Are you choosing window decoration? Then we would advise to go for electric. Somfy is the best brand to support you with this, no matter what type of window decoration you choose.
With electric window decoration, you can control your window decoration remotely. Do you prefer to walk into a sunlit house or would you rather keep the sun out? You can easily operate your window decoration from anywhere, it is ideal for hard-to-reach places.
If you are bothered by the reflection of sunlight on your TV, but would prefer not to block out all the light, then simply vary the position of your aluminium or wooden window decoration. The motor does the heavy work for you, so you can easily experiment to discover the preferred position of your window decoration.
You can very easily programme electric window decoration to adhere to certain scenarios or timers. The atmosphere in your home can be fully automated according to your living rhythm or wishes.
When you are away from home, it feels safe to simulate some presence in the house. Having customised electric window blinds open and close daily makes it look from outside as if you are still at home, allowing you to leave home feeling safer

To give you an impression of the many possibilities of (electrical) window decoration, we have listed some ideas for you, so you can get inspiration on window decoration for different rooms.
In your living room, you have many different possibilities for your window decoration. Horizontal venetian blinds give you the most freedom when it comes to playing with light. As the slats can be tilted, you can always control exactly how much sunlight enters your home. You can also vary how far you lower the blinds.
If you prefer a rustic look, roman blinds are the perfect type of window decoration for you. Roman blinds add a traditional touch to your interior and create a warm, romantic atmosphere. The pleats in the curtains fold away neatly when you pull them up.
Would you like window decoration that is not so noticeable? Then roller blinds are the ideal solution for you. The neutral design of roller blinds blends into any interior. The design is versatile and you can vary the fabric: the options for colours and light transmission are endless. To complete your living room, you can also combine all of the above window decoration with 'regular' curtains. They give your living room a warm look, just like roman blinds, and add extra atmosphere when combined with blinds.
The window decoration for your bedroom can be adapted entirely to your own needs and style. Many people tend to choose a blackout fabric to enjoy their night's sleep in complete darkness. The darker your bedroom, the better you will sleep. Fortunately, almost all types of window decoration can be made of blackout fabric.
For example, cellular blinds have a particularly good blackout effect. All Somfy cellular blinds are double (honeycomb) instead of single. This prevents unwanted light from entering through the small cord holes. Moreover, the honeycomb cell structure of cellular blinds helps block heat or cold from outside. The thermal barrier has an insulating effect, so your bedroom is always perfectly warm.
Roller blinds are a stylish, timeless window decoration guaranteed to fit your bedroom interior. As roller blinds can be fitted tightly against the window, light gaps are avoided. This way you can achieve almost complete darkness so at all times, you can have a good night’s sleep.
Do you prefer a warm, romantic atmosphere in your bedroom? Then go for roman blinds or plain curtains, optionally made of blackout fabric. The look of these types of window decoration is classic and rustic. You can also easily combine plain curtains with window decoration that sits more tightly against the window, such as roller blinds. This way you can create good blackout with the roller blinds, while adding extra atmosphere to the bedroom with the curtains. Perfect for the bedroom vibe!
In your bathroom, the need for privacy is obviously at the top of the list of requirements that window coverings should meet. Therefore, window coverings that limit the view are the best choice. For example, you can opt for translucent roller blinds. Translucent fabric limits the view and ensures your privacy, yet at the same time allows in sufficient daylight so you don't have to shower in the dark. Roller blinds have a timeless look and therefore fit well in any type of bathroom. Note: transparent fabric is not the same as translucent fabric. So choose translucent fabric for your bathroom to ensure your privacy.
If you have a very humid bathroom, blinds made of PVC or aluminium are a good alternative. These materials are waterproof, so they will not be damaged by the inevitably high humidity in your bathroom. Closed blinds also ensure your privacy, so you can step into the shower with peace of mind.
Cellular blinds are also moisture-resistant, limit the view and are easy to clean. In addition, cellular blinds have an insulating effect, so you won't be bothered by cold air blowing off the window in winter, for example.
In your kitchen, it is important that your window decoration is resistant to moisture, grease and dirt. After all, the cooking in your kitchen involves airborne fumes, which are deposited on the window decoration. That is why blinds made of PVC or aluminium are a wise choice: these materials are water-resistant and can withstand grease and dirt. Moreover, blinds are easy to clean with a damp cloth. Additionally, this type of window decoration also provides the necessary privacy in your kitchen, for instance when it is dark outside at night. Blinds have a sleek and contemporary look.
Cellular blinds are also a stylish choice for the kitchen. The material of our honeycomb cellular blinds is moisture-resistant and easy to clean. In addition, the honeycomb cell structure acts as an insulator and heat-reflector, so it never gets too hot in your kitchen when the sun is full on.
If you prefer to give your kitchen a country feel, roman blinds are ideal. This window decoration adds a touch of romance to your kitchen and has an elegant way of opening: the pleats are neatly folded away when you lift the curtains. Roman blinds are ideal for your kitchen because they are easy to clean, they can even be washed.
