Motorization=
Ease of Living!
How Motorization can help people
with physical disabilities & the elderly.
People without physical limitations
often do not appreciate how difficult
simple everyday tasks can be to
someone who is physically
compromised.
There are many changes that can be
made to a home to accommodate
people with a disability or senior
citizens who want to remain in their homes as they age.
Many times a small modification can remove an obstacle. For example,
in every room of the house, a simple adjustment in lighting can improve
visibility by using brighter lightbulbs and adding new lights to dark areas of
the home.
Another common problem is the inability to reach the controls to
operate window treatments. It is not unusual for furniture to block
access. A solution to this is motorized window treatments. Motorized
window treatments provide the homeowner with a way to allow sunlight
in and can work wonders on a person's psyche! Motorized window
treatments also ensure that older adults won't have to risk falling while
crossing a dimly-lit room.
Motorized window coverings can be controlled by a hand-held remote
control, wireless wall switch, table-top accessory and more!
Motorized Window Treatments offers a variety of motorized products to fit
almost any need or desire!

How to....
Get Great Window
Treatments!
Summer is here and that means
hot, hot, hot temperatures! Get
your windows ready for the heat
with these cool summer tips.
BE MINIMAL
Strip away heavy window coverings and replace with simple shade, such
"Serving the Greater
Chicagoland area
since 2009"
If you live in or around...
Northwest Suburbs
as using an upholstered cornice.
(Schaumburg, Palatine,
Barrington, Arlington Heights)
LIGHTEN UP
Natural light is essential! Try pleated shades as an attractive way to let in
some natural light. Some companies offer versions suitable for skylights
or arched windows!
North Shore
(Libertyville, Northbrook, Lake
Forest, Highland Park)
PICK CURRENT COLORS
If you're using fabric, make sure it's in a contemporary tone. For example,
terra cotta shades are very 'in' mixed with greens, blacks and golds.
Cool colors can make a tiny room look larger and brighter, while dark,
warm colors can make an over-sized room more inviting.
ADD TEXTURE
Textures, such as Roman Shades made of rattan, bamboo or other
natural fibers can add visual interest and still roll up smoothly.
Chicago
(Bucktown, Lincoln Park,
Wrigleyville, Old Town, Gold
Coast)
Downtown Chicago
(600 N. Lake Shore Drive, 55 E.
Monroe or Park Monroe, Trump
Tower)
SOFTEN DIRECT LIGHT
Use simple wood blinds or woven wood shades to filter direct light without
looking too heavy.
Southwest Suburbs
(Western Springs, Hinsdale,
Downers Grove, Burr Ridge,
Clarendon Hills)
CONSIDER SOME CURVES
Some homes have a lot of straight lines. Adding a window treatment with
soft curves can open a space up. Arching a valance is another good
option. Other options include a curved cornice, a box-pleated valance with
a curved line along the bottom.
We would love to work with you
on your next window treatment,
retrofit, or motorization
project!
Summer is an ideal time to upgrade the look and feel of your
home. Remember, almost any type of window treatment can help cut
back on energy bills and protect your treasured possessions!
