Enhancing Natural Light with Custom Window Treatments
Discover the Beauty, Security, and Convenience of Motorized Shades
In a home, natural light provides numerous benefits. It reduces stress, increases energy, improves moods, and helps you sleep better. It also transforms the interior with a sun-washed glow, filling spaces with ambient light. For designers, it’s one of the essential elements that adds to a home’s aesthetics, injecting energy and creating an expansive space that shifts throughout the day.
The right lighting can change a home’s look, feel, and design.
The problem arises when the direct sun’s rays start heating up the interior and fading fine artwork, furniture, carpets, and wooden floors. In response, we lower the shades and miss out on the beauty of natural light—that is, until we incorporate automated custom window treatments into the mix.
Let’s explore what these beautiful window coverings offer your home in Little Rock, AR.

Beauty By Design
Many people are under the assumption that motorized window treatments only come in the form of shades. And, while roller shades that automatically raise and lower are incredibly convenient, they don’t align with every home’s aesthetics.
Automated custom window coverings actually come in numerous styles and hundreds of fabrics. From modern Roman shades that provide elegant charm to sheer flowing draperies and blinds, there’s the ideal window covering for every room and window. At HomeTroniX, we work with designers and homeowners, exploring the possibilities until we’ve settled on the perfect treatment.
We consider how a room is used and how daylight enters the windows from dawn to dusk. Some spaces benefit from shades with sheer open weaves that let in the diffuse light of the sun and retain a home’s view. Translucent shades create a soft, filtered glow and provide enhanced privacy. Room darkening shades use opaque fabrics to block out the sun and are commonly used in media rooms and bedrooms.
One of our partners, Hunter Douglas, offers Luminette® Privacy Sheers, which combine sheer fabric for enhanced daylight and vertical fabric vanes that preserve privacy.
Setting the Mood
As the name implies, automated window coverings work automatically. They raise and lower at preset times, adjust based on the sun’s intensity, and lower for security purposes when you leave your home and as night descends.
You can also press a button, tap on a mobile device, or state a voice command to raise and lower one or every shade and instantly adjust your window coverings through programmed scenes. For instance, pressing ‘Date Night’ may lower every shade in the living room. Tap ‘Movie Night,’ and the blackout shades close. Touch ‘Good Morning,’ and your window coverings raise in perfect synchronicity across a wall of windows.
Optimum Security
When you leave for an extended weekend, pressing the ‘Away’ button programs the shades to adjust automatically, creating the appearance that you’re home. Called presence simulation, law enforcement agencies suggest it’s one of the best methods for preventing theft and intrusion.
