Get the Custom Width & Length to Match Your Frame TV  

You care about how your home looks, right? You aren’t a college kid with thumb-tacked posters and a hodgepodge of random furniture. No, you’re an adult with taste and a home you take pride in. 

So, if you’re reading this, you probably understand the clash between interior design and setting up an attractive entertainment system. You could have the most beautifully cultivated furniture, artwork, and lighting—and then a clunky TV setup disturbs the entire aesthetic.  

Thankfully, many technology manufacturers are catching on and offering solutions to make TVs appear more aesthetically pleasing. Samsung’s The Frame television resembles a real piece of art when powered off, and fits ultra-slim to your wall. 

And now, audio manufacturer Leon has released a soundbar to perfectly fit the width and dimensions of any Frame AV. Meet the Leon FrameBar, the soundbar built for audio and design enthusiasts alike. 

The Soundbar Made for The Frame 

Leon’s FrameBar is custom-built to match the precise dimensions and frame color of any Samsung Frame TV, creating a unified, polished look. With its ultra-thin cabinet (as slim as 2.375 inches), the FrameBar installs flush to the wall using Leon’s exclusive mounting brackets.

“Is Ketra really worth it?” 

It’s a common question searched online and asked by our showroom visitors. Because while Ketra is regarded as the gold standard of tunable lighting control, it does have a notably higher price tag than products like Philips Hue. So, is it really the best? 

To understand Ketra’s value, it’s best experienced in person. But until then, let’s explore what makes Ketra more than just another lighting product, and why it’s trusted by design professionals, homeowners, and architects alike.

Not Just Bulbs: A Complete Line of Architectural Lighting

While most smart lighting brands focus on retrofittable LED bulbs, Ketra offers an expansive architectural-grade line: recessed downlights, linear tape lights, and track lights, all fully color-tunable across 16 million colors. We can use Ketra alone to create complete lighting designs, from ambient and accent lighting to task-focused areas.

The technology is equally advanced: each Ketra fixture contains a 16-diode chip, giving it the precision to render the exact hues and dynamic white tuning you desire. 

You’ll Want These Features Installed Before Walls Are Finished Over 

It takes a village to build a new house or complete a renovation. There’s your general contractor, of course, but under them, you may have a carpenter, roofer, plumber, mason, electrician, etc. And if you’re planning to build a luxury home, there’s another contractor you’ll want: a technology integrator. 

The role of the integrator is to install technology systems that work together. Whether that’s whole-home audio, security systems, or smart lighting, it all connects back to one centralized system. At Texadia Systems in Dallas-Fort Worth, we discreetly run wires and install devices so that they fit seamlessly within your space. 

It’s best to loop in an integrator as early as possible during your home’s construction. Here’s why you’ll be grateful you did so. 

5 Reasons to Hire an Integrator for Your New Home Build 

1. You’ll Simplify How You Manage Your Home 

As an integrator, we aim to simplify how you interact with home technology, from lighting to thermostats. Your integrator will consolidate every technology feature into one control system, including: 

• Home security cameras 
• Alarms 
• Automated door locks 
• Automated gates 
• Whole-home audio 
• TVs and projectors 
• Outdoor audio-video 
• Smart LED lighting 
• Landscape lighting 
• Motorized window shades 
• Smart thermostats

Smart home systems like Control4 provide all-in-one control of all these solutions—both from home and remotely. So even when you’re away from home, you’re connected. 

Glass-walled conference rooms are a hallmark of today’s modern, open-concept office. In urban Dallas offices—especially coworking spaces, design firms, and corporate headquarters—they offer sleek aesthetics, natural light, and a sense of transparency.

However, they come with two major acoustic challenges: echo and lack of privacy.

If your glass wall conference room in Dallas, TX, sounds more like a gymnasium than a meeting space, you’re not alone. Fortunately, solutions like acoustic treatments, sound masking, and AV integration can transform your space into a functional, private environment. Let’s explore how.

Get the Benefits of Remote Work without the Downsides 

We love hybrid work. It’s incredibly convenient, widens talent pools, and helps people live their best lives without the stress of long commutes and finding local housing. 

