Life is busy. From juggling work and family to trying to find time to relax, the last thing anyone wants is to run around the house adjusting blinds all day. That’s where automated blinds come in — a simple change that brings real comfort, convenience and control into your home.
At Shutter Envy, we believe that smart home living shouldn’t just be about flashy tech. It should make your daily life easier. Our motorised blinds do just that — and they work beautifully with your lifestyle, your home and your favourite smart devices.
Hands-Free Living at Its Best
Whether you want to let in the morning light gently or shut the world out for a cosy evening, automated blinds do it for you. With sunrise and sunset programming, your blinds open and close based on the natural rhythm of the day. No more jumping out of bed to pull the blinds up, or walking room to room every evening — it just happens.
This isn’t about showing off. It’s about making your home work for you. Wake up with natural light, reduce energy costs by keeping the heat in or out, and make your home feel more secure when you’re away.
Seamless Integration with Top Smart Home Brands
Our motorised blind systems work with leading smart home ecosystems — meaning you’re in control, your way.
-
Amazon Alexa & Google Home
Use your voice to open or close blinds. It’s as easy as saying ‘Alexa, close the bedroom blinds’.
-
Apple HomeKit
For Apple users, integration is smooth and secure. Control your blinds directly from your iPhone or iPad, or automate them with other smart features in your home.
-
Philips Hue
Want your blinds to close as your smart lights dim? Create a full ambience with blinds and lighting working together.
-
Velux, Somfy, Hitachi, Sonos, Zigbee, Danfoss
Our systems are compatible with a wide range of smart home brands. Whether it’s temperature control, home audio or heating, your blinds can be part of the bigger picture.
With these systems, you can also set ‘scenes’. Imagine a ‘Goodnight’ scene that turns off your lights, locks your door, and shuts all your blinds in one tap. Or a ‘Movie Time’ scene that closes the blinds and dims the lights as you settle in.
Simple to Install. Easy to Use.
Many people imagine that smart blinds must be hard to fit — but that’s not the case. Most of our motorised options run on rechargeable batteries that last six months or more on a single charge. You don’t need an electrician or wiring — just a USB charger and you’re good to go.
This makes them perfect for renters or anyone who wants a clean, easy upgrade without hassle or extra cost. The blinds look neat and modern, with all motors and wires tucked away. You get style, performance and simplicity in one.
Better for You. Better for Your Home.
Motorised blinds don’t just look great — they’re practical too:
Energy Efficient: Program your blinds to close during the hottest part of the day to keep your rooms cooler, or open in winter to let sunlight warm your home.
Improved Security: Going away? Set your blinds to move on a schedule to give the impression that someone’s home.
Child and Pet Safe: No cords or chains mean no risk of tangles or accidents. A big win for family homes.
Hard-to-Reach Windows: High-up skylights or large patio doors? No problem. Let automation do the work.
Designed Around Your Life
One of the best parts of smart blinds is that they adjust around you — not the other way round. Whether you prefer using your phone, remote control, or simple voice commands, your blinds are always just a tap or word away.
If you’re into home routines, create a schedule that matches your day — open blinds in the kitchen at breakfast, lower them in the lounge for an afternoon film, and shut the bedroom blinds at bedtime. All without lifting a finger.
And with systems like Somfy RTS, Zigbee, and Danfoss smart hubs, there’s the option to link everything up. Your blinds can work together with your heating, lighting and even music system, thanks to platforms like Sonos.
