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.
Rima 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.
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.
The 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 […]

For our principal interior designer, Rima, no detail is too small.
Install day is where months of planning meet real life. Every inch, every seam, every alignment matters. From how a chair clears the rug to how a lamp cord disappears into the room, we are paying attention even when it looks like we are just standing there.
Those tiny moments add up. They are the difference between a space that looks finished and one that truly feels right. It is why installs take time, why we adjust and readjust, and why we do not rush the final hours.
Because great design is not about one big reveal. It is about hundreds of small decisions made with care, right down to the last detail.
Tiny hands just make it fun 😂👋🤭

It’s not just about how a home looks—it’s about how it feels.
From a framed love note in the hallway to a dining nook made for Sunday pancakes, we believe the best design choices are the ones that reflect you.
At TEW, we infuse every space with personal touches that tell your story—because the heart of the home should feel like yours.

This bathroom is what happens when a little bit of whimsy meets a whole lot of sunlight. 🌞 A soft green palette plays nicely with warm, rosy tile… and those rustic shutters turned mirror? Chef’s kiss.
Take a flip through our magazine-inspired reveal and soak up the charm.
