What type of shading is right for your windows? That depends on how each room is used and how much sun it receives. We partner with Screen Innovations, whose award-winning shades are designed to complement luxury spaces. Their elegant roller shades are available in varying opacities, so you can customize privacy levels without disrupting your view. Whether you want to reduce glare in the home office, shield your patio from excess heat, or create the perfect movie night ambiance, Screen Innovations offers a solution.

The Campo Better Living team plans each installation around your unique window shape and programs your shades to follow your daily routine. You work with one local partner from the first measurement to the final walkthrough.

Window Treatments That Work Around Your Day

Louisiana homeowners choose motorized window treatments for good reason. Frequent sunshine is fantastic until it fades the furniture, heats the house, and causes excess glare on every screen. Smart blinds and shades put sunlight on a schedule, so your home stays comfortable without anyone reaching for a cord.

Privacy

Close every shade in the house with one tap, or let them lower on their own at dusk. When you head out for the evening or leave town for a week, your home looks lived-in, and your interior stays out of view.

UV Protection

Daily sunlight fades hardwood floors and upholstery faster than most people expect. Scheduled shading limits exposure during peak hours, which helps protect heirloom furniture and art collections for years to come. You keep enjoying the view while your investment holds its color.

Light Control

Afternoon glare can wash out a TV and make a home office hard to work in. Your shades can lower as the sun moves across the house, cutting glare and heat before they build up. Cooler rooms also ease the load on your AC during long, humid summers.

Smart Blinds and Lighting That Work Together

What if your shades and lights knew what you were about to do? When your shades and lighting are part of one system, a single command sets the whole room. Movie Night lowers the shades, switches off the ceiling lights, and dims the path lights to a soft glow. Morning raises the shades and adjusts the lights to mirror the sunrise, gently easing you awake.

These scenes can also run on their own according to schedules or daylight sensors. Automatic blinds and lighting control systems balance natural light with electric illumination throughout the day, so rooms stay bright without feeling harsh. As clouds roll in or evening arrives, your home adjusts and you stay focused on the people in the room.

We integrate shading and lighting into your smart home platform, so you manage everything from one place. Tap a keypad by the door, open the app on your phone, or speak a voice command to craft your ideal atmosphere.

Shade Integration for New Builds and Existing Homes

We integrate motorized shading into whole-home projects throughout the New Orleans area. Some are new builds where we plan wiring before the drywall goes up. Others are historic shotgun homes and Creole cottages, where tall windows and high ceilings make reaching a cord a daily chore.

We also serve Covington and Mandeville, where lake-facing homes often have large windows and wide-open views. There, scheduled shading cuts afternoon glare while keeping the view you love. Whatever stage your project is in, we can design the right shading system for it.

Shade Styles

Roller shades offer a clean, tailored look. Cellular shades trap air in honeycomb pockets for added insulation. Roman shades fold into soft layers, while sheer shades filter daylight into a gentle glow.

Opacity Options

Blackout fabrics block nearly all light, which makes them ideal for bedrooms and media rooms. Room-darkening fabrics dim a space without full darkness. Light-filtering options soften glare while keeping rooms bright. For Louisiana home shade solutions that stand up to summer heat, solar screens are a popular pick because they cut heat and UV while preserving your view.

Power Options

Hardwired shades run on your home's electrical system and work best when planned before walls are closed. Battery and rechargeable options don’t require new wiring, which makes them a smart fit for older homes with plaster walls. Learn more about our retrofit services.

Control Options

Operate your shades with a handheld remote or a wall keypad. You can also use an app or a voice assistant, or set schedules tied to sunrise and sunset. Many homeowners opt for some combination of these solutions, setting daily schedules while maintaining one-tap control for specific events.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do motorized shades cost for a New Orleans home?

The cost of motorized shades depends on your home and the choices you make. Window count and size play the biggest role. Shade style and fabric matter too, along with whether you choose hardwired or battery power. A consultation gives you a clear quote for your specific windows.

Can motorized blinds be installed in an older New Orleans home without tearing into the walls?

Yes, in most cases. Battery-powered and rechargeable motorized blinds don’t need new wiring, so they install without opening up plaster walls. That makes them a practical choice for historic New Orleans homes where you want to keep original walls and trim intact.

Do exterior motorized shades need approval in New Orleans historic districts?

Interior shades mounted inside your windows typically don't require approval. Exterior shades are different, since changes to a home's exterior in a historic district may need review by the Historic District Landmarks Commission before installation.

What are the best window treatments for blocking Louisiana heat and UV rays?

Solar screens and cellular shades are strong choices, and blackout fabrics work well in bedrooms. Automation makes any of them more effective, because scheduled shades close before the afternoon sun has a chance to heat the room.

How do smart blinds work with a lighting control system?

Picture pressing a Movie button: your smart blinds lower and the lights dim to a set level at the same time. Both systems share one control platform, so you can trigger them together from a keypad or let them follow a daily schedule.

Can I control my motorized shades with my phone or a voice assistant?

Yes. You can control motorized shades with a phone app, a voice assistant, a wall keypad, or a handheld remote. Many homeowners also set schedules so their shades adjust automatically throughout the day.

When should motorized shades be planned during a renovation or new build?

Plan motorized shades early, ideally before drywall goes up, if you want hardwired shades. That gives your installer time to run power to each window. If your rooms are already finished, battery and rechargeable options let you add motorized shades without opening walls.
