The holiday season has officially begun, and if you live in Hudson County, you know what that means—traffic on Washington Street, guests dropping by last-minute, and to-do lists that never seem to end. Between cooking, decorating, shopping, and keeping your space presentable, “simplify” might be your new favorite word.
That’s where Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation comes in. Think of it as the holiday helper you didn’t know you needed.
At Shade Place by Stephan in Hoboken, we’ve seen how motorized window treatments transform both the functionality and feeling of a home—especially during the busiest months of the year.
Set the Mood with a Tap
Imagine this: you’re hosting a holiday dinner. Guests are arriving, the lights are dimmed, candles flickering, and with a quick tap on your phone, your Hunter Douglas shades glide down in perfect sync, creating that cozy, intimate atmosphere that makes the night feel special.
That’s the magic of PowerView® Automation—it gives you full control of your lighting and privacy with ease. Using the app, the sleek Pebble® remote, or even your voice through Alexa or Google Assistant, you can control your shades from anywhere. Whether you’re in your kitchen prepping dessert or still wrapping gifts in the bedroom, your windows can adjust automatically to the moment.
Smart Homes, Smarter Holidays
If your home already uses smart devices, PowerView® integrates seamlessly with most home automation systems. That means you can create “Scenes” that adjust your shades throughout the day. For instance, you can set them to open each morning for natural light and close automatically in the evening for privacy.
In Hoboken brownstones and Jersey City condos, where large windows capture incredible city light, automation helps balance brightness while protecting your furniture and floors from harsh UV rays. It’s not just smart—it’s sophisticated.
A Gift That Keeps Giving
While everyone else is battling mall traffic, you’ll be enjoying the convenience of technology that works around you. Motorized shades don’t just make daily living easier—they also help reduce energy costs. As temperatures drop, PowerView® can be programmed to lower your Duette® Honeycomb Shades in the evening, locking in warmth and keeping your space energy-efficient.
It’s thoughtful, modern, and—dare we say—one of the best gifts you can give yourself (or your home).
Designed for Hudson County Living
Homes in Hudson County often feature beautiful but challenging window layouts: tall bay windows, loft-height glass, or hard-to-reach skylights. Motorized shades make managing these spaces effortless. They add sleekness, control, and modern comfort without cluttering your design.
At Shade Place by Stephan, our team handles the full process—from selection and measurement to setup and programming—so you can relax and enjoy the season.
Make This Holiday Effortless
Between guests, gatherings, and everything in between, small luxuries make a big difference. With Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, your home runs smoother, your evenings feel calmer, and your space looks ready for any celebration.
