Lauren Jansen is a DIY and design creator, former digital marketing director, and mother of three daughters. She transforms her house into beautiful, practical spaces through projects she completes herself. Her work covers wallpaper, furniture, garden layouts, and home decor, often with help from her daughters. Lauren's bedroom update with Graywind Motorized Dual Shades reflects the same approach: thoughtful design that supports everyday life. Her creativity shows how energy, love, practical skills, and determination can shape both a home and a career.
'I personally do all the DIY and projects that I share myself.'
A Home Remodeler with Creative Energy
Lauren constantly challenges herself with new DIY projects. Her home is her showroom, and each room reflects her creativity and hands-on work. From selecting wallpaper and designing furniture to arranging the garden and matching decor, she uses practical skills and a strong visual sense to make each space both attractive and functional.
While caring for her three daughters, Lauren still makes time for the projects she loves. Her daughters sometimes become her assistants and join her creative activities. These shared projects strengthen their relationship while encouraging creativity and independence.
Lauren's Bedroom Upgrade with Motorized Dual Shades
Lauren updated her bedroom with Graywind Motorized Dual Shades, combining practical light control with a relaxed interior style. She also shared the bedroom project through her Instagram account.
Flexible Light Control
At night, a blackout layer can create a darker, more private sleeping environment. During the day, a light-filtering layer can soften glare while allowing useful daylight into the room. A dual shade combines these functions in one system, addressing daytime and nighttime needs more flexibly than a single-layer roller shade.
Available controls depend on the chosen motor and accessories. Review Graywind's Smart Control Guide before selecting a configuration.
Coordinating Shades with Existing Decor
When a room already has curtains, the shade fabric can be selected to coordinate with their color and texture. Lauren chose a linen-toned look that feels natural and slightly vintage. Its subtle texture and relaxed folds complement the bedroom without overwhelming the existing decor.
Some Q&A

A: I've been a full-time creator for almost 3 years now! Prior to content creation, I worked as a digital marketing director.
Q: How did you start this? We found out that you remodeled your house from scratch; and you also did it when you were pregnant. You're really good at this.
A: I've always had a passion for creating a home. This originally started with interior design and intentional decorating. Then I quickly realized I could do so much more if I learned how to use power tools so I could fully reimagine the spaces within my home. Ever since, I've been dreaming up beautiful, functional spaces for every room!

A: We love to travel together, get outside and enjoy the sunshine, and play board games!
Q: Will you continue to choose and recommend Graywind to your friends?
A: Yes! I love the Graywind products within my home and love telling my friends and family about products they might love too! And we are going to install outdoor roller shades which are perfect for the coming summer and my patio!
Q: Have you used smart home products before? What is your experience with the Motorized Dual Shade?
A: I have used smart home products and believe they can greatly impact the home by making spaces more functional. I think products like the Motorized Dual Shade can help pull rooms together due to their beautiful design while also helping to ease the workload!
