Choosing the Right Motorisation System for Your Home
Not every home needs the same motorisation setup. The right system depends on your power options, the smart home ecosystem you already use, and whether you’re motorising blinds, curtains, or both. Here’s what to consider before you choose.
Power Options: Hardwired, Battery & Solar
Hardwired systems suit new builds or renovations where power can be run to each window, offering the most reliable, maintenance-free operation long term. Battery-powered motors are the easiest retrofit option for existing homes, with no rewiring required and batteries typically lasting well over a year between charges. Solar-powered motors are a great fit for north-facing windows with good sun exposure, keeping batteries topped up without any manual charging at all.
Control Ecosystems: Somfy, Google Home, Alexa & Apple HomeKit
Somfy’s TaHoma system is our recommended premium option, built specifically for window furnishings with reliable, whisper-quiet performance and professional setup included. If you’ve already invested in a smart home ecosystem, many motorisation systems, including Somfy, integrate with Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit, so your blinds and curtains can work alongside the smart home setup you already have. Worth discussing your existing ecosystem with us during your consultation so we can recommend the right fit.
Blinds vs Curtains: What’s Different About Motorising Each
Motorising blinds and curtains isn’t quite the same job. Blinds typically use a compact tube motor housed inside the roll itself, making for a clean, discreet finish. Curtains rely on a different approach, either a motorised track system or a wand-driven rail, since the fabric needs to travel smoothly along the full width of the window. If you’re planning to motorise both in the same home, it’s worth having both discussed together so your control systems work side by side seamlessly.

Motorised blinds refers to the product itself, blinds fitted with a motor for automated operation.

In some cases, existing curtains can be retrofitted with a motorised track system, though this depends on the curtain style and current hardware. In many cases, motorisation works best when planned alongside new curtains, so the fabric, heading style and motor are all matched from the outset.
