Overwhelmed By All the Light?
One of the best parts of spring? All the light! One of the hardest parts of spring?
All the light.
If you’ve been considering upgrading your window treatments, the increased glare and angle of equinox sunlight may be pushing you just a bit more to explore the options for your home.
And you’re in luck: individualized shading systems from companies like Savant and Lutron offer a wide variety of opportunities for smart home technology that can enhance the quality of your design while giving you more control over when and how exterior light enters your home.
And the pay-off can be quite exciting. For New Yorker Rebecca Day, new motorized window treatments allowed her to get exactly the right kind of lighting for her home.
Inspired by a new window installation in her condo, Day worked with an integrator to select and install motorized shades that would inhibit the blinding late-day sun, provide privacy at night, and still allow the stunning skyline view. She also wanted shades that were easy to use. Day worked with an integrator who led her through the process of finding the right shading system and then ensuring that it would meet the needs of her home, both aesthetically and functionally. With their guidance, Day chose the fabric and color best suited to the NYC seasons and quality of light. On installation day, the shades were mounted, installed, and programmed in less than two hours. Day can now control her shading system from anywhere and anytime using a simple app.
She writes: “It took a little getting used to at first when the west shade dropped on its own, like magic, because the shades are amazingly silent. We only know they’re coming down every day at 4:30 because the light changes.” And that after a month of motorized shades, the her opinion is a “big thumbs up.”
