Motorised Curtains Complete A Stylish Family Home

Blue Lagoon is the brand new, forever home of Kyal and Kara. They're the fabulous home style and renovation duo, who first appeared on The Block and whose home renovation projects have wowed us ever since. The couple chose motorised, designer curtains that create a soft and cosy vibe, are easy to control and child safe.

Kyal and Kara chose:

• Custom-made curtains by DIY Blinds, using lush designer fabrics from the Alexandra and Allusion ranges
• Motorisation using Somfy's Glydea ULTRA solution which can be controlled with a remote control or via smartphone using Connexoon Window RTS

A luxe and smart addition to the living and dining space

Floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains in the kitchen, living and dining space, bathe the room in filtered light. While Kara is spending time in her new kitchen, one click of her Somfy Situo remote control opens up the curtains so she can peek on the kids in the garden. The curtains move smoothly and quietly, adding to the sense of calm and relaxation in this space.

"We're a busy family, and motorisation makes things super easy! We love being able to control our curtains with the touch of a button." - Kara

Motorisation makes the parents' retreat cosy and versatile

In the master bedroom, the couple opted for a double motorised curtain track hung from their four-metre-high ceiling. Talk about statement curtains! Using their Situo remote, they can effortlessly close the blockout curtains to create a cosy, private space with fantastic insulation, then open them to let the beautiful sheers filter light in. Having both curtains motorised lets Kyal and Kara play with light, texture and privacy day and night.

"Having the curtains run from the ceiling all the way to the ground and pooling on that plush carpet, helps to create that hotel feel that we were after in this room." - Kara

So, what are the benefits of motorised curtains?

You can enjoy the benefits of motorisation just like Kyal and Kara:

• Simple, minimalist style: you don't see curtain wands or cords, as curtains can be controlled with a wireless remote, smartphone or voice control
• Child-safety: no need to worry about dangling cords
• Less wear and tear: there's simply no reason to touch your curtains, except to admire your beautiful fabric
• More time for what matters: with Connexoon Window RTS, just schedule your curtains to open and close according to your daily routine
• Accessibility: it's a great choice if you have accessibility needs, or for hard-to-reach windows
• Added security: using schedules on your Connexoon Window RTS will simulate presence in your home even when you're away!
