treatments. You can turn a over-bright room into an easy-on-the-eyes environment within seconds of flipping a switch. Or you can turn a room into a cozy room by closing the rest of the world out. What is impressive is when you couple the motorized blinds together so that a single switch can work the blinds with little to no effort.
If you are looking to create excitement into your home, then installing motorized window treatments is a good way to achieve that. However, selecting the type of window treatment for each room is quite a task. Often, motorized window treatments are custom built and companies that build the window treatments are often not equipped or do not know much about central control of motorized treatments.

Home Toys have an excellent article "Selecting Automated Window Treatments" that is a good starting point in understanding the options at the various price points.

Motorized window treatments can be an exciting part of an integrated home. What it takes to install fully motorized treatments is a lot of homework, accurate measurements, and consultation with an electrician concerning the proper wiring and selection of control units. It can be done, and done well if you take the advice from the Home Toys article.
