SoftTouch™ Motorization
The SoftTouch™ Motorization operating system is simple, clean, and minimal, yet the difference it can make in your home is very substantial. From an appearance standpoint, this system replaces any cords on your window coverings with a sleek wand, creating a more streamlined look for your home. The wand design also works to enhance the level of safety in your home. Hanging cords sometimes become hazards for children and pets, but the wand design keeps your windows safe for every member of your household. Plus, this motorized system makes adjusting your window coverings effortless, with only a push or a pull needed to get your ideal level of shade or privacy at any given moment.
Vertical Motorization
Your largest windows and your sliding glass doors often provide the best views in your entire home. Yet, the large expanse also results in the most effort when it comes to adjusting your home window treatments. You can replace the manual operating system with an electronic system that fully adjusts your vertical window treatments in seconds. The vertical motorization operating system lets you control your large window coverings with a remote control or a wall-mount for enhanced safety and convenience in each room.

The unexpected circular shapes will energize your design style. Don’t be a square – or even a rectangle! Rooms that have only sharp edges and straight lines can create a feeling of too much order and lead to a sense of discomfort or inflexibility. Add just a few round elements as an accent to soften and relax a room. You can be creative in your definition of “round” to include more than perfect circles. Include ovals, egg-shapes, ellipses, arches, curls, cylinders, rings and more. The idea is just that you add a few rounded shapes, in addition to the straight lines and square corners that are everywhere in your home. Even in the feng shui concept of interior design, round shapes are important. Feng shui is about balancing five elements, one of which is metal. The metal element is expressed as a round shape in decor; and round design elements are believed to bring clarity, precision, freshness and equality into a room. The possibilities for adding round shapes to your home environment are almost unlimited: Round pillows Curved patterns in wallpaper or upholstery fabric Cylindrical, round or oval accessories – such as vases, bowls and urns Disk-shaped tables – including dining tables, end tables and coffee tables Round light fixtures or lamps A circular sofa sectional Elliptical or round mirrors or artwork Spiral staircases And if you’re remodeling, round windows and arch top doorways or windows – or you can change the shape of a room to have a rounded window bay. Circular or oval rugs Think outside the box. Round out your interior design with some circular shapes!
