Our Story

At Awake Decor, we believe a well-designed home is more than a collection of furniture—it’s a sanctuary, a reflection of your life, and a place where memories are made.

Our journey began nearly three years ago in Denver, North Carolina (Lake Norman area), with a vision to create more than just a furniture store. We imagined a destination where quality, craftsmanship, and personal connection come together to awaken your home’s full potential.

Awake Decor was founded by Tam and Rich during a time when the meaning of “home” evolved profoundly. In the wake of COVID, we saw an opportunity to design a space that inspires, comforts, and connects. The name Awake Decor embodies our mission: to help you awaken your home’s beauty with pieces that seamlessly combine artistry, function, and joy.

Every item in our collection is personally and thoughtfully chosen to bring your vision to life. From North Carolina-made sofas and accent chairs to distinctive, hand-selected decor, we prioritize quality and personalization. Many of our pieces can be tailored to your preferences—allowing you to choose finishes, fabrics, and configurations that reflect your unique style.

What began as a dream has grown into a thriving boutique furniture and decor store rooted in creativity, intentionality, and community. We are proud to call Denver home, serving locals and visitors alike who value individuality and thoughtful design.

Whether you’re discovering us for the first time or have been part of our story since the beginning, we invite you to explore our collections, uncover unique pieces, and allow us to guide you every step of the way.

At Awake Decor, it’s not just about furniture—it’s about creating a home that reflects your story and awakens inspiration in your everyday life.

With gratitude,

Tam, Rich, & David
