About CDAC

Chattanooga Decorative Arts Collective is a colorful destination for people who believe interiors should feel layered, expressive, artful, and alive.

Built around the beauty of decorative arts, thoughtful design, creative commerce, and community connection, CDAC brings together artists, makers, designers, vendors, collectors, shoppers, and design lovers under one vibrant roof.
Chattanooga Decorative Arts Collective brings together art, interiors, textiles, furnishings, makers, designers, and creative commerce in one colorful destination.
Here, a fabric can begin a room. A wallcovering can change the mood. A piece of art can become the heartbeat of a space. A maker can find new eyes for their work. A designer can discover the detail that completes a project. A shopper can walk in looking for one thing and leave inspired by something entirely unexpected.

CDAC is not just a store. It is a layered creative experience designed for discovery

Our Story

Chattanooga Decorative Arts Collective was created from a love of color, craft, interiors, and the people who make spaces more meaningful.

The collective was imagined as a place where decorative arts could be experienced in a fuller way, not just as products on a shelf, but as pieces with texture, history, artistry, and purpose. CDAC brings together the worlds of shopping, sourcing, design, events, artist representation, vendor opportunities, and creative community into one welcoming destination.
From designer fabrics and wallcoverings to furnishings, lighting, pottery, original art, antiques, textiles, and one-of-a-kind finds, CDAC is designed to help people discover pieces that make a space feel personal.
Some pieces may be bold. Some may be refined. Some may be handmade, vintage, custom, or wonderfully unexpected. What they share is a sense of story.

Our Philosophy

We believe design should never feel flat.
A beautiful space is built in layers: color, pattern, texture, material, light, scale, memory, and imagination. CDAC celebrates interiors that feel collected, expressive, and full of character.
Our philosophy is rooted in the idea that decorative arts are not an afterthought. They are the details that make a room feel human. A textile can soften a space. A wallcovering can create drama. A handmade object can bring warmth. A vintage piece can add history. A work of art can say what words cannot.
At CDAC, we welcome the bold, the delicate, the maximalist, the classic, the playful, the elegant, and the unusual. We believe creativity should feel inspiring, but never confusing. That is why our goal is to create a shopping and design experience that feels visually exciting while remaining organized, clear, and easy to explore.

A Marketplace for Artful Interiors
The CDAC marketplace is created for people who want more than ordinary.
Our e-commerce experience is being built to support a wide range of decorative arts and interior-focused products, including supplier-direct items, designer lines, artist-made work, limited collections, one-of-a-kind pieces, and curated product categories.
Customers will be able to shop by product type, creator, brand, room, style, material, color, pattern, and use. From fabrics and wallcoverings to art, lighting, furnishings, and antiques, the goal is to make discovery both inspiring and easy.
For limited pieces, our future Vanishing Market concept will highlight items that disappear once purchased, including original works, vintage finds, artist-made goods, antiques, and specialty market pieces.

A Home for Artists, Makers & Vendors
CDAC is also a place for creative people to be seen.

We welcome artists, makers, vendors, craftspeople, designers, antique sellers, textile artists, potters, furniture vendors, lighting vendors, and creative businesses who want to connect with design-minded shoppers and the Chattanooga creative community.

Through artist submissions, vendor applications, markets, pop-ups, lease opportunities, white container rentals, events, and creative collaborations, CDAC creates space for makers and vendors to share their work in a setting designed around beauty, discovery, and commerce.

Our design services may include fabric selection, wallcovering guidance, upholstery planning, drapery and window covering support, custom furnishings, art sourcing, furniture sourcing, decorative sourcing, room refresh support, and consultation-based design direction.
Whether you are choosing one fabric or building a complete layered concept, CDAC offers a place to ask questions, compare options, and move forward with more confidence.

CDAC is built to be experienced.
Our event offerings may include markets, art openings, classes, workshops, vendor pop-ups, artist showcases, trade events, community gatherings, and creative experiences that bring people together around art, interiors, craft, and design.