But have we lost something without seeing each other in person? Face-to-face interactions lead to fewer misunderstandings, more effective communication, and stronger bonds. So, when your teams aren’t in person together, it’s critical to replicate the face-to-face experience the best way possible.

A well-designed video conferencing system not only ensures effective communication but also creates an inclusive environment where every team member feels equally valued. Let’s explore how advanced conferencing technology can improve hybrid communication and create a more welcoming company culture. 

How Networking Powers Today’s Lighting, Shading, & Automation Systems

Most people tend to focus on the fun, flashy aspects of smart home living: beautiful lighting scenes, motorized shades, whole-home audio, etc. And it’s understandable—that’s the part you want to experience in your home. 

But what many homeowners don't realize is that every one of these experiences depends on something less visible: a professionally designed network. In this article, we'll explore how networking infrastructure supports today's most sophisticated smart homes in and around Dallas–Fort Worth, and what homeowners should consider when building or upgrading their residences. 

Create a Versatile Media Room with Home Theater-Level AV 

Do you crave the ultra-wide screen, surround sound, and cinematic experience that a home theater provides—but aren’t sure if you have room for a home theater? Or maybe you do have the space yet wonder how often you’ll use a room with only a screen and seating. 

There’s a happy medium between dedicated home theaters and a living room setup, and that’s the media room. Perhaps a media room is a better fit for your Highland Park, TX home. You can still enjoy the high-quality audio and video setup you’d find in a home theater installation, but with more flexibility for other activities. 

Below we’ll share how you can create a multipurpose media room and what equipment to include. And to learn more about the world of home theaters, subscribe to our monthly newsletter here! 

For Smooth, Tunable White Light & Integrated Home Control 

Who doesn’t love a subtle, ambient glow under cabinets or bookshelves? Or gentle illumination behind a mirror and cove ceilings? In the past decade or so, tape lights have become a favorite of interior designers and design-minded homeowners. 

Yet people often purchase DIY tape lights that leave much to be desired. “Best Of” lists by Wirecutter and similar publications recommend cheap, low-end models that: 

• Offer very few color options 
• Leave visible ‘dots’ between lights 
• Are too dim to provide task lighting in kitchens and offices 
• Don’t include remote access and control 
• Don’t include sophisticated automation and scheduling 
• Lack true natural white, appearing either ultra-bright or nearly orange 

If you’re looking for a high-performance, luxury experience from your tape lights, let us point you towards Lutron and Ketra, the top names in smart lighting control today. Maybe you already have a Lutron lighting control system, or perhaps you’re new to the world of whole-home smart lighting. Here’s what makes their tape lights truly the best available today. 

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.

Upgrade Your Meeting Spaces with New Shure IntelliMix™ Room Kits + Teams Rooms

Hybrid collaboration isn't going away any time soon, but subpar meeting experiences should. At Texadia Systems, we know that for collaboration spaces to be truly effective, you need intuitive technology that “just works” every time. That’s why we trust Shure’s IntelliMix Room Kits when integrating Microsoft Teams Rooms.

Whether you're designing a new office in Dallas/Ft. Worth or upgrading an existing meeting space, this solution combines premium audio, intelligent video, and effortless control in a package that eliminates technical headaches. And we’ll install, scale, and support it all for you.

Elevating Interior Design with a Touch of Brass 

When many people hear ‘home automation,’ they think of glossy screens and futuristic gadgets. But Lutron offers a refreshing alternative for whole-home lighting control: the Aviena keypad. 

Designed with antique charm and performance, Aviena proves that smart technology can also be beautiful.

If you’re in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and planning a luxury home build or renovation, here’s why this new lighting control solution deserves your attention.

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. 

HOW OUR COLLABORATION CREATES INCREDIBLE SYSTEMS

We’re a technology integrator, which means we implement business technology systems, including audio, video, security, and lighting. Lighting is a major part of what we do, and we help businesses remotely control and automate their lighting with customizable LED fixtures. 

