Motorized Window Shades & Automated Blinds in Boston
At Elite Media Solutions, we design beautiful shading solutions that combine form and function—tailored window treatments that bridge architectural beauty with effortless usability.
The Advantages of Motorized Shades
In a truly modern home, technology should make every day easier. Motorized shading eliminates the manual chore of adjusting hard-to-reach windows, replacing tangled cords with silent, precision-engineered movement.
-
One-Touch Mastery: Command a single window or an entire floor via elegant wall keypads, mobile apps, or natural voice commands through Josh.ai.

Preserve Your Interior: Protect priceless art, hardwood floors, and delicate upholstery from the harsh UV degradation that occurs during peak sunlight hours.
-
Minimalist Aesthetic: By removing manual wands and cords, your windows achieve a cleaner, more contemporary look that complements high-end interior design.

Silent Performance: Utilizing ultra-quiet motor technology, our systems operate with a whisper-soft transition that never interrupts the sanctuary of your home.
Privacy, Light Control, and Energy Efficiency
Living in the Wellesley area requires a home that can pivot between the humid intensity of a New England summer and the biting chill of winter. Automated shades are a dynamic solution that adjust their movement based on the seasons.
During the summer months, shades can automatically deploy to deflect heat gain, reducing the load on your HVAC system. Conversely, in the winter, the system can utilize an astronomical clock to open shades during the day and harvest passive solar heat. Later, shades close at dusk to trap warmth inside.
For those in denser residential areas, we design privacy scenes that allow natural light to enter through opaque shades while obscuring the view from the street level. This guarantees your inner spaces remain entirely yours.
Whole-Home Shading Automation System
Elite Media Solutions synchronizes all the shades in your Boston home. Whether you are retrofitting a single media room or outfitting a sprawling new estate, we program your system so that every shade moves in perfect alignment. Imagine a “Good Morning” scene where your shades gradually rise at 7:00 AM to wake you with natural light, or a “Good Night” mode where all shades close with a single tap.
If you prefer voice commands, we can integrate the shading system with Josh.ai, so you never have to look for a remote. Simply saying, “Josh, I’m home,” can trigger a welcoming sequence where the entry lights illuminate and the shades rise to your preferred height. Because Josh.ai understands natural language and context, you can even say, “Josh, it’s too bright in here,” and the system will intelligently lower the shades in that specific room.
Seamless Integration With Lighting Control and Smart Home Systems
Smart shades should never be standalone technology. Instead, they function best as a core pillar of your home’s lighting design. By bridging the gap between natural sunlight and architectural LED fixtures, we create a unified environment that supports your well-being and simplifies your daily routines.
-
The Harmony of Human-Centric Lighting: By integrating your shades with a lighting control system, your home can maintain the perfect color temperature throughout the day. As your shades adjust based on the sun’s position, your interior Lutron or Ketra lights automatically shift their vibrancy and brightness to match, supporting your natural circadian rhythms.
-
Simplicity Through Unified Scenes: We replace cluttered walls of switches with elegant, custom-engraved keypads. A single “Movie” button can be programmed to dim the overhead lights, activate floor lamps, and lower blackout shades simultaneously. An “Away” mode ensures your shades and lights adjust according to your schedule, giving the home a lived-in appearance.
-
Audio-Visual Cooperation: For media rooms and home theaters, shading integration is essential. We program your system so that when the projector or TV is powered on, the shades immediately deploy to eliminate glare, guaranteeing that your viewing experience is never compromised by shifting sunlight.
Motorized Window Shades for Renovations and New Construction
For 35 years, Elite Media Solutions has been a trusted partner for architects and luxury builders. We know that the most successful shading projects begin during the framing stage. When you partner with our team early, we can design recessed pockets that allow the shades to completely disappear into the ceiling when not in use.
For historic renovations in Wellesley and the surrounding areas, we offer battery-powered retrofits. We understand the value of original crown molding and plasterwork. Our team uses advanced wire-free technology to provide modern convenience without compromising the architectural soul of a historic property.
Outdoor and Patio Shade Solutions
Luxury living in New England doesn’t stop at the back door. Our outdoor motorized shades allow you to reclaim your patio or pergola from the elements. Designed with heavy-duty tracks and weather-resistant fabrics, these systems provide a shield against insects and the afternoon sun.
To protect your investment, we integrate wind sensors that automatically retract the shades during sudden coastal storms, ensuring durability through every season.
