A window covering assembly includes a bracket, a roller channel for supporting a blinds covering, and a roller motor module. Protrusions are provided on the inside surface of the roller channel, and these protrusions engage recesses that are provided on the roller motor module. Roller motor module imparts a rotational force on the roller channel to extend or retract the blinds covering through the protrusions and recesses. The window covering may be converted from a manually-operated configuration to a motorized configuration. Prior to such a conversion, the assembly does not include the roller motor module but instead includes a roller spring module that includes recesses for engaging with the protrusions of the roller channel. When a user manually extends the blinds covering, rotation of the roller channel energizes a spring on the roller spring module, which imparts a rotational force in the direction of retraction of the blinds covering.
