If you’ve been following us at iSeekBlinds or are a past or current customer, you’ll know we are huge fans of motorised and automated blinds and curtains.
These intelligent window treatments offer convenience, energy efficiency, and a touch of luxury that elevates any home. If you’re considering adding motorised blinds to your home, this guide will walk you through the process of choosing the perfect option for your space and ensure a smooth integration into your home.
So, let’s get started!
Before launching into the world of motorised blinds, take some time to assess your needs and requirements. Consider factors such as the size and type of windows you have, the amount of natural light you wish to control, and your specific interior style. Are you looking for privacy, energy efficiency, or simply convenience? Understanding your priorities will help you make informed decisions during the selection process.
Motorised blinds can be particularly handy on specific windows of your home. Think about:
Motorised blinds are either hard-wired into your home’s electricity source, or operated via battery power. At iSeekBlinds, we use rechargeable, ultra quiet, lithium-ion battery motors that are completely wire-free, for a few simple reasons:
Motorised blinds come in various materials and fabrics, suitable for different rooms and situations. Depending on your style preferences and functional requirements, choose from blockout, light filter or sunscreen fabrics. Remember that the fabric you select will influence the blinds’ appearance, durability, insulation properties, and the level of light control.

Visit our roller blind fabrics page to check out your options and order free samples.
Ensure that the motorised blinds you choose are compatible with your existing smart home system or the one you plan to install. Popular options like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit offer seamless integration, allowing you to control the blinds with voice commands or through a smartphone app.
Our roller blind motors can be integrated into your home automation system via the Automate app. Find out more about how it all works here.
