What motorisation changes
The blind stays beautifully simple. The way you use it gets easier.
Motorisation replaces the everyday pull, chain or repeated manual adjustment with powered movement. A blind can be operated individually, grouped with others or — with compatible controls — connected into a wider smart-home routine.
That is especially useful across larger glazing, multiple blinds, high or difficult-to-reach windows, bedrooms, media rooms and new-build projects where wiring or smart-home infrastructure can be considered early.

Explore smart motorised blindsSomfy Certified Expert
Motorisation is only as good as the specification, installation and setup behind it.
Somfy UK directs customers to local Somfy Experts for measurement, advice and installation of electric blinds. As a Somfy Certified Expert, Village Blinds and Shutters can specify the blind, motor and control method as one complete project rather than treating automation as an add-on at the end.
Measure & specify
Window size, blind type, weight, use pattern and power route are considered before the motor is selected.
Install & commission
The system is fitted, paired and tested rather than leaving the customer to work out setup after installation.
Choose the right control level
A straightforward remote may be all you need; compatible projects can add grouped control, TaHoma and automation.
Build for the room, not the gadget
The blind must still look right, control the light correctly and suit the window before smart features add value.
How do you want to control them?
Start simple. Add intelligence only where it earns its place.
Somfy offers multiple control routes for compatible electric blinds. The right setup can be as simple as one remote or extend to centralised app control and automated scenes.
01
Remote control
Raise, lower or position an individual blind without walking to the window.
02
Grouped control
Operate several compatible blinds together — particularly useful in open-plan rooms and large glazed areas.
03
App control
With compatible Somfy equipment and TaHoma, control connected blinds locally or remotely from the app.
04
Scenes & automation
Compatible systems can use routines, timers, sensors and selected voice integrations to automate repeat actions.
Power options
Battery for simplicity. Wired when the project makes it worthwhile.
The correct power route depends on blind type, dimensions, motor, window access and whether the room is already finished or still at design stage.
Available power and control combinations vary by blind type and motor. We confirm the suitable specification before quotation.
Real applications
Motorisation earns its keep on the windows you use most — and the ones you can barely reach.
These examples show different projects and blind types rather than repeating one installation throughout the page.
See the movement
Quiet movement makes more sense when you see the whole window change.
Watch a real motorised installation and then use the page above to compare the level of control you actually need.
✓Operate individual or grouped compatible blinds without chains or repeated manual adjustment.
✓Useful across larger windows, multiple blinds and hard-to-reach glazing.
✓Smart features are optional — a well-specified remote-controlled blind is still a complete solution.

Motorised blinds FAQ
Before you book.
Answers about battery power, smart controls, TaHoma, blind types and what happens if the technology is more than you need.
What types of blinds can be motorised?
Motorisation is available across several blind categories, including roller, Day & Night, cellular, Roman and selected specialist or shaped applications. Suitability depends on the blind system, size and window configuration.
Do motorised blinds need to be wired into the mains?
Not always. Rechargeable battery-powered motors are available for many compatible interior blinds, while wired systems can be a strong option for new builds, renovations and larger projects. We confirm the appropriate power route for the selected blind.
Can I control motorised blinds from my phone?
Yes, on compatible Somfy systems when the required connected-control equipment is included. TaHoma can centralise compatible equipment and allow control through the TaHoma app, including remote control away from home.
Can motorised blinds work with voice assistants?
Selected Somfy smart-home configurations support voice control through compatible integrations. Availability depends on the motor, control protocol and connected equipment, so we confirm compatibility before specifying the system.
What is a Somfy Certified Expert?
Somfy operates an Expert network for measurement, advice and installation of electric blinds. Village Blinds and Shutters' Somfy Certified Expert status reflects our specialist focus on specifying, installing and setting up compatible Somfy motorisation rather than supplying a motor without the wider blind and installation expertise.
Do I need a smart-home hub?
No. Many customers simply want effortless remote control. A hub such as TaHoma is only necessary when you want compatible app control, remote access, scenes or a wider connected-home setup.
Can several blinds move together?
Yes, compatible blinds can be grouped so several windows can be operated together. This is particularly useful in open-plan spaces and rooms with multiple large blinds.
Are motorised blinds useful for high windows?
Yes. Hard-to-reach glazing is one of the clearest reasons to motorise a blind because routine operation no longer depends on physically reaching the control point.
Are motorised blinds child-safe?
Motorisation can remove the need for conventional operating chains on the selected blind system, helping create a cleaner control arrangement. The exact child-safety features depend on the blind and installation.
What happens at the free home appointment?
We look at the room and windows, compare suitable blind types and fabrics, discuss the level of control you want, consider battery or wired power, professionally measure the windows and provide a quotation for the agreed specification.
