WHO WE ARE...
The Canadian Decorators' Association (CDECA) is a professional not-for-profit Association representing both Student and Accredited interior decorators and interior designers, and Affiliate businesses across Canada.  Our goal is to foster the growth of the decorating industry in Canada; provide advocacy respecting policy matters; promote a positive image of the industry through proactive activities and events; and offer value to Members through upgrading of skills and knowledge. CDECA is the most influential Association representing decorators in Canada.

CDECA is committed to enhancing the quality of the decorating industry by providing opportunities to its Members including professional development courses, programming, networking, and additional resources and services through its many forms of offerings.

CDECA advocates for interior decorating excellence by providing industry information, maintaining advanced educational standards and requirements; and ethics in business practices. 

CDECA is a professional association and not a governing body; as such, all matters related to contracts and fees are considered to be strictly between decorator and client.

Accredited interior decorators are trained to decorate and design interior spaces in compliance with our constitutional Bylaws and Code of Ethics. Under the leadership of an inspired Board of Directors and the growing national Membership, CDECA is well positioned to move forward with confidence and a plan for the future of our industry.
