Design Studio CDAC

Welcome to a design studio built for color, texture, pattern, personality, and the art of collected living.

Chattanooga Decorative Arts Collective brings together art, interiors, textiles, furnishings, makers, designers, and creative commerce in one colorful destination.

The CDAC Design Studio is a creative resource for anyone looking to bring more beauty, depth, and intention into a space. Whether you are choosing a designer fabric, searching for the right wallcovering, planning upholstery, sourcing original art, refreshing a room, or dreaming through a larger interior project, our studio is here to help connect the details.
The Design Studio extends that experience into hands-on guidance for homes, creative spaces, commercial interiors, and design-forward projects. It is where beautiful materials, thoughtful sourcing, and creative direction come together.

What to Bring to a Design Conversation

To make the most of your inquiry or consultation, consider preparing:
  • Room photos
  • Measurements
  • Inspiration images
  • Existing paint, fabric, or finish samples
  • Product links
  • Favorite colors or patterns
  • Notes about your style
  • Project timeline
  • Budget range

  • Any pieces you want to keep, recover, redesign, or build around
You do not need to arrive with a perfect plan. Creative projects often begin with a feeling, a color, a pattern, or one piece that sparks the next idea.
