I put Lutron shades in my family room this year and I love them. I have a large sectional in the room and didn't want to climb over it to pull shades all of the time. Wouldn't think twice about buying them again.

Lutron offers pleated honeycomb and also roller shades in battery power for new or existing construction. Both are easy to install and are offered in a wide range of fabrics.

Since this is new construction use 120 volt hardwired to the controller.

Lutron is the best product on the market. The low voltage roller shades are silent, connect to control systems and can be controlled iPhones. In new construction the smaller low voltage option is better than 120v.

I have a Hunter Douglas motorized luminette on my very large slider (102" tall x 164 wide). Love it. The "pebble" controller has a battery, but the shade is wired in. I did not opt for the web interface, but could have operated from my phone for a few more $$.
