Miami’s design scene is famously dense — warm minimalism, tropical maximalism, and everything in between, all competing for the same waterfront condos and Coral Gables estates. Narrowing that list down to firms actually worth your consultation call takes some digging. Here are seven standout interior design companies serving Miami and South Florida right now, starting with the one setting the pace.
1. Casa Velasquez Interiors
Casa Velasquez Interiors tops this list for a reason: it’s a boutique studio that still operates like one, even as its reputation has grown. Founded by sisters Jenny Velasquez and Patty Lustig, the firm brings a combined background rooted in Latin, European, and Caribbean influences, and it shows in the finished spaces — layered, warm, and unmistakably tied to Miami’s identity rather than a generic luxury template.
What sets Casa Velasquez apart is the range of services under one roof. The team handles everything from initial consultation and space planning through custom millwork, walk-in closets, kitchen and bathroom design, home staging, and full turnkey installation. They also bring practical, Miami-specific expertise that’s easy to overlook until it matters: material selection built to withstand humidity and salt air, and working knowledge of condo board and HOA approval processes that can stall a project for months if handled by someone unfamiliar with them.
The firm has built a strong track record along the way, including Best of Houzz recognition and a run of five-star client reviews across Houzz and Facebook, with projects spanning Coral Gables estates, Miami Beach condos, and full residential remodels. Co-principals stay directly involved in each project rather than handing it off to junior staff once the contract is signed, which is part of why so many clients come back for a second room or a second home. You can see examples of their residential work and service breakdown on Casa Velasquez’s Miami page.
2. DKOR Interiors
Founded in 2004 by Ivonne Ronderos, DKOR has grown into one of the more established full-service firms in the Miami area, with residential and commercial work that extends beyond South Florida. The studio is known for transparent communication around budgets and timelines, which is a common pain point in high-end design work.
3. Britto Charette
Based in Wynwood with a second studio in New York, Britto Charette is a licensed architecture and interior design firm led by Jay Britto and David Charette. The firm publishes clear minimum project budgets — useful for clients trying to gauge fit before a first call — and delivers full turnkey builds for luxury residential clients.
4. Pepe Calderin Design
With more than two decades in the industry and a presence in both Miami and New York, Pepe Calderin Design focuses on high-energy, modern interiors for residential and commercial spaces. The firm has built an international client base, particularly across Latin America, and is known for bold, contemporary aesthetics rather than traditional Florida coastal looks.
5. B+G Design
Led by husband-and-wife team Brett and Giselle Loor Sugerman, B+G Design brings over 40 years of combined experience to private residences, hospitality venues, and commercial spaces around Miami. The studio is known for long-term client relationships, with many families returning for multiple properties over the years.
6. Sarah Z Designs
Founded in 2009, Sarah Z Designs leans into biophilic, water-inspired interiors — think layered natural light, greenery, and ocean-toned palettes. The multilingual team specializes in high-end residential work and has built a reputation for turning coastal properties into calm, cohesive retreats rather than overly staged showpieces.
7. Bea Interiors Design
Founded in 2012 by Bea Pernia, this Miami-based studio offers full-service design across residential, boutique hospitality, and commercial projects. Bea’s hands-on involvement in each project is frequently cited by clients as a differentiator, particularly for homeowners who want a single point of contact throughout.
Choosing the Right Fit
The firms on this list range from large, award-heavy studios to smaller, founder-led operations — and the right choice usually comes down to how involved you want the principal designer to be, what your budget minimums look like, and whether your project needs Miami-specific expertise like hurricane-grade materials or condo board navigation. Casa Velasquez Interiors stands out on that last point in particular, which is a big part of why it leads this list. Whichever firm you choose, request a portfolio review and a clear fee structure before signing anything — the best Miami designers are used to that question and will have a ready answer.
