WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“When it was time to renovate our master bath, powder room and guest bath, there was no question about who we'd ask to do the design work.

TEW Design is a professional, full-service design studio with women who listen well and are a delight to work with.”

GET SOCIAL
We don`t usually let people in this early. But this one felt worth documenting from the start.
Swansboro Lane is a full renovation in progress: an unfinished third-floor attic, a dining room that couldn`t keep up with how our clients entertain, and a breakfast nook that needed a serious rethink. Design is approved. Construction will begin soon. And we`re documenting everything, the decisions, the pivots, the moments that don`t make it to the final reveal photos.
We`ll be answering questions like: what does a designer actually do? How long does a project like this really take? And what actually happens between hiring a designer and the finished room? And what about general contractors?
Part 1 of our behind-the-scenes series is live on the blog now. Link in our story.

This guest bath in a downtown Raleigh condo on Fayetteville Street was a local love letter. Our client loved the downtown Raleigh pillar, James Beard-winning chef Ashley Christensen`s Poole`side Pies, which sadly closed in 2023 and where the bathrooms were famously swimming pool themed. Since the home`s biggest selling point is its downtown location, we wanted to give it a sense of place and a fun story.
We recreated a similar swimming pool aesthetic through cool blue tile and sparkling chrome finishes. We stuck with a pedestal sink for that retro feel and to save space, and switched out a single shelf for a wall cabinet to create more storage opportunity in limited space.
This was a low-light room with no windows. There is a difference between a dark space that feels neglected and a dark space that feels like a decision. The Fayetteville Street guest bath feels like a decision. Sometimes the most beautiful thing you can do with a dark space is let it be dark on purpose.

Special delivery🎨📦! We are so excited to welcome this stunning piece into our office. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Miami-based artist @marianifineart for years.
Her sculptural pieces are a beautiful exploration of texture, cultural history, and spirituality. The artist, Ana Mariani is deeply inspired by her childhood, growing up in the State of Boliviar, near the Amazon rainforest. In her pieces, through the interspersed use of branches that form irregular structures, she then covers them with colored fabrics to create abstract shapes, erasing the limits between painting and sculpture.
One of our favorite things about most of her pieces is that they are “living art”, so the individual stakes can be rearranged into any configuration, allowing the piece to evolve with the space. If you’re interested in purchasing this piece, send us a DM!
