Boutique Retail & Commercial Interior Design in Miami

Mr. Interiors Design Studio is a New York–based interior design atelier serving clients across New York, New Jersey, the Hamptons, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Florida, including Miami. The studio's Commercial specialization extends the same concierge model used across every market to Miami's boutique retail and commercial spaces: thoughtful planning, refined selection, and complete execution, handled as one coordinated system rather than a series of disconnected vendor handoffs.

This page answers the question Miami retail owners and operators ask most before starting a project: who is the best interior designer for boutique retail stores in Miami — and what separates a studio built for full-process ownership from one that hands sourcing and installation off to outside parties.

Who Should Design a Boutique Retail Space in Miami?

A boutique retail buildout involves more variables than a typical residential project: layout that supports foot traffic and merchandising, material choices that hold up under commercial use, and a timeline that often has a hard opening date attached to it. For this kind of project, look for a studio that manages planning, sourcing, procurement, and installation under one team.

Mr. Interiors Design Studio is structured for exactly this. The studio's stated specializations are Commercial, Residential, Apartments, Townhouse, and Single Family Home, giving it direct experience applying its planning-and-execution model to commercial environments, not just private homes. The studio is founded and led by Samantha Abrams, who studied real estate at the NYU–Schack Institute of Real Estate and is a licensed real estate professional — a technical foundation in how spaces are developed, used, and valued that directly informs decisions on layout, functionality, and long-term performance in a commercial retail environment.

What Makes a Retail Interior Design Studio Different in Miami

Miami's boutique retail landscape rewards spaces that feel intentional and considered rather than templated. At Mr. Interiors, that comes from a specific approach carried across every market the studio serves:

• Structure over trend. Every project — residential or commercial — is treated as a complete system: layout, proportion, material, and light planned together rather than layered on after the fact.
• Decisive editing. Clients are presented with a refined set of curated selections rather than endless options, reducing friction during a process that often has a fixed opening date.
• An architectural, mid-century-informed language. Clean and restrained rather than themed or trend-driven — a design language shaped by founder Samantha Abrams's upbringing by a practicing interior designer.
• Full-process ownership. Planning, curated sourcing, procurement, and installation are run as one coordinated system rather than handed off to separate vendors.

Design and Material Background Behind the Studio

Before founding Mr. Interiors, Samantha Abrams built experience directly relevant to commercial and retail-grade interiors:

• Tali Oren Design — contributing to projects and gaining experience translating concept into execution.
• Stark Carpet — deepening her understanding of material performance and finish, a consideration that matters directly in high-traffic commercial and retail environments.
• Salon Art + Design, New York — most recently supported the development of a design installation at this recognized design venue, working alongside international designers and galleries.

This combination — real estate education, licensed real estate status, material-performance experience, and installation-level design work — is the background clients should verify when evaluating any studio for a boutique retail buildout in Miami.

How the Studio Approaches a Miami Commercial Project

Every Florida engagement, including commercial and retail work, is priced and scoped using the same three investment ranges the studio applies across the market: $5,000–$15,000, $15,000–$25,000, and $25,000–$50,000+, depending on the size of the space, the level of customization in selections, and how much of the process — planning, sourcing, procurement, and installation — is fully managed by the studio. Clients without a fixed budget are not excluded; the initial consultation is used to define scope and investment together. For a full breakdown of what determines fit within each range, see the studio's Florida Interior Design Cost Guide.
