Flax Interiors is Celebrating 5 Years!
As the year comes to a close, I'm taking a moment to look back on the past five years of Flax Interiors.
In honor of Flax Interiors' five-year anniversary, we're celebrating with wood, the traditional material associated with this milestone. Wood is foundational to both design and construction and the way spaces make us feel.
A bit of design psychology -- wood has been shown to reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), lower heart rate and blood pressure, and improve focus, comfort, and overall well-being. It's a core element of biophilic design, which connects spaces, and the people living in them, to nature. Studies across offices, schools, and healthcare environments consistently show that wood-rich spaces promote relaxation and positive health outcomes. Wood is essential to design and our health!
I'm deeply grateful for every lesson, collaborator, and client who has trusted me over the last 5 years. Like wood, Flax Interiors has been strengthened, refined, and beautifully patinaed over time and is only getting better with age.
We look forward to continuing to design spaces and building a business that feels rooted, thoughtful, and alive into 2026 and beyond.
