10-Year Anniversary

Over the last 10 years, Freedom Interiors has seen many changes and growth. But one thing has remained the same: commitment to the priorities that Carol Espinosa set forth from day one.  Freedom started with the idea that growth is only possible and worth it if shared with others.

Freedom Interiors’ story started on 01/15/2011 with filling out applications and a big dream of our founder, Carol Espinosa. Like any small business, we had humble beginnings working from a home office and knocking on any door that would answer the call (and many that wouldn’t). After a lot of hard work and hustle, Freedom landed its big break with the Kansas City Public School District.  In the summer of 2013, Freedom provided furnishings for two high schools and built a relationship that would alter the course of the company forever.

Community Involvement

Creating better learning environments is a passion of ours, no matter if it’s a physical or emotional environment.  Doing our part to better our community through various organizations is a part of Freedom Interior’s DNA. Our commitment to being reading mentors for Lead to Read has helped children with their literacy needs while providing role models for students in the KC metro area.  What child doesn’t need another grown up rooting for their academic success?

Dunn Family Foundation partnered with Freedom for a project Connection to Success

Throughout the years, we have successfully outfitted many classrooms and non-profits with donations of various learning furniture with the Free2Learn Foundation and support from the Dunn Family Foundation. These initiatives have helped build better physical learning environments for countless students by giving them a space to thrive in an educational environment. In addition, we are committed to hosting events and education workshops for non-profits such as Startland and our partners at Lead to Read, as providing space for fundraising and to give local teachers tools to inspire innovation in our community is important to our culture.

Our Offices and Showroom

Freedom’s first commercial space was a small office near 18th and Vine, which we quickly outgrew.  From there, we moved to the Blue Hills Contractor Incubator Building on 50th & Prospect Avenue. While in the incubator, Freedom started curating a team of talent to help build our brand while fostering a creative environment.

In 2018 Freedom Interiors moved into our current showroom office located at the old Westport Post Office building in Kansas City, MO, after a year-long renovation that was designed and managed by Clockwork and JE Dunn Construction, and working with as many Women- and Minority-Owned local subcontractors as we could, such as Hart Construction. Every square inch of our building was touched during construction to keep all the charm of the 1920’s building but bring the space into the 21st century.  The outcome was worth the hard work and the wait: our showroom is the perfect place for us to show off education and commercial furnishings, as well as being a great environment for our team to work from.

Herman Miller

A milestone moment for Freedom was when Herman Miller, one of the top commercial furniture manufacturers in the country, selected Freedom Interiors to be a distribution partner in the summer of 2019. This opportunity has allowed us to expand our reach and work with talented designers, architects and customers.

Freedom Interiors could not have made it this far without the support of our outstanding clients and partners. Thank you for a wonderful ten years and we can’t wait to see what the next ten years will bring!
