New construction so every window is getting wired for low-voltage power. Wiring is done through attic and wire gets dropped down at the top of each window and will not be visible once the blind is installed. I will be using Hunter Douglas Duette shades with bottom-up/top-down option. All the wires get run to a power hub in a closet. Blinds can be operated individually in each room with a remote and/or they can be automated to open/close at certain times of day.

If you don't need/want the top-down/bottom-up option, then it opens up a lot more choices in style and brands.
