Our Awards
We felt informed and supported throughout our decision making and are absolutely thrilled with the end result!
We worked with TEW to help us remodel our kitchen, living room, and dining area in our 1960s split level home in Raleigh. Rima and Frances met with us many times throughout the course of our project. They really listened to what we were looking for and incorporated all of our priorities into their design. Throughout the process Rima and her team were organized, communicative, and transparent. All of the contractors and sub-contractors that were chosen by TEW did fantastic work. We encountered a few unexpected structural issues once demo was complete, but TEW walked us through our options and were very clear about how the timeline and budget would be impacted in each scenario. We would highly recommend TEW to anyone looking for help with designing or renovating their home and look forward to working with them again ourselves in the future!
We loved working with this team—they were worth every penny!
Stephanie created a stunning kitchen design that was truly customized to enhance our real life. She asked great questions —honoring the input in a way that always made us feel understood. They respected our budget and it never impacted the quality of the design. When unexpected twists occurred during construction, the TEW team was eager to help problem solve and approached it as an exciting challenge rather than an inconvenience.
When I stand in my new kitchen, it feels like an expression of my heart. Not only did TEW design a space built for functionality, they created a kitchen that feels like a permanent home.If we had to do it all over again, we would definitely hire TEW again!
We hired TEW Design Studio to design new office space for our organization. The process took almost an entire year and thank goodness we hired TEW. They were so helpful in our early conversations with the folks hired by the landlord and advocated for us multiple times.
Our office is perfect and beyond what we ever envisioned! It was important to us that our office space was airy, welcoming, and an embodiment of our mission and values. TEW worked hard to do that for us and the results are wonderful. The furniture is stunning and sturdy. The artwork is amazing. The vendors that Tew used were all so professional and did excellent work.We absolutely love the final result and loved working with the team!
We worked with TEW in fall 2023 to update the house we recently purchased. We cannot recommend them enough. The entire team is brilliant and the design updates to our house went above and beyond what we had hoped for. They listened to our needs and preferences and made recommendations that incorporated our thoughts with innovative and creative design elements. We absolutely love the final result and loved working with the team.
We would (and plan to) absolutely work with them again in the future!
We worked with Tew to redesign our kitchen, and they were fantastic! They took our very rough vision for what we wanted and needed our kitchen to be for a growing family and turned it into something both visually stunning and wonderfully more functional. They were a pleasure to work with from the design phase, through helping us find a contractor, on to putting in the final touches once all the building and installing was completed.
TEW was consistently professional while also familiar and we were really happy with the results!
The TEW team recently completed a major remodel of our primary bathroom and closet. They were very attentive to our inspiration photos, and blended their own design sense seamlessly with our likes in coming up with a design we couldn’t have imagined on our own. They coordinated with their network of contractors so we had peace of mind in who came in and out of our home during the course of the project.
I cannot recommend them enough!
The onset of the pandemic meant a lot of turmoil for office space. We had downsized and shed a lot of furniture, but our work was expanding. We had moved into a new space with new people, and TEW stepped in to help us navigate our office design in a way that brought much needed beauty.
They were such a pleasure to work with I ended up working with them again on my home as we went through a kitchen redesign.I would recommend Tew to anyone who is looking to redesign any space in their home or business!
We have worked with Rima and the TEW team on 3 different projects over the last 5 years. I cannot say enough good things about Rima and her team. They have a fantastic eye for design and are able to put their signature touch on a project while also honoring their client’s style. They are very communicative and work hard to ensure their client’s satisfaction every step of the way. We have been absolutely thrilled with our spaces after working with the TEW Team. Our new kitchen is a dream and our new favorite spot in the house.
I’m delighted with Rima and her team, and I love this new home!
We purchased a home in the area but were not scheduled to move in right away. I didn’t want to move a lot of furniture from the West Coast (our Pasadena bungalow stuff just didn’t fit the mid-century modern of the new house). So I did something I had not done before — hire TEW Design Studio to help me figure out how to furnish the new house and refurbish and refresh some of the features that either didn’t suit our taste or seemed a bit old-fashioned. TEW Design Studio was recommended to us by our realtor, and they handled every aspect of the project beautifully. They always worked with our budget, and they worked to get a sense of our own specific aesthetic.
They gave us many options when it came to key pieces of furniture, and they coordinated those things that we intended to bring with us into their vision of the key spaces of the house (LR, DR, Master BR, Kitchen). Their selections for key pieces of furniture, light fixtures, paint colors, and floor treatments were spectacular. For that reason, on those few occasions when I was a little doubtful of what they proposed, I made the decision to defer to their design judgment (which was the whole point, right?). Not surprisingly, virtually every one of those instances proved they were right.
We are thrilled with the work, which was done on time, on budget, and with very high quality of workmanship. The success of that first project encouraged us to begin a guest bathroom remodel, which is already looking amazing. Every day we wake up in spaces that are beautiful, comfortable, and really functional.Highly recommend them and look forward to partnering with them again!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with TEW and plan on partnering with them again in the future. They designed a playroom for our two little girls while also making it a fun place for parents to hang out. They took an in-law suite and totally reconfigured it, bringing unique ideas and vision.
Before entering the process, I was admittedly a little hesitant about hiring someone to do this for us, but TEW outperformed in every way. They had unique ideas, sourced great and tasteful furniture and selections, and did an awesome job storing everything and getting it installed. During installation, a table didn’t meet their standards, and they handled getting it refinished and brought it back another day. By partnering with TEW, we got a functional layout, great design and accents, fantastic furniture, and all within our budget.Our clients have raved about the changes and our team as well!
Rima and her team transformed our salon (Samuel Cole Salon) space in 2018/2019 and we simply could not be happier with the results. We updated the flooring, cabinetry, and lighting. Rima has such amazing taste and ideas. She is great at collaborating with clients. She was also mindful to stay within our budget and has an amazing list of talented craftspersons that she works with. We just signed up to have her help with another project within the salon. If you want an excellent experience and top-notch professionalism then we urge you to reach out to Rima and Tew Design Studio.
They were so easy to work with and allowed me to share my likes/ ideas!
My home is only 6 years old and I made several attempts to decorate on my own, never making the right decisions. I finally chose to go with Tew Design Studio and couldn’t be happier. Rima and her team truly transformed my living room/ kitchen space, making it bright and all come together perfectly. I highly recommend and can’t wait to use them again for my upstairs!!
Give them a call, you won’t be disappointed!!!

