Smart Window Shades, Smarter Homes

Shades

At Made in the Shade South Mississippi, we specialize in bringing together cutting-edge technology and custom design to transform the way your windows work for you. Today’s smart homes are more than just thermostats and security cameras. They include smart window treatments that enhance comfort, convenience, and energy savings—while looking stunning. If you’re upgrading your home in South Mississippi, motorized shades and blinds could be your next favorite feature.

We’ll Bring The Showroom To You! With our free in-home consultations, professional measuring, and expert installation, upgrading to smart window coverings has never been easier.

What Are Smart Window Treatments?

Smart window treatments include motorized blinds for home, shades, shutters, and drapes that can be controlled using a remote, smartphone app, or even your voice through smart home assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri.

They’re sleek, safe (especially with cordless designs), and totally customized for your home. We proudly offer brands like Graber, Alta Window Fashions, Norman Shutters, Insolroll, and more—each known for blending beauty with smart technology.

Why Upgrade to Smart Window Treatments?

South Mississippi’s sun can be intense, and keeping your home cool while protecting your furnishings matters. Here’s why high-tech window coverings are the modern solution:

  • ☀️ Energy Efficiency: Smart window shades can be programmed to open and close based on the time of day or the amount of sunlight. That means you can reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter—without touching a thing.
  • 🛏️ Convenience: Operate all your window coverings from a single device, or automate them on a schedule. Whether you’re at home, at work, or on vacation, control is always at your fingertips.
  • 🛡️ Increased Privacy & Security: Automatically lower your shades at dusk or simulate presence while you’re away, helping to deter prying eyes or potential intruders.
  • 👶 Child & Pet Safety: Cordless designs remove dangling cords, reducing hazards for small children and pets. With motorization, it’s safer and smoother.
  • 🖼️ Custom Style Meets Technology: Choose from hundreds of fabrics, patterns, and opacities—from sheer to blackout. Whether you love natural woven shades, cellulars, rollers, or dual zebra shades, we have tech-friendly options that match your design goals.

How Do Smart Blinds Work?

Our motorized blinds and shades are powered in several convenient ways:

  • Battery-Operated: Great for existing windows, no rewiring needed.
  • Hardwired: Ideal for new construction or major remodels.
  • Solar-Powered: A sustainable option for sun-facing windows.

They can integrate with systems like Z-Wave, Zigbee, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit depending on your preference.

We partner with industry leaders like Graber’s Virtual Cord™, Norman’s PerfectTilt™, and Insolroll’s Home Automation Ready Shades to deliver reliable, responsive technology.

Where Can Smart Window Shades Be Installed?

They’re perfect for nearly every room in the house. Here are a few favorite ideas from our design team:

  • 🛋️ Living Room: Automate solar shades to adjust with the sun’s position, reducing glare while preserving your view.
  • 🍳 Kitchen: Motorized roller shades keep your space cool and clean. No cords to tangle while cooking.
  • 🛏️ Bedroom: Set your blackout shades to close at night and rise with the sunrise, promoting natural sleep cycles.
  • 🛁 Bathroom: Enjoy privacy on demand with moisture-resistant materials in a spa-like setting.
  • 🧒 Kids’ Rooms: Smart cellular shades combine insulation with a completely cordless, safe design.
  • 🏡 Outdoor Spaces: Motorized exterior shades block heat and glare on patios, porches, and sunrooms—perfect for our South Mississippi lifestyle.

What Makes Smart Window Treatments “Smart” in 2025?

  • Voice Activation: “Hey Alexa, close the blinds.”
  • App Integration: Adjust your shades while away from home.
  • Scene Setting: Program specific moods like “Movie Night” or “Morning Routine.”
  • Sensor Technology: Shades react to heat, light, or motion.
  • Custom Scheduling: Automate shades to open at sunrise and close at sunset.
