Ways to Use Motorized Window Treatments in Homes

Go big or go home, as the saying goes. But why not go big in your home? Your interior design project should include transformative choices for your home window treatments, and choosing Hunter Douglas home window treatments is the perfect way to achieve this. From dramatic light choices to luxurious fabrics, you get only the best quality when you choose Hunter Douglas custom window treatments. But your home transformation isn’t limited to how your interior looks; you can also bring your windows into motion by choosing motorized window treatments. As with any product from Hunter Douglas, your motorized window treatments come with plenty of exciting options you can choose from.

PowerView® Motorization

When you choose PowerView® Motorization for your home, both the look of your windows and the way you experience life inside dramatically changes. The internal batteries and electronic components are all well-hidden and neatly integrated into the window treatments, keeping your windows looking sleek and refined. Plus, getting rid of the need for manual adjustment means having no cords or wands on your window treatments creating a streamlined and crisp appearance. You also get to enjoy a home free of hazards with your windows since there are no cords. There are several ways you can choose to use your motorized window treatments, adding incredible convenience to your home.

Pebble® Remote Control

Your motorized blinds, shades, or shutters come with the Pebble® Remote Control, a simple and great-looking solution that allows you to remotely control your motorized window treatments. Available in a wide variety of colors, this option is a remote control you’ll be proud to show off. You can control up to six groups of window treatments from anywhere in your home using this option.

Pebble® Scene Controller

When you have your window treatments adjusted just right, you can save those settings and quickly access them later on using the Pebble® Scene Controller. Find the right setting between each window treatment in your home based on the time of day, mood, or activity, then just save those adjustments for activation when the time comes. Both this system and the Pebble® Remote Control come in a wall-mount option as well.

PowerView® app

To get the most potential out of your motorized window treatments, download the PowerView® app for your smartphone or tablet. Not only does this allow you to simply use the devices you always use to control your windows, but it allows you to control an unlimited combination of window treatments. The app also allows you to link your window treatments with a smart home automation system like Alexa, so you can control your window treatments with your voice. You can even use the scheduling feature to plan your scene settings in advance. Here at Barrows Custom Window Treatments, we are proud to offer motorized window treatments from Hunter Douglas.

Adding round-shaped interior elements can smooth the hard edges in your interior look.

By Barrows Custom Window Treatments • April 1, 2025

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!