🎉 A big happy birthday to our very own, Janae! 🌻
She turned 29 yesterday, and we`re so grateful for the energy she brings to our office. Janae is a creative powerhouse, known for her seamless, soft designs that bring a sense of calm to any home. What we love even more is how she fills our days with laughter and is a voice for the things the rest of us might shy away from (and making us giggle in the process).

Cheers to 29, Janae! 🥂✨

Design starts with big dreams and the awe of options. Then reality sneaks in and budgets stretch, timelines shift, and suddenly you’re asking yourself, “why did I start this again?”
• When optimism fades → TEW brings fresh perspective.
• When delays pop up → TEW keep projects moving.
• When the budget bites → TEW knows how to prioritize.
• When doubt sets in → TEW can give back confidence in your choices.
Because the truth is, design should feel exciting, but managing the details can leave you frustrated. We’ll guide you from overwhelm to “oh wow” every single time. 😉

Ever notice how some of the nicest places forget even the simplest of details…like a hook for your purse? It’s been a running joke in our office for years – after all the smack we’ve talked about places we visited…we realized we didn’t have one either. 😅
So naturally, we had to bring you the dorkiest of deliveries for an idea that cracks us up on a regular basis. Is it silly? Yeah.
But sometimes design isn’t just about the big picture–it’s about solving those everyday annoyances too.
