Lavish and Lavara

The high-end interior design firm opens a new showroom in South Florida.

A genuine love and curiosity for art and interior design have blossomed into a true South Florida success story. Husband-wife duo Warren and Nicole Lahoud are the masterminds of Lavara, a Boca Raton-based purveyor of luxury furniture, art, décor, lighting, rugs, and everything in between.

The Lahouds say revenue has exceeded more than $4 million in the last two years and they now have a staff of seven. The company primarily helps bedazzle residences in the $5 million-plus range but has been known to offer furnishing services within residences less than $1 million and even the mega-est of yachts.

In early 2025, the now home-based business will open its first physical location at some super-prime real estate. Lavara will occupy a 3,600-square-foot space at 550 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, across the street from the ever-popular RH West Palm home furnishings store.

Warren Lahoud says of the store, “it will have an atelier feel, like you’re walking into a home rather than a retail business. It will be a place to explore our services, samples and to have appointments. It is literally putting us on the map and will allow us to showcase our products even easier.”

Lavara primarily collaborates with Italian artisans, sourcing some of the most rare and exquisite brands for its clients. It is also an exclusive furniture seller of Elie Saab, a Lebanese-born fashion designer who’s become a household name in the haute couture space. Additional brand partners include Turri Furniture and Arte Venezia.

A testament to the intricate details that Lavara dabbles in: It is the exclusive supplier of Inoxstyle showers in the United States. Inoxstyle has outdoor, wall-mountable, and yacht showers that may be purchased and installed in the $5,000-plus range—they are becoming that much more of a norm within the finer South Florida backyard spaces. Additionally, Lavara offers services including laying out the design elements of a home, encompassing staging, finishes, and elegant touches in between.

“We like scenarios that are a challenge,” says Nicole Lahoud. “We can redo an entire yacht, work within different architectural elements and with ideas in someone’s imagination and more. We are not people who say no and walk away. We are always willing to find a solution, and sometimes it’s a different one, to get things done.”

For fans of Lavara’s high-end Italian vibe, the company isn’t stopping here. The Lahouds are currently partnering with developers in the luxury space to offer “turn-key, walk-in solutions to allow clients to buy fully-finished residences.” The Lahouds say a 20-condo/apartment property they are collaborating within West Palm Beach is slated to break ground this November.

The ultimate goal is to further build the Lavara brand, extending into other avenues of decór and possibly, one day, even into lifestyle elements like fine soaps and bath towels. Perhaps Nicole Lahoud explained it best when saying, “This is just the beginning for us.”
