Beginning with her eponymous interior design company, McCann Design Group, Sara McCann has grown her Hive brand into a multi-functioning collective that includes all aspects of design, furniture, clothing, floral, kids and even the occasional croissant. All filtered through one defining lens and disseminated to a team that shares a belief in that singular vision, working in harmony to create unique looks start to stop, bottom to top. Almost like a hive mind.<\/p>\n

Opened in 2013, Hive Home, Gift, and Garden was born out of a designer\u2019s needs. \u201cWith so many of our interior design jobs at that time there was no place to go to for that last ten percent of the project, the finishing details and accessories,\u201d Sara explains, \u201cThe Hive home store was born of that necessity.\u201d<\/p>\n

It truly is an all-in-one design stop and shop, with the added feature that anything purchased in the store can be delivered to the buyer that same day. Furniture, lighting, and accessories are curated and arranged in vignettes so people can get a vision of what it would look like in their own space. The entire selection of products for sale are vetted by Sara. In fact, the motto of the enterprise is \u201cSara wouldn\u2019t put anything in the home store that she wouldn\u2019t put in her own home.\u201d<\/p>\n

It only takes a brief glance to immediately see that the multitude of offerings share an aesthetic DNA. There are lots of whites and neutrals as well as the signature Hive green which pops up throughout the various rooms and buildings, from the playful circus tent green and white stripes in Hive for Kids, to the bakery where it partners with dark walnut and brass, to the giant tropical mural spanning the side of Hive Home.<\/p>\n

Just down the street from the central hub on South Dixie Highway is the Hive Trade Showroom which also includes the Southeast Florida showroom for Hickory Chair. Inside are exclusive lines of customizable fabrics, wallcoverings, trim, furniture, lighting, and rugs \u2013 all hand-picked by Sara and her team. \u201cThe ocean and lush landscaping of our beautiful, tropical environment always influences our choices \u2013 especially with fabrics,\u201d Sara informs.<\/p>\n

Speaking of new and exciting, Sara has already decided on Hive\u2019s next trajectory, a space further down Dixie Highway south of Southern to be called Pure by Hive. Opening late fall, Pure will offer a more contemporary aesthetic, not quite modern but with updated, clean lines and new vendors targeting a younger demographic. \u201cWe\u2019re noticing clients want a cleaner aesthetic,\u201d Sara says, \u201cthey\u2019re choosing more contemporary or transitional furniture.\u201d And her advice for those Florida newcomers? \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to start fresh with furniture choices and color palette.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough we work primarily in Palm Beach, we are fortunate to have projects in Kennebunkport, Southampton, Lake Geneva, and Birmingham,\u201d Sara announces. The Hive mind is expanding.<\/p>\n
