Why Electric Roller Blinds in Your Home Office is Good for Business and Family

Most of us would desire a conducive work environment: one with limited distractions for maximum productivity.

To design your home office impeccably, one thing to take into account is electric roller blinds.

You'd be surprise at how this window covering is more than just a decorative accessory. It can enhance work efficiency, and—most importantly—keep your office non-intrusive enough for your home to still be a sanctuary for the family.

Easy Usage

Roller blinds are conducive to home workspaces because they are easy to use. You can roll them up or down to achieve desirable levels of natural light, so you won’t need to expend much effort—unlike curtains, which must be secured with knots.

What is even better, your existing manual roller blinds can now be converted into electric roller blinds- Enter Somfy’s range of Wirefree Motors for Blinds.

Once fully motorised, you can control these blinds via your voice assistant or a smartphone app. You don’t have to pause your work just move to the blinds every time you need to adjust the amount of incoming sunlight.

Moreover, this type of window covering is easy to clean. You can wipe down the fabric with a damp cloth, brush over its surface, or vacuum along its length to remove any dirt or accumulated dust.

Home Aesthetics

Installing electric roller blinds is a great way to beautify your home workplace. The clean, simple lines of these window shades will give your workspace the austere ambience of corporate offices.

Nowadays, most retailers offer bespoke services. Beyond just providing you with the size, pattern, colour, and fabric of manual blinds, a number have been equipped with knowledge to offer connected and motorised solutions too.

With so many design possibilities, you are sure to find lovely electric roller blinds that mean business while still fitting in with the rest of your home decor.

Optimum Privacy

Distracting noises affect concentration—and so do feelings of being watched. Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable in their home workspace if they are exposed to public view?

With electric roller blinds, you can shield your remote office and home from prying eyes. These automated shades offer flexibility in privacy management by granting you extensive light control. If you feel eyes on you while utilising natural light in the day, you can lower the roller blinds (via remote control) to a degree that blocks the intrusive line of sight, while still allowing some sunlight to enter.

In addition, when clients are over for discussions involving classified information, you can lower the roller blinds to dampen outbound sound. This is to prevent leaking of sensitive information to any nosy ears on the other side of the windows.

Corporate Vibes

While curtains also provide privacy and keep unwelcome light at bay, they lack something important for office usage: the corporate feel. They may be a staple of home furnishing, but they are seldom used as interior business decor.

On the contrary, electric roller blinds can make your home office exude corporate vibes—not just aesthetically, but functionally as well.

These roller blinds can double as a projection screen, especially if your home office is too small for an actual one. By lowering them at the touch of a button (or with voice activation), you can professionally project your presentation slides to clients in a jiffy!
