ho can resist the transformation of a remarkably remodeled home? Springtime is the perfect season to start thinking about your own dream home makeover—and with the rising cost of new housing in South Florida, reinventing your home may be the smartest move you make in 2022. In Coconut Grove, KitchenLab Interiors took a dark, outdated house that seemed out of place on the expansive waterfront and breathed life back into it through the use of vibrant colors, interesting patterns and prints and natural materials. The goal for co-founding principal Rebekah Zaveloff and her team was to infuse the home with a casual luxury inspired by the owner’s world travels. Zaveloff’s clients purchased the five-bedroom, 10,000-square-foot home as a vacation destination for their blended family. With swimming and sunning as top priorities, the owners wanted the home to be comfortable and easy, but with a sprinkle of lavish finishes and details—a place where carefree kids, relaxed adults, wet bathing suits, bare feet, laughter and family fun would be welcomed. Like the casual chic resort wear that’s inspired by the breezy charm of European towns like Amalfi and Positano, Zaveloff was keen on curating an eclectic bohemian home that was practical but that still reflected Miami’s glittering glamour.

The Thayer Coggin velvet sofas, which are high up on their legs, add a sculptural element to the room while still having a low back to ensure the water views are not blocked from any part of the room.
