DALLAS – Dallas Market Center has announced an expansion of design showrooms inside its Interior Home + Design Center (IHDC). More than 100 brands, represented across multiple showrooms, will move into custom spaces on the first and second floors of the building in the first half of 2026. According to the company, this is the largest showroom development project at Dallas Market Center in more than a decade.
Construction has begun on the first showroom, C. Maddox & Co., which represents more than 30 home furnishings brands. A 40,000-square-foot flagship showroom on the second floor is expected to open in the spring. C. Maddox & Co. was previously located on the ninth floor of the World Trade Center. Additional showrooms will relocate from the ninth floor, which will be converted into flexible tradeshow space for events throughout the year. Companies relocating will be joined by exhibitors new to Dallas Market Center.
Brands represented by C. Maddox & Co. include Caracole, CR Laine, Hancock and Moore, John Richard, Made Goods, Modern History, Taracea, Vanguard Furniture and Wesley Hall Upholstery, among others.
“These new showrooms underscore our commitment to the business of home décor, and these respected brands benefit from the steady traffic of an open-daily design center plus our market-time traffic throughout the year,” said Cindy Morris, president and CEO of Dallas Market Center. “As companies consider where to expand their business to reach more designers and retailers, the demand for permanent showroom space is at a premium. At the same time, our temporary tradeshow business continues to expand, and we will utilize the 9th floor for trade events throughout the year including ones serving the Design trade.”
The 2026 initiative follows the 2016 renovation and rebranding of the building as the Interior Home + Design Center. New showrooms opened in 2016 and 2017 after exterior and interior upgrades to the mid-century building.
Today, the building features open-daily corporate showrooms from brands including Visual Comfort, Currey & Co, Surya, Palecek, Global Views, Uttermost, Unique Loom and American Leather, among others. Multi-brand showrooms include Coco & Dash, representing Chaddock Furniture, J Wilkenson Chair, Coco & Dash Heritage and Matouk, among others; and MC Studio, representing Bernhardt Interiors, Norwalk Furniture, Fabricut, Tomlinson, Vahallan, Ann Gish and Regina Andrew Detroit, among others. The Gallery represents more than a dozen home décor companies including Port 68, Alicia Adams Alpaca and Amity Home. The Textile Salon features fabrics, window coverings, rugs, pillows, wallpapers and surfaces, including Kravet, English Village Lane and Prince of Scots.
The Interior Home + Design Center building first opened in 1957 as The Home Furnishings Mart. The property includes front windows and exterior doors opening to front-door parking spaces, an extended front porte cochère with valet parking and a reception and registration area.
Dallas Market Center operates three buildings: the Interior Home + Design Center, the World Trade Center and the Trade Mart. The company hosts design events throughout the year in partnership with organizations including ASID (American Society of Interior Design), TAID (Texas Association of Interior Design) and the Interior Design Society. The national ASID conference, GATHER: Catalyst, will take place at Dallas Market Center in September.
Upcoming trade events include:
- Design Days, April 14-15
- Total Home & Gift Market, June 24-30
- Lightovation, June 24-27
- Design + Build Day at Lightovation, June 23
