Equal Housing LenderMotorized Window Treatments and Home Automation
Motorized window treatments are the television remote control of the 21st century. The convenience and ease of use can’t be overstated! More than a third of homeowners are opting for smart window coverings for good reason. They’re the same as any other window covering, but controlled by a motor to open, close, and even tilt slats. They also can raise the value of your home!
If you’re interested in motorized shades, blinds, draperies, or awnings, schedule a free design consultation with us!
Our Design Consultants will bring sample materials to your home so you can see, feel, and trust in the results of your custom-designed window treatments. We know what we do helps improve lives, and we take great pride in bringing smiles to our clients’ faces. Seeing someone operate their motorized window covering the first time and beaming with glee and excitement is such a reward for our team!
Simplified Living with Smart Shades, Blinds, & Draperies
Remember when you had to get up from the sofa to change the TV channel? Or get out of your car to open your garage door? Once you’ve experienced the ease-of-use of motorized window coverings or awnings, there’s no going back. You’d never want to!
Along with many convenient control options, there are also multiple ways you can use technology to make your motorized window coverings even better.
Group Window Coverings Together
With our app, you can create groups of multiple shades easily. That way rather than opening each of your living room shades individually, you can simply control “Living Room Shades” and open or close all of them at once. Simple!
Create Automated Schedules & Save Money
Another great option is to set individual window treatments or grouped items together and program them on a schedule. This way, you can wake up to gentle sunlight instead of a blaring alarm (or wake up your teenagers with sun on their faces). You can also program a time to have window coverings close before the sun hits the windows directly. This prevents heat gain through your windows from warming your home and making your air conditioner work harder. Lower energy bills results in saved money!
How to Control Your Motorized Shades, Blinds, or Drapes
Instead of pulling a chain, cord, or using your hand to lift or lower a window covering, you can simply press a button on a remote control.
We also offer motorized wand controls, wall switches, smartphone or tablet apps, integration with existing SmartHome systems, IFTTT technology, radio frequency operation, and even voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Home.
This is a perfect solution for families with small children for whom cords pose a strangulation threat, as well as pet owners. It’s also an ideal solution for anyone with accessibility concerns, or high or hard-to-reach windows.
Motorized Retractable Awnings
Along with window treatments, we also offer motorized retractable awnings! In Los Angeles, awnings provide incredible amounts of shade for our outdoor seating areas. They also offer significant UV protection which not only protects our skin, but also our patio or deck furniture.
Awnings provide shade that can be up to 20 degrees cooler than the surrounding area. When motorized, you can set your awning to open on a timer when you’re on your way home from work. That way, your patio will be cooled by the time you’ve arrived home. Now you can head straight outside with a cool glass of tea (or wine) to relax without worrying about your seating being too hot for comfort.
Like shades, awnings also can be programmed to shade large windows or glass doors to prevent sun from entering your home and heating it up. If you have motorized window treatments inside your home, your awning can be programmed to function on the same remote or app as well. So easy!

Wonder what other people think about Galaxy Draperies?
"Great experience end to end with Galaxy. From the initial consult to the end product, communication was clear and everyone I interacted with was lovely. Highly recommended this company!"
"From scheduling our appointment to meeting with our designer, Bernadette, and the installer, Alfredo, we were met with professionalism and comforted in knowing we were dealing with people who knew what they were doing. Arrival times were well within the two-hour window. Bernadette shared her knowledge and expertise to help us choose the window treatments that best fit our needs and budget. We are so pleased with the final result and look forward to covering the rest of the window in our home."
"It was such an easy process from start to finish. I gave my vision and they gave me a few options to choose from. Easy to schedule. John our installer was so pleasant. Install was quick and easy. Motorized shades are my new favorite thing. Will definitely use Galaxy Draperies again."
"My wife and I recently moved and were in the market for new shades for our bathroom , living room and kitchen . We didn't really have a set vision so it was unbelievable when our designer Karen went through all the possibilities and showed us what would work well with the setup . Karen was not only very professional , she was personable and super knowledgeable about the products. I wish I could have her design the rest of our house ! Great product , great designer, great experience!"
"I had a great experience with Galaxy. The designer presented me with several options and was very helpful in designing my window treatments. The installers were very professional, courteous, and careful! I will definitely use them in the future!"
"I would like to say that Galaxy Draperies was the best choice we've made. We recently purchased a new home and wanted to thank Bernadette for the amazing service she provided. I was referred to her by my sister, which also happened to purchase through you guys. Not only did Bernadette make me feel comfortable but it felt like I was working with family."
"Ordered Roman Shades for five windows. Designer who came to our home was nice and professional, Roman Shades arrived on time, the installation was handled by their installer who called and asked if he could come by earlier than our appointment, which was great. He was friendly, professional and did a great job! Highly recommend this company."
"Galaxy Draperies was very professional, timely and responsive to the issue we had with one of the new shades. From their design team to the installation, everyone was very nice, informative and helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing new window coverings."
"I just used Galaxy Draperies. I had a very heavy window covering which was mostly impossible to use. We looked at options and Galaxy Draperies suggested we use a motorized window covering. The material is beautiful and it's made so well. You can't see through from outside in yet you can see outside from inside the house. It works so quietly and solved all my problems. The wonderful lady who came to our house was great and always returned calls and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend them."
"Everything about the experience was terrific - from the sales person, the measure to the installer. They made it easy, gave me several price points and advised me throughout the process. I love my blinds!"
