5 Tips for Choosing the Right Motorised Curtains in Malaysia

Motorised curtains are becoming a must-have in modern homes and offices. They offer convenience, safety, and style — all in one system. If you're considering upgrading your home with smart curtains, here are 5 essential tips to help you make the right choice:

1. Understand Your Window Type and Space

Before buying, consider:

• Where will the curtain be installed? Living room, bedroom, or office?

• What type of window? Sliding, bay, or full-height glass?

• Do you need dual-layer curtains (sheer + blackout)?

Proper measurements and layout are key to choosing the right curtain track and motor.

2. Choose Your Control Method

Most motorised curtains offer:

• Remote control – easy and traditional

• Mobile App – great for smart home setups

• Voice control – using Alexa or Google Assistant

• Scheduled timer – for auto open/close daily

Tip: Go for systems that support multiple control modes for flexibility.

3. Focus on Motor Quality and Noise Level

The motor is the core of your curtain. Make sure it is:

• Quiet (below 30dB) – ideal for bedrooms

• Reliable brand – such as Somfy or Dooya

• Comes with warranty – at least 1-3 years

4. Match with Interior Style

Curtains are part of your décor:

• Minimalist – neutral colours, clean lines

• Luxury homes – velvet or embroidered fabrics

• Office use – heat-resistant and blackout types

Choose between concealed or surface-mounted tracks based on your ceiling design.

5. Engage a Professional Supplier & Installer

Motorised curtains are best installed by experienced teams:

• On-site measurement
