When it comes to upgrading your home’s comfort and style, a motorised blinds installation offers the perfect balance of convenience, elegance, and cutting-edge technology. At OTRT Designs, we recently completed the first stage of a bespoke project for a valued client. By working in carefully planned phases, we were able to accommodate their busy schedule while delivering exceptional results—starting with the most important space: the bedroom.
Stage One: Transforming the Bedroom with Motorised Blinds
The first stage of this motorised blinds installation involved pairing Somfy Sonesse RTS system roller blinds with beautifully tailored Roman blinds. This two-layer solution offers both privacy and light control, allowing the client to enjoy filtered daylight with the sheer roller blinds while using the Roman blinds for full coverage when needed.
The sheer roller blind fabric was carefully chosen to harmonise with the bedroom’s existing colour palette, perfectly complementing the Roman blind fabric. This attention to detail ensured a cohesive and elegant look, transforming the bedroom into a comfortable and stylish retreat.
To finish the installation, we added made-to-measure pelmets. These provide a polished appearance by concealing the blind mechanisms, while also adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design.
Quiet, Effortless Operation
A key benefit of this motorised blinds installation is the whisper-quiet performance of the Somfy Sonesse RTS system. Designed for smooth and near-silent operation, the blinds can be controlled in multiple ways:
- Wall switch for quick and convenient access
- Remote control for adjusting from anywhere in the room
- Smartphone app via the Somfy TaHoma hub, allowing remote operation, scheduling, and integration into a complete smart home system
This flexibility means the blinds can be operated even when the homeowner is away, adding an extra layer of convenience and security.
Smart Living with Somfy TaHoma
Through the Somfy TaHoma hub, the blinds become part of a connected living environment. This system allows the homeowner to set automated routines—such as opening the blinds in the morning to let in natural light, or closing them in the evening for privacy—all without lifting a finger.
This level of integration is one of the key reasons our clients choose a professional motorised blinds installation. It’s not just about window coverings; it’s about enhancing your lifestyle.
What’s Next: Stage Two
This project isn’t complete just yet. The next phase will bring the same level of luxury and convenience to another room. We’ll be adding more Roman blinds, roller blinds, curtains, and a motorised curtain track.
All of these motorised products will be compatible with the same Somfy Sonesse RTS system, ensuring seamless control via the same wall switch, remote, or smartphone app. The result will be a fully integrated, whole-home shading solution—ideal for modern living.
