One of the most desirable features in any home is a beautiful view and those homeowners fortunate enough to have one will want to enjoy it as much as possible. Despite this, it can easily become a battle between privacy, light control, and enjoying your chosen view. Improvements in Blinds technology have made this much easier, striking a brilliant balance and allowing you to maximise your view with Motorised Blinds.
Why compromise your view?
When a beautiful view is so highly sought after you may wonder why some homeowners would even consider compromising such a prominent feature. There are a few reasons that some might consider more important than enjoying a view.
Light
Getting a good night’s sleep is important for your health and well-being. The Sleep Foundation suggests it is best to sleep in as much darkness as possible so as to maintain high levels of melatonin production and a healthy circadian rhythm. This means whether it’s cars, streetlights, or a bright summer evening, being able to restrict light in your home at night is essential.
Noise
If you live in a populated area it can be hard to get true peace and quiet. Whether it is people, cars, or anything else, there are times when you would much rather have some silence. Blinds offer an extra level of insulation over your windows which is great for trapping heat, but can also reduce noise. Thicker blinds designed to prevent heat loss will provide the most quiet.
Privacy
There is nothing worse than feeling like you are being watched in your own home! Having privacy from neighbours or people passing your home helps you feel safe and secure in your most intimate moments. With large windows becoming more and more common in contemporary-style homes, without Blinds many people are losing privacy.
Why are Motorised Blinds best for Maximising your view?
Motorised Blinds allow you to maximise your view and enjoy it as much as possible without sacrificing control over your privacy, light, and noise. This is because with Motorised Blinds you can raise and lower your Blinds with ease, encouraging you to use them as often as needed throughout the day.
Operating Large Blinds
Large Blinds can be offputting to operate regularly due to their weight. By motorising them you can take away the effort required to operate them, allowing you to use them as often as you would like. With some particularly large windows, it may also only be possible to use a Motorised Blind due to the height or weight that would make it impossible to operate yourself.
Automatic Blinds
With the TaHoma add-on on Motorised Blinds can be controlled through a handy Somfy app. This gives you even greater control such as setting up automatic timings for your Blinds. This means you can go to sleep in darkness whilst ensuring your Blinds will make sure you wake up to your beautiful view!
The TaHoma also allows integration into smart-home devices such as Alexa or a Nest. This opens up the ability to have voice control or have your Blinds respond to things like the temperature outside.

How to Maximise Your View with Motorised Blinds
We have helped many customers in the past find their perfect balance of comfort and style by maximising their view with Motorised Blinds.
Keeping Privacy Whilst Enjoying Their View with Motorised Blinds
This customer’s home featured a beautiful view out onto the coast, over a busy road and a local park. This meant that at times they lacked privacy, be it cars or dog walkers, who could see right into their bedroom.
By using motorised Blinds they could easily lower their Blinds at any time to have a bit more peace. They also were able to programme the Blinds to stop midway, allowing some natural light whilst blocking the streetlights and view from the park into their home.
Cooling Your Home While Maximising View with Motorised Blinds
Large windows are brilliant for allowing a beautiful view and natural light, but they can allow too much heat into your home during warm weather. This customer found their living spaces became too warm in the Summer so they opted for Motorised Blinds.
With the Tahoma add on they were able to have their Blinds automatically raise to unveil their view in the morning. It was then as simple as pushing a button on one of their handy remotes, or in the Somfy app, to lower the Blinds on days when the sun gets too much!
Sheer Motorised Roller Blinds with a Seaside View
One of the most breathtaking views we have ever had the pleasure on working with made excellent use of Vision fabric as they maintained their view with Motorised Blinds.
By using Vision Motorised Roller Blinds they were able to block glare from the sun and create a relaxing space that they could enjoy whilst still maintaining their view with Motorised Blinds.
Since Vision fabric is partially see-through, the glare was blocked but their living are still filled with natural light and they could still make out much of their view through it. Of course for a full view they only needed to press a button!
