About Flux

Homewares, Furniture & Interior Design Store in Mount Maunganui

Flux is a Mount Maunganui–based homewares and interior design store offering curated furniture, home décor, lighting, and gifts inspired by Scandinavian simplicity and the relaxed New Zealand coastal lifestyle.

Born from a quiet idea, Flux was created with the belief that happiness is not found in more things, but in meaningful moments, beautiful spaces, and the gentle rhythm of everyday life. We design and curate for homes that feel calm, intentional, and deeply personal.

Rooted in the serene clarity of Scandinavian design and the grounded, salt-kissed spirit of the New Zealand coast, Flux is more than a homeware store. It is a considered collection of pieces chosen to bring balance, warmth, and quiet joy into everyday living.

A Homewares Store Designed for Real Life

We believe your surroundings should evolve with you. Change, whether a seasonal refresh, a thoughtful new piece, or a full room transformation, does not need to cost the earth and can be surprisingly simple.

Our Mount Maunganui boutique and online store are updated weekly, with new furniture, décor, lighting, and gift pieces arriving regularly. Each item is selected for its quality, longevity, and ability to sit comfortably within a calm, cohesive home.

Flux specialises in timeless design that works hard and lives beautifully.

A Brand Built on Thoughtful Design

Flux was founded by interior designer Emma Walsh and her husband, furniture maker Josh Speeden, from a shared love of design, craftsmanship, and discovery.

Emma’s background in Architectural Design (B.Arch) and Interior Design (Dip.Int.Des) shaped Flux into what it is today: a destination for thoughtfully curated furniture, home décor, lighting, and gifts sourced from local and international makers.

Every piece in store is chosen with intention, favouring natural textures, neutral palettes, and refined craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
