Model & Actress Jillian Mercado Loves Motorized Shades for Managing Physical Disability

Actress and model Jillian Mercado lives in sunny southern California where she enjoys year-round sunshine, but even for this sun-lover, it can be too much at times! When she decided to install motorized shades powered by Somfy, she knew that the convenience of adjusting her shades at the touch of a button was important. 

“I love natural light, but there’s times where the glare of the sun interferes with my television or I am just reading a book and the sun is too much in my face,” she explained.

On top of that, Jillian has a physical disability that makes reaching her windows to lower the shades – or even pulling a non-motorized curtain cord – difficult.

“That’s why having a remote control – or the fact that it is so technology advanced that I can use my phone – has been super awesome.”

The shades are the perfect blend of function and beauty for Jillian’s space – she loves the way they look down, but also loves that they disappear almost completely when they’re fully up so she can let as much sun in as possible when she wants to.

“I’m so thankful that I have these in my own home and space,” says Jillian. “I love them.”

Whether you’re looking for motorized shades to help beautiful your home, let in more light or even block it out, Somfy has a motorized solution to suit your needs.
