Our Story

Our Story 
At Awake Decor, we believe a well-designed home is more than just a collection of furniture—it’s a sanctuary, a reflection of your story, and a place where memories are made.
Our journey began nearly three years ago in Denver, North Carolina (Lake Norman), where we envisioned more than just a furniture store. We wanted to create a destination where quality, craftsmanship, and personal connection come together to awaken the full potential of your home.
Born out of a shared passion for creating and community, Awake Decor was founded by Tam and Rich during a time when the meaning of “home” took on new significance. In the wake of COVID, we saw an opportunity to create a space that inspires, comforts, and connects. The name “Awake Decor” reflects our mission: to help you awaken your home’s potential with pieces that bring beauty, functionality, and joy to your daily life.
Each piece in our collection is personally selected with care, blending artistry and practicality. From North Carolina-made sofas and accent chairs to thoughtfully curated decor, every item reflects our commitment to quality and personalization. Many of our offerings can be tailored to your preferences, allowing you to choose finishes, fabrics, and configurations that bring your unique vision to life.
What began as a dream has grown into a thriving boutique-style furniture and decor store. We’re proud to remain rooted in Denver, serving a community that values creativity, intentionality, and individuality. Whether you’re a longtime local or visiting us for the first time, it’s our greatest privilege to help you transform your house into a home.
We invite you to explore our collections, discover unique pieces, and let us guide you every step of the way. At Awake Decor, it’s not just about furniture—it’s about awakening the beauty, comfort, and inspiration within your home.
With gratitude,
Tam, Rich, & David
