Nestled in the heart of Carefree, Arizona, amidst the stunning desert landscapes, lies a haven of beauty and inspiration – Hive Interiors. Owned and operated by the visionary Lauren Miller, Hive Interiors is more than just a boutique; it's a sanctuary for those seeking exquisite florals and unique home décor.
As our cover feature for this special ladies' issue, Lauren shares the journey behind Hive Interiors, which was inspired by her love for flowers and beautiful things. "I wanted a one-stop shop where you could buy a host gift, fresh flowers, or something special for yourself," Lauren explains. Her passion for curating exceptional pieces is evident in every corner of Hive Interiors, where carefully selected items adorn the shelves, each reflecting the aesthetic of her brand.
"Everything inside of Hive Interiors is carefully thought of and curated to fit the aesthetic of my brand," Lauren emphasizes. "If I don’t love it, I will not sell it." This dedication to quality and uniqueness sets Hive Interiors apart, offering clientele an unparalleled shopping experience.
From holiday flower capsules to trend-setting designs, Lauren draws inspiration from her surroundings and personal mood. "I always go off of the 'mood' I'm in," she shares. "It all depends on how I’m feeling." This personalized approach ensures that every creation from Hive Interiors is infused with authenticity and creativity.
As a new business owner, Lauren has learned invaluable lessons about perseverance and resilience. "There is no such thing as emotions in business," she affirms. "You have to figure out a way regardless of how you feel." Embracing discomfort and pushing boundaries have been key to her success, along with building a strong online presence and engaging with the local community.
Hive Interiors offers experiences that are truly unique, from hand-tied flower wraps at the Carefree Farmers Market to floral workshops and luxury florals exclusively available in-store. Lauren's commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of her business, from sourcing organically grown flowers to minimizing environmental impact in her designs.
"My goal for Hive is to continue to serve the community with elevated floral designs and grow my lifestyle boutique," Lauren shares. "I love holidays and what they signify, and my hope is to inspire you to celebrate with beautiful things."
Beyond business aspirations, Lauren cherishes the balance between motherhood and entrepreneurship. "Being a mom and business owner bear similar weight – they both take hard work, time management, the ability to multitask, and the will to survive," she reflects.
In celebration of Mother's Day, Hive Interiors is hosting a bouquet and bruschetta workshop on May 11th. "Moms deserve to be celebrated!" Lauren exclaims. The workshop promises a delightful experience where participants can create floral arrangements and learn to use edible flowers on canapés, guided by Chef Sean from Black Mountain Cafe.
As Lauren continues to nurture her dream of multiple Hive Interiors locations and sustainable practices, her journey serves as an inspiration to women everywhere. Through dedication, passion, and unwavering belief, she exemplifies the spirit of entrepreneurship and the power of following one's dreams.
