Motorized shades

Electric blinds put the power in your hands

Smart blinds allow you to bend the light to your will without having to get up. No more struggling to get out of bed in the morning to pull the curtains. No need to set the popcorn aside to address the glare interrupting movie night or Saturday morning cartoons with the kids. Just use the remote control or set your blinds to open or close on schedule with a nifty timer. Since the blinds and remote are wireless and battery-operated, there’s no need to bother with any electrical installation, which makes them easy-to-install. You can use the TRÅDFRI gateway and IKEA Home smart app to control your wireless blinds in different ways. You can set them to go up and down with a timer, to adapt to the light or to gradually let more and more light in until your alarm goes off. You can even create several groups of wireless blinds all programmed the same way. Since TRÅDFRI gateway and IKEA Home smart app work with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant and Sonos, you can connect to our Home smart app for voice control. You’ll be talking to your blinds in no time.

A clean and elegant look with motorized blinds

Bedroom or living room, kitchen or office. These types of curtains fit in most rooms thanks to their modern and minimalist look. Since they’re motorized, there’s no risk of an uneven rollup from clumsy pulls. So, they’re always stylishly balanced when pulled down, while at the same time being discreet when rolled-up. In addition, the durable fabric looks nicer over time as there’s less handling. Choose a brighter option if you want enough light to see properly, but still want privacy from nosy neighbors. But if you want to immerse the room in total darkness, we recommend you go for electric blackout blinds instead.

Remote control blinds make your life easier

With the IKEA Home smart app, the power of control is literally in your hands; either via remote or through your phone. But of course, we understand if you’d rather talk to your blinds instead. Therefore, you can make connections to several popular voice controlled smart home devices via the app as well. Once everything is up and running, you can control your blinds as you wish, without having to move a single inch.Do you like to plan ahead and prefer automated functions? Do you know what times you prefer sunlight and when you want a complete black-out? If so, you’re going to love using the built-in timer function. Set it so that the curtains roll down in the bedroom when it's time to sleep. Set them to roll up in the living room when it's time to let the daylight in. This is a great way to get some extra help around the house, wouldn’t you say?
