Motorized Shades Protect Art and Furnishings for Home Décor Blogger

When interior designer and lifestyle blogger Tommy Lei from the blog My Belonging was looking for window treatments, motorization was the last thing on his mind. He was simply looking for shades that would complement his décor and protect his privacy in his relatively modest home. 

After talking to Aero Shade, however, Tommy had a change of heart. The Somfy dealer saw that Tommy’s home was filled with unique furniture and art. Aero Shade knew that UV rays can easily fade even the boldest print and that leaving a shade open all day can reduce the life of a brilliant painting or stylish armchair. 

Soon, Tommy went from skeptic to believer when he discovered the power of motorized shades to protect home décor and furnishings, all automatically. With the myLink app, Tommy could set his own schedule for his shades, so he never had to remember to open them in the morning or close the shades at night for privacy. As a frequent traveler, Tommy loved the idea of being able to control his shades from anywhere. Better yet, putting the shades on a schedule meant protecting his unique home style from the damaging effects of UV rays. 

“I can rest easy and go about my day knowing that Somfy’s motorized shades offer amazing UV ray protection. As much as I love natural sunlight, too much of it can be a bad thing!” Tommy wrote. 

He was also excited that motorized shades can integrate with Amazon Alexa, meaning he can now control his shades with simple voice commands. The wow factor of talking to your shades and having them listen was certainly a big point in their favor!

Finally, and most importantly for an interior designer, because Somfy works with a wide variety of fabrics and styles, Tommy could choose shades to perfectly match his own home décor style. The shades he chose blended seamlessly into his room, easily combining technology and style into one smart package. 

“Somfy motorized shades save me time. It’s very easy and convenient to motorize my window coverings, so we don’t have to manually operate them throughout the day.” – My Belonging
