South Florida is unlike anywhere else in the world. With its turquoise coastlines, year-round sunshine, and a cultural tapestry woven from Latin American, Caribbean, and European influences, the region has long attracted homeowners with a taste for the extraordinary.
From the gleaming high-rise condos of Miami Beach to the sprawling estate homes of Weston and Southwest Ranches, South Florida living is defined by an elevated standard — and nowhere is that standard more visible than in the interiors of its finest residences.
The Unique Design Demands of South Florida Living
Interior design in South Florida carries demands unlike those found in almost any other American market. The climate calls for materials that resist humidity and salt air.
The culture demands spaces that flow seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living. And the cosmopolitan character of cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raton attracts residents who have traveled the world and bring refined, global tastes to their homes.
Great interior design in this environment goes far beyond selecting furniture and paint colors.
It is about crafting environments that reflect the personalities of the people who live in them while honoring the unique spirit of South Florida itself.
It is about transforming a house — or a condominium — into a sanctuary where families gather, memories are made, and every detail tells a story.
That is precisely the philosophy at the heart of Casa Velasquez Interiors, South Florida’s premier boutique luxury interior design firm.
Casa Velasquez Interiors: A Legacy of Luxury Design
Founded by sisters Jenny Velasquez and Patty Lustig, Casa Velasquez Interiors has built a reputation as the go-to design firm for discerning homeowners across South Florida and beyond.
With over 30 years of combined experience, the two principals bring a rare combination of formal expertise, cultural depth, and deeply personal client service to every project they undertake.
Jenny Velasquez, the founding principal of the firm, grew up in Lima, Peru — a city rich in history, stunning architecture, and vibrant artisan traditions.
Her South American roots gave her a lifelong appreciation for beauty in all its forms, and her love of travel has only deepened her understanding of global aesthetics.
After relocating to South Florida to pursue her education and professional aspirations, Jenny established Casa Velasquez Interiors and has since personally overseen every stage of each design project, from the initial inspiration session to the dramatic final reveal.
Patty Lustig brings her own bold and eclectic approach to the firm. Also a native of Lima, Peru, Patty is known for masterfully blending cultural influences with luxurious design elements to craft interiors that exude sophistication.
Based in both Washington, D.C., and South Florida, she has developed particular expertise in transforming investment properties and vacation homes into showpiece residences. Her client relationships speak for themselves — many return to commission second and third homes with her.
Together, the two sisters have built something truly special: a boutique firm with the resources and expertise of a large studio, but the personalized attention and passion of a family business.

Their portfolio of completed projects tells the full story: sophisticated waterfront condos on Miami Beach, outdoor oases in Southwest Ranches, transitional family homes in Lighthouse Point, and contemporary living spaces throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties.
A Philosophy Built on Listening
What sets Casa Velasquez Interiors apart in a crowded luxury design market is not just their technical expertise or their impeccable taste — it is their deeply client-centered philosophy. The firm believes that the best designs begin with listening: truly understanding each client’s lifestyle, personality, and vision before a single design decision is made.
Clients consistently praise this approach. One South Florida homeowner described the experience as “fun and painless,” noting that Jenny “instantly got me — and I hardly get myself.”
Another client in Aventura raved that she guided them “through the whole process, respecting our taste but bringing beautiful new ideas.”
And Patty’s Washington, D.C., clients speak with equal enthusiasm about her perfectionism, punctuality, and ability to orchestrate seamless transformations.
The firm’s signature “big reveal” — in which clients leave for the day while the team installs and styles the completed space — has become legendary among their clientele. Time and again, clients describe coming home to something that exceeded even their highest expectations.
Elevating South Florida, One Home at a Time
In a region defined by beauty, ambition, and a culture that embraces the art of living well, great interior design is not a luxury — it is a natural extension of the South Florida lifestyle.
It is what transforms a condominium tower unit into a sophisticated urban retreat, or a sprawling suburban home into a warm and welcoming family sanctuary.
Casa Velasquez Interiors has been doing exactly that for decades, bringing passion, creativity, and world-class expertise to luxury homes and condos throughout South Florida and across the United States. For homeowners who believe their living spaces should be as extraordinary as their lives, there is simply no better partner.
