Touch every fabric. Hear every motor. Try every keypad. The decision is easier when you've spent twenty minutes with the thing in your hand — and the showroom is built for exactly that.
A photograph can show you what a roller shade looks like. A swatch can show you what a fabric feels like. Neither can tell you what an Alisse keypad sounds like under your finger, or how loudly a motorized drapery rod traverses across a thirteen-foot wall, or whether the 2700K cove warm-white is the right warm-white for your kitchen.
The Piedmont showroom answers all three. Live keypads, live motors, live scenes. Every brand we install is set up the way it would be set up in a home — not on a sales wall, but in a room you can actually stand in.
The showroom is laid out as a sequence of decisions — light first, then mechanism, then fabric, then control. Most visitors spend forty-five minutes to an hour. Some stay through lunch. Coffee, water, and a chair are always part of it.
Watch a single room shift from 2700K dinner to 5000K morning, full bright to dawn-mode 4%, on a Lutron HomeWorks scene panel.
Battery, hardwired, and Lutron Quiet Drive — side by side. Bring your phone's decibel meter; everyone does eventually.
Hundreds of solar, blackout, and decorative swatches in real light, against real walls — not a binder under fluorescents.
Alisse, Palladiom, Sunnata. Every finish, every engraving option. Press them; the worst keypad to live with is the one you didn't try.
A live thirteen-foot motorized rod with two fabric weights — pinch pleat and ripplefold — operating on a single command.
A working Fenetex screen and an Insolroll solar shade, full-scale, the way they would deploy on a covered porch.
A live Josh.ai node tied into the showroom shades and lights. Try a sentence, see the room respond, ask a follow-up.
If you've brought drawings or swatches, we'll work them at the consultation table while you sit. Most visits end with a sketch.
2,400 square feet on Piedmont Road, three blocks south of the Lindbergh / I-85 interchange. Photography is a poor substitute for being in the room — but it gives you a sense of what to expect.
Free parking in front of the building. We share a lobby with two other tenants — Suite 110 is to your right when you walk in. Look for the brass plate.
Coming from Buckhead, it's a five-minute drive south on Piedmont. From Brookhaven or Sandy Springs, take I-85 to Cheshire Bridge and double back; we're three blocks from the exit.
Trade visits get a private hour, samples pre-staged for your project, and a working consultation table. Email trade@motionshading.com or use the trade page to set it up.
Walk-ins are always welcome, but a short heads-up lets us pre-stage finishes, fabrics, and brand-specific demos for what you're working on. Most appointments run 45–60 minutes.
If you'd rather do an in-home visit instead — same conversation, fewer keypads — the contact page is the better starting point.
