Designing Your Dream Home: Choosing the Right Motorised Blind Style

Creating your dream home involves a careful blend of style, comfort, and practicality. One often-overlooked detail that can significantly enhance your living space is motorised blinds. Offering a perfect balance of convenience and sophistication, motorised blinds from Total Look Blinds are a surefire way to transform your home’s aesthetic and functionality. If you’re not sure where to start - look no further. Today we’re guiding you through all the necessary considerations to choose the right blinds for your needs.

 

Why Motorised Blinds Are a Must-Have for Modern Homes

Motorised blinds offer unparalleled convenience and luxury. With just a push of a button or a voice command, you can control the amount of light and privacy in any room. This automation is especially beneficial for hard-to-reach windows, large panes of glass, and homeowners seeking a tech-savvy touch. In addition, motorised blinds are known to improve energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs by regulating indoor temperatures. Not to mention, for security-conscious homeowners, the ability to program blinds to open and close at specific times offers added peace of mind.

 

Types of Motorised Blinds Available at Total Look Blinds

Total Look Blinds offers a variety of motorised blinds to fit any style and function:

  • Roller Blinds: Sleek and versatile, roller blinds provide clean lines and work well in both contemporary and classic settings. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens, they offer excellent light control.
  • Venetian Blinds: These blinds allow precise light adjustment thanks to their horizontal slats, making them perfect for controlling sunlight and privacy. Available in wood or PVC, they bring timeless elegance.
  • Vertical Blinds: Perfect for large windows and sliding doors, vertical blinds offer a practical, space-saving solution with an elegant twist.

With bespoke options, Total Look Blinds allows you to select from various colours, materials, and finishes to create a truly personalised look.

 

Matching Motorised Blinds with Your Interior Design

The right motorised blinds should blend seamlessly with your existing interior design. Consider the colour palette and patterns of your walls, furniture, and decor. If you have a minimalist or modern interior, neutral-toned roller blinds with clean lines can provide a complementary touch. For more traditional homes, Roman blinds in rich fabrics or wooden Venetian blinds can evoke a sense of warmth and sophistication. Don’t be afraid to experiment with textures or even dual-layer blinds for greater light control and aesthetic appeal.

 

Technology and Smart Home Integration

Motorised blinds can take your smart home experience to new heights. Many systems are compatible with popular smart home devices such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa. With the ability to control blinds remotely via smartphone apps or voice commands, you can easily create the perfect ambience in any room without moving a muscle. Total Look Blinds offers intuitive and user-friendly controls, ensuring that even the least tech-savvy users can master their blinds' operation.

 

Energy Efficiency and Light Control Features

Reducing your carbon footprint and energy bills has never been easier. Motorised blinds can help optimise natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting and aiding in temperature regulation. When closed during the hottest parts of the day, they prevent heat from entering, keeping your space cool and minimising air conditioning use. Opt for energy-efficient fabrics with heat-blocking properties to enhance insulation. Adjustable motorised blinds give you fine control over light levels, making it easy to set the perfect mood for any occasion.

 

Child and Pet Safety Benefits

Safety is a top priority for homes with children and pets. Traditional blinds with cords can pose a serious hazard, but motorised blinds eliminate this risk entirely. Cordless operation ensures a clutter-free, child-safe environment, allowing parents and pet owners to rest easy. Total Look Blinds prioritises safety, providing additional peace of mind for family-friendly spaces.

 

Customisation Options at Total Look Blinds

Every home is unique, and Total Look Blinds understands that. That’s why they offer made-to-measure solutions, ensuring your motorised blinds fit perfectly and enhance your home’s aesthetic. Customers can choose from a wide array of materials, colours, and motor speeds to suit their needs. Whether you prefer a soft, elegant look or a bold, modern statement, Total Look Blinds provides expert consultation services to guide you every step of the way.

 

Tips for Choosing the Right Motorised Blind Style

Choosing the best motorised blinds for your space starts with understanding your needs. Ask yourself the following:

  • What level of light and privacy control do you require?
  • Do you prefer a minimalist or decorative design?
  • Is energy efficiency a top priority?
  • What’s your budget, and how do motorised blinds fit into it? 

By assessing these factors, you’ll be better equipped to choose motorised blinds that strike the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Bhavika n Divesh Kumar
We used Total Look Blinds in 2005 for our family home. After 19 years of wear and tear we needed some parts and couple of vertical blinds track needed fixing. Took a drive to Takanini and was greeted by the office lady Jo who was very helpful and was amazed when she pulled out our 19 years old invoice from their record. The team manage to fix the track within a day and got the parts i needed at a fair price. Highly recommend them if you want quality products and a fantastic after sales service. Great company to deal with 😊
WYNN RIECHELMANN
Absolutely love our TotalBlinds shutters! They have transformed our bedroom. Service from measure up and quote was excellent and communication with the TotalBlinds team was a pleasure! They took half the time than was quoted by another supplier and although they were a bit cheaper, the shutters are very good quality. Plus they are NZ made! Highly recommend!
Tina Smith
Have used Total Look Blinds for a number of years and always outstanding service. Jo had my blind repair turned around in less than 3 hours. Highly recommend them.
Peter McLeod
I enquired about a blind repair. Response was quick and friendly and when I took the blind into the factory to get it fixed, it was done immediately, with a smile and finished within 10min. Very impressive and much appreciated
Alisha Dodds
This is the second time we have used total look blinds and they are amazing! So simple to get a quote, easy ordering process and arrived much sooner than we thought! The installer was super lovely and I will be getting my blinds through this company again!
Nerissa Attewell

Had an old vertical blind that was manufactured by them, that was broken. Excellent cheery and quick repair service and great value too.

Support kiwi jobs stay local. If you buy something NZ made you can get spares.
Peter Glass
Great service from quote to install. Deliver on their promises. Multiple repeat customer. Excellent team to deal with.
Louise Kennedy
Total Look Blinds were absolutely amazing to deal with. From prompt and clear communication through to an excellent and earlier than expected fit, I could not be happier. Thank you for such a stress free, professional experience. Will recommend your company far and wide!
Parvaneh Karimi Fishani
We had double roller blinds installed in our new house. The price was much more reasonable compared to other shops, and their service was reasonably fast. The staff were friendly and helpful!

I can't say much about the quality of the material since the blinds haven't been installed for long, but we hope they will be as good as the service we received!
Kambiz Radman
Could not be happier with my new sun screens and blinds, look awesome. The material seems nice and hopefully durable (I'll update you on that later).
"Terry" is a positive Rep who speaks clearly. He measured well but didn't explain some installation details, which confused me afterward. However, "Carolyn" came to the site and explained everything very well. Roger is a professional installer who did a quick and clean job. Thanks "Jo" for admin updates and following up. 101% recommended.
Brooke Maber
Really impressed with Total Look Blinds, Terry was great to deal with and very knowledgeable with some great advice when selecting blinds. Great communication from Jo. Since having them installed we have decided on a few tweaks and add ons which they made very easy for us. I recommend you to everyone! Thank you.
Lisa Fong
Could not be happier with my new shutters - big shout out to Total Look Blinds who did a fantastic job with the measure, manufacture and installation! All done in NZ so would highly recommend!
