Designer reviewing art

For designers who source with intention.

Art that earns its place in a room.

We built this program for the people who understand that art isn't decoration β€” it's the decision that makes everything else make sense.

What You Get

More than a discount. A relationship.

01

Trade Pricing

Approved members receive exclusive pricing across our full collection. Your member code applies at checkout β€” no negotiating, no awkward conversations.

02

Early Access

Before anything hits the floor or the website, you hear about it first. New arrivals, limited editions, show openings β€” first look, first right of refusal.

03

Art Loans for Projects

Not every client can commit to a wall until they've lived with it. We offer short-term loans for qualifying projects β€” so the right piece has a fair chance to prove itself.

04

Custom Room Mockups

Send us your room. We'll drop work into it digitally so your client can see it before they have to believe it. Presentation made easy.

05

Commission Access

When nothing in the collection is quite right, we'll work directly with our artists on something that is. Size, palette, medium β€” coordinated around your timeline.

06

Dedicated Studio Contact

One person who knows your projects, remembers your clients' tastes, and can pull work before you've finished asking. No general inbox. No starting over.

3

Shop + Source

Browse in-store or online. Request mockups, initiate loans, or put in a commission inquiry β€” your contact handles logistics end to end.

4

Stay in the Loop

Regular early-access previews, invitations to private openings, and the occasional studio visit β€” because the best art conversations happen in person.

"The right piece doesn't complete a room β€” it starts a conversation."
Deb Thompson, Founder β€” Nahcotta

Interior designers, architects, stagers, and creative directors: this is your access point. We've worked with designers since 2000 β€” we speak your language.

Terms of Use

Transparent by default.

We keep our program intentionally tight β€” quality over volume. These terms protect the artists, our retail clients, and the integrity of the program.

Who Qualifies

The Nahcotta Trade Program is open to working interior designers, interior decorators, architects, creative directors, production designers, home stagers, and art consultants. Applicants must provide proof of professional practice (business license, design organization membership, or equivalent credentials). Resellers and retail buyers are not eligible.

Discount + Pricing

Trade pricing is for professional use only and may not be passed directly to non-professional end consumers at markup above cost. Discount codes are single-account, non-transferable, and cannot be stacked with other promotions or sale pricing. Nahcotta reserves the right to adjust trade pricing at any time with reasonable notice.

Art Loans

Loan requests are evaluated on a per-project basis. Loaned works remain the property of Nahcotta and must be returned in original condition within the agreed loan period (typically 2–4 weeks). Members are responsible for safe handling and any damage sustained during the loan period. Loans are available within the continental US.

Commission Requests

Commission inquiries are facilitated by Nahcotta but negotiated directly between the client and artist. Timelines, pricing, and scope vary by artist. A non-refundable deposit is typically required to initiate a commission. Nahcotta does not guarantee specific outcomes for custom work requests.

Early Access + Confidentiality

Early-access previews are shared for sourcing purposes only and are not to be distributed, reposted, or shared publicly until works are listed for general sale. Images shared by Nahcotta for mockup purposes are for internal client presentation only β€” not for publication without written permission.

Membership in Good Standing

Nahcotta reviews trade accounts annually. Inactive accounts may be deactivated. Misuse of the program β€” including reselling below retail without authorization or sharing member codes β€” will result in immediate membership revocation. We take the program seriously because our artists do too.

Apply for Access

Serious inventory.
Real relationships.

We review every application ourselves. You'll hear back within 3–5 business days.
