#5 Dual Shades: Have Your Cake and Eat it, Too

When it comes to window covering innovations, we call these shades the best of both worlds. That’s because it’s simply what they provide! Dual shades are so valuable and versatile. You are able to enjoy the beautiful sunlight through the light filtering front shade. Then when it comes time to sleep, you can block out any outside light with the blackout portion of the shade. They operate independently and are very simple to switch from using one to the other! Explore this option.Minneapolis home with dual shades, window covering innovations.

It has never been easier to switch between light filtering and room darkening, but now that quick option is here and only takes a simple twist of the wrist.

#7 Control Your Shades with a Voice Command

Now that voice command “everything” is on the rise, it’s becoming the norm. Why? The convenience and simplicity it can bring to a home is invaluable! No worries if your hands are full, you can still draw your shades, tilt shutters, or adjust the tilt of your automated blinds with a few words to Alexa or Siri. See motorization details here.
