The Smart Home Upgrade You'll Actually Use.

Somfy Motors. Shades by Design Installation.

Forget complicated remotes and clunky apps. Our Somfy-powered motorized shades work with the devices you already use—Alexa, Google Assistant, or your smartphone. Create custom schedules, control everything with your voice, or let your shades adjust automatically based on the time of day. It’s smart home technology that just works.

Make Your Home More Comfortable, More Functional, More Beautiful

Whether you’re looking to enhance your indoor spaces or expand your outdoor living, we have the perfect solution.

Your Patio is Too Hot to Use

Don't let the sun keep you from enjoying your outdoor space. Motorized outdoor shades block heat and glare, making your patio, balcony, or terrace comfortable year-round.

Too Much Sun, Not Enough Comfort

Large windows mean beautiful views—and uncomfortable glare and heat. Our motorized shades give you precise control over natural light, keeping your home comfortable and your energy bills low.

Protect Your Investment

Florida sun is harsh on furniture, flooring, and artwork. Our UV-blocking shades preserve your interiors while maintaining your view.

Control from Anywhere

Adjust your shades from your phone, set schedules, or integrate with your smart home system. Convenience and comfort at your fingertips.

La Gorce Island Luxury Home

Shades By Design was thrilled to elevate both the interior and exterior of this exquisite luxury home on La Gorce Island, one of Miami’s most prestigious neighborhoods.

Outdoor Kitchen & Dining Area: A modern Renson Camargue pergola was installed to provide stylish and durable coverage for alfresco dining and entertaining.
Outdoor Lounge Area: Retractable Markilux awnings were added to deliver effective sun protection while enhancing the lounge’s comfort
Bedrooms, Family Room & Office: Motorized sheer and blackout Roman shades offer effortless light control and privacy, ensuring comfort in every space.
Living Room: Elegant sheer drapes were selected to frame the expansive windows, creating a light and airy atmosphere while complementing the home’s luxurious design.

Infinity Canopy, Miami FL

To enhance this outdoor space and to provide a nice cool shaded area, we installed white infinity canopy sliding panels on this beautiful black structure.

The location of the existing structure and newly installed canopy also allows the interior temperature of the home to remain at a comfortable level due to the extra shading and UV filtration.

Park Grove Residence

This luxury condo in Coconut Grove’s Park Grove development features beautiful curved and angled

Our team created a full array of motorized window treatment solutions that offer privacy, lighting control, energy efficiency, and added a soft elegant yet modern touch to the home.

Motorized Retractable Awning, Coconut Grove

When summer is here, there’s nothing more relaxing than to be out on your lanai or laying by the pool, but sometimes the blazing sun can interfere with this.

At this luxury single-family residence in Coconut Grove, we installed beautiful retractable awnings made of a sturdy exterior and mildew resistant Sunbrella fabric and motorized by Somfy motors.

Shades By Design FAQs

What makes your motorized shades a "luxury" experience?

True luxury is about seamless integration and effortless control. As certified Somfy Experts, we provide whisper-quiet motorization that integrates with your smart home system. This allows you to control light and privacy with a single voice command, a tap on your phone, or on a pre-set schedule that matches your lifestyle.

How much will a fully automated shading system for my home cost?

Because every project is a bespoke creation, the investment varies based on window size, fabric selection, and the level of automation. We provide a detailed, transparent quote after your free on-site consultation, ensuring the final design aligns perfectly with your vision and budget, with no hidden costs.

Are motorized curtains reliable for large or tall windows?

Yes, our heavy-duty Somfy motorization systems are engineered to handle the weight of luxurious, floor-to-ceiling drapery with ease. We use robust, high-quality tracks and motors that ensure a smooth, elegant, and reliable operation every time. This is true even for the most expansive window spans in a South Beach duplex or luxury residence.
