When Technology Becomes Architecture

The Rise of Design-Integrated Lighting & Shading Systems

Did you know 52 percent of interior designers and architects believe proper lighting design can enhance even the most modest homes? Meanwhile, 47 percent believe the wrong lighting design hinders even the most luxurious spaces.  

We certainly agree. We’ve met homeowners who spent millions on their properties, only to leave rooms with “four cans and a fan” lighting that cast a dull light and harsh shadows. On the windows, people leave lopsided blinds with tangled cords, unintentionally hindering their home’s appearance. 

That’s why lighting design is gaining momentum in new builds and renovations. And thankfully, more high-end lighting and shading brands are offering design-centric options, making it easier to create a beautiful ambiance while reducing tech clutter. 

The Rise of “Quiet Ceilings” 

We’re all familiar with “popcorn” or “cottage cheese” ceilings, the lumpy design trend that’s now ubiquitous with the 1980s and ‘90s. Another trend that’s reached its expiration date? “Swiss cheese ceilings.” 

You’ve seen them: ceilings that look hole-punched with large recessed lights, some as large as 6 inches wide. These grids of circles cast an unflattering glare, often making rooms feel more like a dentist’s office than a luxury home.

How Hybrid Work Reveals the Weaknesses of Outdated Meeting Rooms 

In 2020, when most of the working world went online, we proclaimed that the future was remote. Many business owners worried their offices would forever sit empty. 

That didn’t turn out to be the case—instead, most businesses are operating on a hybrid model. Today, 50-52 percent of ‘remote capable’ jobs are working hybrid, with 22-30 percent fully remote and 20-22 percent entirely on-site.

Why It’s Time to Ditch the Single-Router, Multi-App Smart Home Setup

Does this sound like your home? 

You have a single, consumer-grade Wi-Fi router that’s used on every floor and in every room, serving sometimes dozens of devices at once. Your entertainment, home office, and smart devices all rely on this router alone—and sometimes your technology stalls or becomes unresponsive. 

On top of that, every IoT device has its own app, cloud account, and even sometimes its own physical remote. You’re left juggling three or four apps for the smart bulbs, another for the security cameras, and a pile of remotes to control your TV and soundbar setup. It’s madness! 

This was the old way. Thankfully, there is now a smarter, simpler approach to living with home technology, with help from your local integrator

Client Success Story: Transforming Tedious Tech Into a Smooth, Integrated Experience 

When a leading financial institution in Dallas/Ft. Worth expanded its office with a new floor, they knew they would need new AV technology. But after evaluating their existing systems, they realized it may not be as simple as adding on new tech. 

The problem? Their previous technology stack was anything but simple. Frequent reboots, inconsistent room experiences, and disjointed systems created barriers to productivity, and eroded their confidence in the technology.

That’s where Texadia Systems stepped in with a plan: simplify, standardize, and stabilize.
