Default Lanai shades

Don’t know how it would look plus the boxes for the motors.

Any alternative ideas?
Or if you sis the motorized INSIDE your lanai were you happy with them?
Thanks!
Our lanai is enclosed and has the Mitsubishi but faces West - blinds were absolutely essential. We have four blinds, spanning 20", they're not motorized and they've been working great for 5 years.
