at your local electronics store, many homeowners attempt to install their own home networks.

We can install your home network to provide strong signals throughout your Denver, CO, home. We also customize settings to ensure the network meets your needs. Continue reading and learn why turning to a professional is essential if you’re not skilled in setting up home networks.
