At Bekins, we've helped homeowners throughout West Michigan design smart homes for decades. One thing we've learned from working with customers is that the best technology isn't always the one with the longest feature list, it's the one that's the right fit for your home.
In this edition of our Love It or Leave It series, we look at one of our favorite luxury smart home products: Lutron Palladiom shades.
Love It: Beautiful Design That Lets You Enjoy More of Your View
One of the first things our customers notice about Lutron Palladiom shades is what they don't notice.
Unlike traditional automated shades that are hidden behind bulky valances or cassettes, Palladiom shades are intentionally designed to be seen. Their handcrafted hardware becomes part of the room's design while maintaining a remarkably clean appearance.
We've also found that homeowners consistently appreciate how Palladiom preserves more of their window view. Since the shade is designed to be installed in the open, it's an excellent choice for homes with large windows, expansive glass, or beautiful outdoor scenery where every inch of the view matters.
Another advantage is flexibility during installation. While Palladiom can be hardwired, it can also be powered by batteries when wiring isn't practical. If your home is already finished and the drywall is up, battery-powered shades can make adding luxury smart shading much easier without opening walls.
On top of that, you'll enjoy whisper-quiet performance and convenient control from the Lutron App, Lutron keypads, or a Pico remote, all with the touch of a button.
Leave It: Make Sure It Works with Your Smart Home
Lutron Palladiom integrates with many of today's most popular home automation and home control systems, but not every system.
If you already have a smart home platform in place or you're planning one for a new build, compatibility is worth considering before making your investment.
That's where our team comes in. At Bekins, we'll help you determine whether Palladiom is the best fit for your existing technology or recommend another solution that integrates seamlessly with your home.
