Mom & Blogger Uses Motorized Shades for Child Safety Paired with Elegant Design

When Kristine, of Cozy & Kin, created her youngest daughter’s nursery, she noticed that the cords on the roman shades she originally installed would quickly become a safety hazard. 

Kristine contacted Behind the Glass, a Somfy Expert dealer, to learn more about window coverings that would fit with her nursery’s décor and ensure her daughter’s safety. Behind the Glass recommended motorized shades to meet all of Kristine’s needs. 

“As soon as I heard about this solution, I knew it was what we needed in our home for efficiency and peace of mind,” wrote Kristine. Once she settled on custom motorized shades for the nursery, she decided to also upgrade the shades in her own bedroom and her daughter Taylor’s room! 

The motorization was especially beneficial in the nursery’s ceiling dormer window. Kristine knew that not being able to adjust the incoming light from that high window would be a growing problem. With the small and quiet Sonesse® 30 motor, the dormer window went from frustrating to fabulous. Behind the Glass designed a custom shade to prevent any light leakage while preserving the window’s charming look. Now Kristine pushes a single button to initiate nap time and close the blinds of all four windows in the nursery. She’s able to set the mood and rock her little one to sleep without disruptively running around to unwind long cords and close shades one at a time. 

For the shades in her own room, Kristine wanted a light, clean color, but with blackout features to ensure better sleep. She went with a similar product in her older daughter’s room, but incorporated a pink stripe to tie that room’s décor together. Now Kristine and her daughter both enjoy mornings more when they use their individual Somfy remotes to let the sunshine help them wake up. 

Kristine says, “It’s such a nice way to start our day! I love it when technology makes our life easier.” The Cord Lift WireFree™ motor is designed to expertly lift and lower the weight of these blackout shades. The motor stays out of sight where it can’t interfere with a room’s aesthetic, and its wireless technology delivers both style and safety! 

Not only is Kristine pleased to have incorporated an efficient and safe solution into her home’s classic design, but she also appreciates the peace of mind that comes with Somfy’s 5 year warranty. She and her family are able to enjoy their new motorized shades with confidence. 

While the Lee family is pleased with their ability to control incoming light flow using Somfy remotes, other users enjoy the convenience of smart home technology for motorized blinds and shades. Somfy TaHoma® integrates with smart home systems to provide all the luxury and convenience of home automation. Users can set shades and blinds to respond to voice commands, app controls, or scheduled scenes for time of day.
