1. Roller Shades 

Roller shades are a popular shading style in most homes, but this time, you don’t have to worry about the bracket getting jammed or stuck as you tug on the shade. With a tap of a button or through automated schedules, your roller shades will gently lower or rise without a hitch. 

Lutron’s roller shades are available in wired and battery-powered options, with customizable fabrics and bracket finishes. Roller brackets can either be exposed or concealed inside a cassette. You can also layer roller shades to use a sheer fabric one moment, and blackout shades the next. 

2. Roman Shades 

Roman shades are typically raised or lowered by pulling a cord system that connects to rings sewn into the back of the fabric. When raised, the fabric stacks neatly in horizontal folds. In the motorized version, it only requires a tap of a button to adjust the shades. Lutron’s Roman shades are an elegant alternative to roller shades, with a wide variety of fabrics to choose from. 

3. Tensioned Shades 

What about skylights and angled windows? They can get the motorized shading treatment, too! Lutron’s tensioned shades are designed with taut fabric panels that align flush to windows without drooping or sagging and can eliminate light leaks around the edges. This way, you can keep rooms cool or prevent fading by covering skylights when the sun is in the middle of the sky. 

4. Cellular/Honeycomb Shades 

Lutron’s honeycomb shades are made with air pockets between the fabric that add insulation to your windows. Available in single-layer and double-layer models, these cellular shades are a smart way to keep rooms extra cool in summer by preventing heat gain and keeping cool air inside. In winter, honeycomb shades will keep warm air inside so that you can rely less on the HVAC system all year long. 

5. Wooden Blinds 

Wooden blinds may look organic and natural, but they can be intelligently controlled, too! Lutron’s wooden blinds are available in various wood finishes and offer the ultimate privacy when closed. You can even remotely tilt the blinds, adjusting the precise amount of light you need. 

6. Motorized Drapes 

Prefer to use fabric drapes in your home? Drapes are especially popular for large floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can control your window drapery vertically or horizontally with Lutron controls. Drapery track systems will move the drapes to the exact location you desire, whether that’s opening completely or stopping halfway. 

No matter the types of shades, blinds, or drapes you want, you can control them all remotely and simultaneously through the Lutron app. Discover how convenient motorized shading can be, and contact r:home to get started with a smart shading system today!
