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.
Design is always evolving, and so are we. Our blog is where we share expert tips, behind-the-scenes insights, and the inspiration behind our latest projects. Whether you’re looking for bold ideas, practical advice, or a fresh perspective on interiors, you’ll find it all here. Explore, get inspired, and bring a little more beauty into your space.
Some homes have great bones–they just need the right story layered on top. That was the case for this Raleigh residence. Our clients had the structure, the square footage, and all the makings of a wonderful home–but they hadn’t quite nailed the overall feeling of the house. They weren’t interested in gutting the home or […]
Navigating Tariffs & Rising Costs in Interior Design At TEW Design Studio, we’ve always believed that great design is more than just beautiful – it’s smart, intentional problem-solving. One of the biggest challenges we’re currently navigating in the design and construction world is the rising impact of tariffs and materials costs. Over the past several […]
When this young family reached out to TEW Design Studio, they weren’t dreaming of over-the-top luxury. They were envisioning something harder to find: a home that felt light, easy, and intuitive. Their existing first-floor layout was a bit of a jigsaw puzzle–rooms divided, light blocked, and storage limited. The kitchen, in particular, felt disconnected and […]

Still holding onto summer ☀️🌊 These coastal-inspired concepts brought breezy textures, soft blues, and a little seaside calm into a home designed last year. Proof that you don’t need an ocean view to feel the coastal vibe. ✨

From mood boards to magic. ✨
There’s something special about watching a design take shape — first as an idea we obsess over in the studio, then as a space you can actually walk into. Seeing it all come together on photo day is like watching a dream materialize in real life.
Every detail, every choice, every late-night “what if we tried this?” moment… worth it.

We’ve been bouncing between photoshoots lately, wrapping up projects that have been in the works for months. Somewhere between styling a coffee table just so and making sure the light hits a room just right, we realized… it’s been a while since we properly reintroduced ourselves.
We’re the women behind TEW Design Studio — the ones obsessing over details you might never notice but would definitely feel if they weren’t there. The past few days have been a whirlwind, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Here’s to beautiful spaces, big ideas, and the joy of creating them together. 💛

Before ➡️ After… and now it actually feels like home. ✨
This upstairs used to be one of those “what do we even do with this?” spaces—disconnected from the rest of the home and hardly used. Together, we turned it into something meaningful: a cozy spot to unwind, a custom wet bar made for gathering, and a home theater that finally gave the family a reason to hang out upstairs.
It’s amazing what happens when design brings intention, comfort, and joy into the places we live.

No need for a full renovation to feel brand new.
For the downstairs, we preserved the layout and focused on elevated updates—refining trimwork, refreshing the palette, and layering in accessories that reflect how this family lives. These thoughtful touches created a more grounded, cohesive atmosphere that finally feels like them.
Looking to reimagine your home without starting from scratch? Let’s talk.
