Renata was featured in Architectural Digest in 2018 for her work on Shakira's Miami Beach home renovation, the North Bay Road Project. She works closely with each client and only accepts a handful of projects at a time. This allows Renata to listen to every detail of what is needed and wanted to then create a custom tailored design solution appropriate for your house and your family. Her design approach is always sensitive to the location of the project and usually translates to a naturalist minimalism which blends natural textures and contemporary elements with iconic forms and traditional details to create layers of meaning in the interiors. This approach allows Trace to work with a variety of styles (from contemporary to transitional) and create more timeless and unique designs. On a practical level, Trace coordinates all aspects of your project from beginning to end, design and project management, so you can have a trusted partner throughout the entire process. Trace charges an hourly design fee and does not charge commission on materials or installations. Working with Trace gives clients access to not only hundreds of luxury and mid-tier vendors but also a network of trusted South Florida craftsmen and contractors that Renata has personally been working with for over 14 years in the industry at Trace as well as other award winning local firms. ### Services Provided - Interior Design - Kitchen Design - Bathroom Design - Living Room Design - Bedroom Design - Space Planning - Furniture Selection - Kids Bedroom Design - Dining Room Design - Lighting Design - Home Office Design & Construction - Custom Built-ins - Design Consultation - Floor Plans - Entry Design - Playroom Design - Custom Furniture - Nursery Design - Art Selection - 3D Rendering - Sustainable Design - Drafting ### Areas Served - Miami - Miami Beach - Kendall - Doral - North Miami - Fountainebleau - Coral Gables - Palmetto Bay - Coconut Grove - Pinecrest - Cutler - Key Biscayne - Sunset - Miami Springs - South Miami - Miami Shores - North Bay Village - Surfside - South Beach - Biscayne Park - Bal Harbour - Fisher Island ### Typical Job Cost Trace charges an hourly design fee and does not charge commission on materials or installations.

She is very professional and has a lot of great design ideas. What we liked the most about working with Renata was her commitment with our timing and budget as well as her attention to details. She supported us in a number of different ways, from recommendations for material selection, definition of color options for paining, furniture and decoration, lighting ideas and even added some final touch with plants, flowers and ornaments. She has also been extremely supportive with coordinating the work and deliveries with third party contractors and vendors. We are very happy with the results! **Comment from Trace Design Studio:** > Luiz, > > Thank you so much for your review! It was truly a pleasure helping you and your wife decorate your home. I hope you have been enjoying it with your friends & family and hosting to your own clients as well. It always brings me such a sense of joy and fulfillment to hear a client is happy with the results and with the process of working together! I hope you guys are doing great! > > Best always, > > Renata **★★★★★ — Marcela Garbers, Oct. 2016** > My husband and I recently moved to a new house and hired Trace Design Studios to design our kids bedrooms. Let me just say that he and I had VERY different ideas of what we wanted for the rooms, but Renata was able to bring it all together in an outstanding way. Renata was not only able to bring our ideas to life, but her sophisticated taste made the rooms one of a kind. We were working with an extremely short timeline and she was outstanding in making sure all was being done on time and within our budget. I cannot recommend her enough. She is already working on another project for family. **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2015** > Design Whyte Interiors has had the opportunity to collaborate with Trace Design Studio on several residential interior renovation Projects in the Miami area, including a large professional chef's kitchen for a private client; a mid-century transformation of a living, dining & kitchen on a waterway; a get-away apartment in Sunny Isles for a Brazilian couple; and most recently a master bathroom & guest bathroom renovation in Key Biscayne. This firm has their clients' goals at the forefront & works hard to make the construction process as seamless as possible. Trace has a great aesthetic that marries edgy & classy in a fresh & bright way,- always bringing a unique & personal feel to each space. We are looking forward to our next collaboration! **★★★★★ — paulogait, Nov. 2015** > Trace Design Studio provided excellent service and peace of mind. They understood our vision and were able to make it real. The highly motivated personnel were on point with the time frame and budget of our project. Even when there was a hurdle, they were able to work around it and get the job done. I highly recommend Trace Design Studio! **Comment from Trace Design Studio:** > Dear Paulo, > Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy to hear we were able to meet your expectations. It was a pleasure helping you with the design and decor of your condo! > Warm regards, > Renata Bastos **★★★★★ — rosanasfilho, Nov. 2015** > Trace Design Studio is led by the extremely talented, Renata Bastos. Her fresh and innovative design style keeps current and allows her to customize to anyone's unique taste. Renata and I were colleagues at a boutique firm before she ventured off to pursue her own company, where she continues to surprise and impress me with her professionalism and creativity. Trace Design Studio's team produces beautiful work that leaves happy clients and I would highly recommend them! **Comment from Trace Design Studio:** > Dear Rosana, > Thank you so much for your feedback!

I cherish the experiences and apply the lessons learned daily here at Trace. I wish you all the best always! > Warm regards, > Renata Bastos **★★★★★ — sadia\_raja, July 2015** > Renata at trace design studio was exactly what we needed for our historic, 1920's house. She was efficient, understood exactly what we wanted and met deadlines. She worked around our crazy work and children's schedule and was always pleasant and calm. We actually hired her for 2 projects. One in 2014 and the other in 2015. > Hoping to use her again! **Comment from Trace Design Studio:** > Dear Sadia, > Thank you so much for your review!! I really enjoyed getting to know you and your family throughout the past year and decorating your beautiful historic home inspired by Andalusian architecture and interiors. Most of all it makes me so happy and fulfilled to know that you are enjoying the spaces we designed! I also look forward to continuing working together in the future!! > Best wishes to you and the family, > Renata Bastos ## Selected projects - [North Bay Road Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-bay-road-residence-pj-vj~6598234) - Location: Miami Beach, FL - Photos: 3 - Description: Shakira's Miami Beach home renovation featured in Architectural Digest 2018 - [Key Biscayne Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/key-biscayne-residence-pj-vj~1520351) - Location: Miami, FL - Photos: 8 - Description: TRACE \| WHYTE DESIGN COLLABORATION Designed in collaboration with DESIGN WHYTE Photography by: Daniel Rodriguez - [Weston Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/weston-residence-pj-vj~6598217) - Location: Weston, FL - Photos: 1 - [Biscayne Beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/biscayne-beach-pj-vj~7152418) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/trace-design-studio-pfvwus-pf~1795220518) ## Ideabooks - [THE LIVING ROOM](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2288155/list/the-living-room) — 21 ideas - [THE DINING ROOM](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3186384/list/the-dining-room) — 9 ideas - [THE KITCHEN](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3331986/list/the-kitchen) — 19 ideas - [THE LIBRARY](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56685874/list/the-library) — 12 ideas - [THE OFFICE](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3332519/list/the-office) — 8 ideas - [THE BEDROOM](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3255497/list/the-bedroom) — 17 ideas - [THE KID'S ROOM](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56683367/list/the-kid-s-room) — 11 ideas - [THE GREAT OUTDOORS](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3332033/list/the-great-outdoors) — 20 ideas - [RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3332301/list/residential-architecture) — 13 ideas - [STAIRWAYS](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3332558/list/stairways) — 5 ideas - [TRIM](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28530455/list/trim) — 4 ideas [See all 11 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/tracedesignstudio) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
