Why Motorized Shades
The most considered window treatment available.
Motorized Roller & Zebra Shades represent the intersection of design and technology. A roller shade is the most architectural window treatment you can choose — a single piece of fabric that rolls up and disappears into a cassette at the top of the window. No cords, no visible hardware, no visual noise. When raised, it is essentially invisible. When lowered, it presents a clean, considered surface of fabric. At Wallpaper Elegance, we've been helping Las Vegas homeowners find the right custom shades since 1992.
Motorization takes that refinement further. There are no pull cords to manage, no reason to walk to each window individually. You control them from your phone, a wall switch, or your voice — and you can set schedules so they open with the morning light and close as the afternoon sun reaches the west-facing windows. For Las Vegas homes with large glazed walls or high windows, motorization is not an upgrade — it is the natural choice.
Zebra shades layer alternating bands of sheer and solid fabric, giving you two distinct modes in a single treatment. Align the bands and the sheer sections filter light softly while maintaining your view. Offset them and the solid sections close for privacy. The effect is sophisticated and versatile — particularly well-suited to living rooms and spaces where you want flexibility throughout the day.
For Las Vegas homeowners, sun control is a genuine daily concern. The afternoon sun in Nevada is intense, and without a considered window covering, it heats rooms, fades furniture and flooring, and makes west-facing spaces uncomfortable for hours at a time. A solar screen fabric filters UV light while preserving your view — protection without darkness.
Our Design Concierge team will bring fabric samples to your home so you can see exactly how each option performs in your actual light conditions. We carry roller and zebra shade fabrics in a range of opacities, from nearly transparent solar screens to full blackout — and we'll guide you to the right choice for each room.


Options & Considerations
What to Know Before You Choose
Solar Screen Fabrics
Filter UV and reduce glare while maintaining your view. Available in 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10% openness — lower percentage means more privacy and sun control.
Room Darkening & Blackout
For bedrooms and media rooms. Room darkening reduces light significantly; blackout eliminates it almost entirely with side channels.
Smart Home Integration
Compatible with most major platforms including Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Lutron. Schedules, scenes, and voice control all available.
Large & High Windows
Motorization is especially practical for oversized windows, skylights, and windows above furniture where manual operation would be awkward.
Cassette Options
Open roll (minimal, architectural), fascia cassette (clean rectangular housing), or recessed into the ceiling for a truly seamless look.
Energy Efficiency
Solar screen fabrics can reduce solar heat gain significantly, lowering cooling costs during Las Vegas summers.
