From outdated to outstanding, here’s a look at some of our favorite before-and-after projects. Each space is a testament to bold ideas, thoughtful details, and the power of great design.
At TEW Design Studio, we believe great design is about more than aesthetics—it’s about creating spaces that feel effortless, functional, and uniquely yours. Our clients trust us to bring bold ideas to life with a seamless, full-service experience. But don’t just take our word for it—see what they have to say!
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 timeline and budget would be impacted in each scenario. We felt informed and supported throughout our decision-making and are absolutely thrilled with the end result!
My young family was new to the process of house renovations and approaching a full kitchen remodel with a toddler was daunting.u003cbru003eRima and her team were wonderful every step of the way. Stephanie created a stunning kitchen design that was truly customized to enhance our real life. She asked great questions and listened deeply to our answers, 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 so we had to source new material, the TEW team were eager to help problem solve and approached it as an exciting challenge rather than an inconvenience.u003cbru003eWhen 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.u003cbru003eThe contractor we worked with was recommended by TEW and is another example of TEW’s commitment to excellence. We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end and trusted the relationship between the design and execution.
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 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.
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.

Home projects are meant to be an exciting chance to create spaces that truly reflect how you live. When every choice comes with dozens of options, timelines overlap, and budgets start to blur, that excitement can fade quickly. That’s where an interior designer changes everything. At TEW Design Studio, we combine creativity with careful strategy […]
For many North Carolinians, “home” is more than just a place; it’s the heart of a lifetime’s worth of memories. From the tree-lined neighborhoods of Cary to the quiet, wooded retreats of Pittsboro, homeowners are choosing to stay where their stories have unfolded. Aging in place isn’t about resisting change; it’s about creating an environment […]

TEWlines by TEW Design Studio was created because furniture should do more than fill a room.
Each piece is intentional. Designed for real life, real families, and homes that are meant to be used, not just looked at. Thoughtful proportions, quality materials, and details that quietly elevate the everyday.
This is furniture that grounds a space and grows with you. Built to last. Designed to feel like home.

Unpopular opinion, but… Humans are wired for color. It affects mood, energy, creativity, even how safe and inspired we feel in a space. Color gives our brain something to respond to. It tells a story. It sparks emotion. It makes a home feel lived in not staged.
Neutral can be a base, but it should never be the whole personality. Homes are for humans not showrooms. Bring on the depth, the contrast, the joy.

In project Arbutus, we worked with our clients to achieve a blend of bold color palettes and sleek modern furnishings by carefully selecting textures to create depth and warmth throughout. Every space flows seamlessly, proving that contemporary doesn`t have to mean cold; it can be both sophisticated and inviting. Because a home should feel as good as it looks, and the places we gather matter most. What draws you to this design?

Now scheduling a select number of 2026 projects ✨
Design begins long before construction. It starts with listening, with understanding how you live, what you value, and the way you want your home or space to feel every day. From there, each decision is layered with intention, care, and an eye toward longevity rather than trend.
This work is for those who appreciate craftsmanship, thoughtful planning, and a process that feels calm, guided, and deeply personal.
If you are envisioning a 2026 project, we would love to begin the conversation.

A quiet moment of craft and intention in this midcentury modern Chapel Hill home.
Handmade pottery inspired tile brings warmth, texture, and subtle movement to the bath, celebrating imperfection, artistry, and the beauty of materials that feel collected over time. A space designed to feel both timeless and deeply personal, features a custom natural wood floating vanity and a black marble sink.

A vibrant blend of mid-century modern design infused with pops of color.
Our selection of soft blue cabinetry counterbalance the warmth of wood. Pops of color from the wall sconces and wallpaper give the space a cohesive, mid-century modern sophistication. Upper shelves serve as additional storage for family artifacts, while base cabinetry is dedicated to keeping the space tidy.