But we aren’t architects or property builders. We partner with these professionals to bring technology solutions to life in new businesses and homes. In a similar way, we collaborate with lighting designers to supply the technical and electrical side of wonderful lighting design. 

We partner with designers at Light Can Help You to fulfill breathtaking lighting designs through smart technology and custom programming. Here’s how we work with lighting designers to complete commercial lighting projects in the Dallas, TX, area.

The Latest Hero of the Hybrid Workspace 

Is your office designed for the way people actually work today? 

If your Dallas/Ft. Worth workplace still relies primarily on large conference rooms, you may be missing one of the most effective collaboration spaces in modern offices: the huddle room.

Typically 150 to 200 square feet, these compact meeting spaces have quickly become some of the most valuable real estate in commercial environments. If your office hasn’t carved out space for huddle rooms yet, let’s explore why they’re gaining popularity across Texas businesses. 

More Goes Into AV Design Than You May Think 

If you’ve been tasked with managing your company’s conference rooms, you may be wondering if there are any industry standards you should follow before installing an audio-video system. 

The truth is, there are so many variables that can affect a meeting space and its specific AV needs. For instance, do you have glass walls or hardwood floors? That can influence the acoustics of a space. Prefer a projector or video display? Have long tables, round tables, or hollow-squared tables?

And then there are your users to think about. Is your staff tech-savvy and able to handle “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD)? Or will this be an executive suite where people are too busy to figure out what kind of connector they have? 

Some meeting rooms are just used for small collaborations, while others have professional-grade broadcast gear. So how do you know what solutions to get? 

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. 

Attract (and Keep!) Top Talent While Improving Productivity in Your Meeting Spaces 

How is your conference room’s lighting? 

While it may not seem like the most urgent concern, your office’s environment can have a direct impact on employee performance, productivity, and morale. If people dislike being in your office, even if only a few days a week, they’ll be more likely to look elsewhere for work. 

Texadia Systems works with businesses across Dallas-Fort Worth, and we’ve seen our fair share of poor meeting room lighting. After we come in and update the lighting design, people are amazed at how much more enjoyable it is to meet and collaborate in their meeting spaces. 

So, whether you’re moving into a new unit or upgrading your current workspace, consider the following updates to your conference room lighting.

First, Get As Much Natural Light as Possible 

We can’t stress this enough. While most of us know intuitively that natural light makes us happier, there’s science to back it up. A 2018 study by the World Green Building Council found that workers in offices with natural light reported up to 15 percent higher levels of well-being, productivity, and creativity. A study by Cornell University also found that workers in daylit offices experience 84 percent less eye strain, headaches, and blurred vision compared to artificially-lit spaces. 

Getting Started with Direct-View LED Walls 

From command centers to retail spaces, all types of businesses thrive with a video wall display. 

While the video wall has been around for quite some time (first introduced in the early 1980s), the latest, greatest version in 2025 is the Direct View LED Video Wall. Unlike previous iterations, DVLEDs don’t use a backlight to display an image. Instead, each individual LED diode is both a light source and a pixel. Each pixel emits its own light, creating richer colors and a smooth, grid-free image. 

Direct View LED walls are also completely modular and scalable to any size or aspect ratio—which is especially helpful for any business looking to get creative with their video wall display. You don’t have to stick to one image or video on the screen. Why not use your wall-sized screen to share all the content you desire? 

Whether you need game coverage in a sports bar or wayfinding content in an airport, a commercial integrator like Texadia Systems can help you customize the number of images/videos on display. Here’s how it works. 

Two Essential Components: the Processor & Controller 

To set up your video wall’s display, you’ll need a quality processor and controller, which serve two very distinct purposes:

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. 

And Yours Should, Too. 

Walk into three different conference rooms, and you may find three different experiences. One room’s tech connects instantly to the meeting. Another needs adapters. A third requires a call to IT before the meeting can even begin. 

For many modern businesses, this inconsistency has become a major operational friction point, especially in hybrid environments. That’s why more organizations are standardizing AV systems across all spaces. Not to make every room identical, but to make every experience predictable, reliable, and easy to support.
