INSPIRATIONAL INTERIORS “The couple was moving to Miami from Mexico within a six-month time frame, and we were asked to create their dream home by the time they arrived,” proclaims Ivonne Ronderos owner of DKOR Interiors. They brought us images they’d pulled from magazines to articulate their style. An airy modernity, ample light from unmasked windows and a clear relationship to natural surroundings were obvious themes. The couple’s wish list included interiors that would handle three rambunctious sons under 10 years of age while excluding sophistication; a home that would make a large sit-down dinners a pleasure; and lush surroundings that would complement the usdated residence. Taking spaces filled with traditional architectual elements and darkhues, including deep-toned flooring in many of the rooms, and making them amiable to modernism wasn’t an easy task, but Ivonne Ronderos and her team,   forged onward under the unforgiving deadline. First on on list was the melding of the former living and dining rooms into one space, creating the illuminated, open feel the homeowners craved.
