The difference that a good pair of curtains or blinds can make to your home is quite unexpected – it can really tie a room together and make the property feel complete. Throw in some smart technology and we promise you’ll never look back.

Adding smart technology into your blinds and curtains can help create a house that is tailored to you and your lifestyle, down to the smallest of details. One of our favourite solutions is Lutron Homeworks QS from beautiful finish, to ease of use with control from discreet smart panels or event from your own phone, giving you all the power right at your fingertips.

How can automation make your life better? Using the Lutron Electric Curtain Track system blinds and curtains can be set to open and close at specific times of the day; imagine being woken up by the morning sunshine slowly being let into your room as the blinds automatically open themselves at your set wakeup time or close as light levels drop.

There are many ways in which the Clarke team can integrate technology into your property without it being the centre of attention. In a recent project we worked with a client where the brief was an automated home with amazing integrated hidden tech. We worked with the client from the planning stages (before the property was built) which allowed our team to advise and build in some great solutions. Just one design feature was to raise the standard lintels in the house which provided a pocket in the walls above the windows for sleeker installation of the blinds and curtains.

There’s no need to be worried about modern technology taking over the visual design of your home – Clarke will tailor your smart home specifically to your wants and needs.

We love to keep things looking neat, which is easy to do with products such as the Lutron Sivoia QS Roller Shades, which comes in an array of sizes depending on the space you want covered. Whether you just want to cover a small residential window or create a whole curtain wall, Lutron have got everything you need.

Wanting to know how modern technology can improve other areas of your house and your life? Consider installing velux windows in your home – sensors will be installed on the roof of your property, which can then detect when it begins to rain and automatically close the windows for you. No more running around the house when there’s a sudden down pour! Technology that is truly smart!
