Motorised Day & Night Blinds · Northern Ireland
Light and privacy, precisely where you want them.
Motorised Day & Night blinds — also known as Aura blinds — combine alternating sheer and opaque fabric bands with effortless electric control. Adjust the atmosphere, soften glare or increase privacy without touching a chain.

One blind. More control.
How Day & Night blinds work.
Two layers of striped fabric move past one another. When the sheer sections overlap, more natural light and outward view are available. Move the fabric slightly and the opaque sections overlap to increase privacy and soften the room.
Motorisation makes those small adjustments much easier to repeat, particularly across several blinds or wide areas of glazing.
- Sheer daytime view
- Filtered light
- Increased privacy
- Raised clear-view position
Change the atmosphere
From bright and open to more private in seconds.
The strength of this blind is not simply opening and closing it. The alternating fabric bands let you make smaller changes throughout the day.
Privacy mode
Shift the opaque bands into position when you want less visibility through the window and a calmer, more enclosed feel.
Designed for modern rooms
Why motorised Day & Night blinds work so well.
01
Fine light adjustment
Move the bands in small increments rather than choosing only fully open or fully closed.
02
Cleaner appearance
Motorisation removes the operating chain and keeps the fascia, fabric and window lines visually simple.
03
Better across multiple blinds
Compatible controls can operate several blinds together — useful on large windows and open-plan glazing.
04
Repeatable favourite positions
Compatible Somfy controls can recall a preferred blind position, helping you quickly return to the light level you use most.
Large glazing & new builds
Particularly effective across wide windows.
Day & Night blinds suit contemporary rooms with large glazed areas because the repeated horizontal bands create a strong architectural finish without the visual weight of a heavier window treatment.
Where several blinds sit side by side, accurate measuring and careful installation matter. We plan the widths, fascia finish and fabric alignment so the whole elevation reads as one considered scheme.
Somfy motorisation
Simple control first. Smart automation where it adds value.
Compatible Somfy systems can operate Zebra / Day & Night blinds by remote control, wall control or through the TaHoma smart-home platform. TaHoma can also centralise compatible blinds with other connected equipment and create scenes for daily routines.

Where they work best
A strong choice where daylight and privacy both matter.
Living rooms
Control glare during the day without immediately closing the room off from natural light.
Front-facing windows
Adjust the fabric bands to make the room feel more private while retaining useful daylight.
Open-plan spaces
Coordinate several blinds across dining, kitchen and living zones with compatible group controls.
New-build homes
The crisp horizontal banding and slim headrail work particularly well with contemporary glazing and clean interiors.
Designed as a complete elevation
The finish matters as much as the motor.
On larger projects, the most polished result comes from treating the wall of windows as one composition. Blind proportions, fabric banding, fascia colour and operating positions all need to work together.

Common questions
Motorised Day & Night blinds FAQ
What are Motorised Day & Night blinds?
They are double-layer roller blinds with alternating sheer and opaque fabric bands. Motorisation raises or lowers the blind and lets you position the bands for different levels of daylight and privacy.
Are Day & Night blinds the same as Aura blinds?
Yes. At Village Blinds and Shutters, Aura is the name commonly used for our Day & Night style blinds.
Can several blinds move together?
Yes. Compatible motor and control configurations can group multiple blinds, which is particularly useful across large windows or open-plan rooms.
Can I control them from my phone?
With compatible Somfy equipment and TaHoma, selected motorised blinds can be controlled through the TaHoma app and included in automated scenes.
Can they work with Alexa or Google Assistant?
Compatible TaHoma configurations support leading voice assistants. We confirm the exact compatibility for the selected motor and control system before installation.
Are they good for privacy?
Yes. Moving the opaque fabric bands into alignment reduces visibility through the blind while allowing you to change the setting again whenever you want more daylight.
Do you make and fit them across Northern Ireland?
Yes. Village Blinds and Shutters provides free home appointments, made-to-measure manufacture and professional fitting across Northern Ireland.
