2025 Smart Blinds Pricing Guide: Costs, Options & Value

At Beasen, we believe smart home living isn’t just about showing off technology. It’s about creating real comfort, convenience, and beauty in your everyday space. Among the smartest upgrades you can make to your home is installing motorized shades. But one question we hear often from first-time buyers is: Why are smart blinds so expensive?

This complete guide will help you understand the real cost of smart blinds, what you’re paying for, and how to choose the best options based on your needs and budget.

Smart blinds, also known as motorized shades, are window coverings that can open and close automatically using a motor. Instead of pulling cords, you can control them with a remote, smartphone app, or even voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant.

Smart blinds allow you to schedule when your windows open and close, adjust for sun exposure, or operate remotely when you're not home. They're not just window treatments. They're part of a modern, connected lifestyle.

Smart blinds vary widely in price depending on several factors. When shopping for them, consider the following components that contribute to the total cost:

• Fabric type and light-filtering properties
• Type of motor and control system
• Window size and quantity
• Optional smart home integration
• Installation method

Understanding these elements will help you build a realistic budget and avoid unexpected expenses.

At Beasen, we offer thoughtfully designed smart shades at competitive prices without compromising on quality. Here are two of our most popular models:

Smart Motorized Roller Shades – 100% Blackout Essential: $179.99

Perfect for bedrooms or media rooms where total light control is key. These shades block all light, creating a peaceful sleep environment.

Smart Motorized Dual Zebra Shades – 60% Blackout, 95mm: $189.99

A stylish solution for living spaces and offices. Zebra shades alternate sheer and opaque bands, giving you flexible control over privacy and sunlight.

Prices include a standard motor with remote control. If you want to integrate with smart systems like Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, an upgraded motor is available.

The motor is the core of your smart blinds. It determines both the ease of use and the features available. At Beasen, we offer several motor options to suit your needs.

Standard Motor

This comes included with most Beasen blinds and supports remote control operation. It’s ideal for users who want automation without needing smart home integration.

Smart Integration Motor

For more advanced users, we offer Zigbee or Z-Wave motors. These allow you to connect your blinds to platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Samsung SmartThings. You can control your blinds with voice commands, automate them based on your routines, and create entire home scenes.

Motor type affects both price and functionality. The more advanced the motor, the more features you get. Even our base model provides a smooth and quiet operation for everyday comfort.

Not all smart blinds use the same materials. Fabric selection plays a big role in both performance and price.

Blackout fabrics are ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, and any room where you need total privacy or sleep support. These typically cost more due to their dense weave and specialized coatings.

Light-filtering or semi-sheer fabrics offer a softer look and allow some daylight through while reducing glare. These are best for living rooms, kitchens, and home offices where you want both light and privacy.

Beasen offers a wide range of fabric styles and textures to suit any interior aesthetic from minimalist white to elegant woven neutrals.

The number and size of your windows have the biggest impact on total cost. Larger windows require more fabric and longer rollers, increasing both material and motor strain.

Let’s look at a simple example:

• One smart shade costs around $180 to $200
• For five windows such as the living room, bedroom, office, guest room, and kitchen your estimated total is $900 to $1,000

If that feels overwhelming, you don’t need to upgrade your entire house at once. Many Beasen customers start with one room like a bedroom and expand over time.

You can either install your Beasen blinds yourself or hire a professional.

Professional installation typically costs about $50 per window. If your windows are large, hard to reach, or require precise fitting, hiring help might be a smart choice.

However, our customers often find our installation process beginner-friendly. With clear instructions and tutorial videos, most standard windows can be outfitted by homeowners using common tools. DIY installation is a great way to reduce overall costs.

Yes, smart blinds can actually help reduce utility bills and improve long-term efficiency.

When scheduled properly, smart blinds reduce solar heat gain in the summer and retain warmth in the winter. This lowers the burden on your HVAC system. They also help prevent UV damage to furniture, artwork, and flooring.

And with remote or scheduled control, you can automate your daily routine like opening blinds in the morning and closing them at sunset without lifting a finger.

Before you invest in smart blinds, here are a few tips to help you make the best decision:

1. Start with priority rooms such as the master bedroom or living room

2. Decide on your control system such as standard remote or full smart integration

3. Measure accurately to ensure a perfect fit

4. Compare fabric options to find the right balance between light and privacy

5. Consider your long-term needs not just immediate cost
