4 Reasons You Should Consider This Property Staging Solution

The concept of smart home automation has taken the housing market by storm. More and more homes have had devices installed that are designed to make homeowners’ lives more convenient. One smart home device many don’t think to include in the category are motorized window treatments.

Natural lighting can be adjusted throughout the day to meet a homeowner’s needs. Motorized shades can rise in the winter to let natural light in to warm the home, and in the summer they can lower to reduce solar heat gain in the house. Lutron’s motorized shades can automatically adjust with a tap of a button on a keypad, remote, or personal smart device.

According to the National Association of Home Builders and Consumer Electronics Association, smart devices such as motorized shades from Lutron may help increase the final closing price of your Seattle home by 3-5%. Keep reading below for more information.

Clients don’t need to be deep into smart home technology to enjoy Lutron motorized shades. Lutron’s window treatments are easy to integrate into a professionally programmed smart home system with a wireless tabletop control or via your smart device, but these treatments are also operable with keypads and IR remote controls as standalone smart devices.

Looks Great

Lutron motorized shades are available in a variety of colors, fabrics, and styles. From Venetian blinds to cellular shades or roller shades, these window treatments can meet the needs of just about any client you meet. Custom printing and personal material design are also available. Keypads also come in a variety of colors so you can avoid clashing colors and match any interior design scheme you’ve crafted.

Wired or Battery Powered

You may be wondering if Lutron motorized shades are a realistic option if the home you’re showing doesn’t have a wall outlet located near each window. Let’s be honest, not many homes have this, and not many people want the hassle of hiding wires running from outlet to window treatments. Don’t worry, Lutron offers lower-priced battery-operated shading options with rechargeable batteries homeowners only need to change every 1-5 years, depending on the model. If the option to run wires is available, wired motorized shades will offer a quieter and better integrated solution.
