We’re proud to share that TEW Design Studio was recently featured in Kitchen & Bath Design News for two bold primary bathroom renovations. This national recognition celebrates our team’s approach to design–one that embraces color, creativity, and collaboration.
The featured projects showcase what’s possible when clients are open to exploring unconventional palettes and layouts. Both spaces were transformed from standard, all-white bathrooms into vibrant, personalized retreats with custom details throughout.
One of the designs was also named a Kitchen & Bath Design Awards Winner in 2024, affirming our team’s commitment to pushing creative boundaries and elevating everyday spaces.
Originally a dated, builder-grade bathroom, this space lacked energy and visual interest. Our team redesigned the layout to accommodate a larger walk-in shower and introduced graphic tile in a glossy finish that brightens the entire room.
To bring cohesion to the space, terrazzo-look porcelain tile was used throughout the floor, creating a seamless transition into the curbless shower. Mid-century-inspired plumbing and lighting fixtures helped complete the transformation, resulting in a clean and contemporary update.
This project can be found in our portfolio, dubbed Durham Station.
In this primary bathroom, bold color and pattern take center stage. An emerald green herringbone tile sets the tone for a custom wet room, framed by salmon-toned surrounds and a royal blue trim.
Balancing playfulness with intention, our team created a layout that’s as functional as it is vibrant. Dual toiletry niches, a quartz bench, and a built-in planter box introduce softness and spa-like appeal. Each element was carefully considered to ensure that color, texture, and light work together harmoniously.
This project was awarded a Kitchen & Bath Design Award, a recognition of its creative vision and technical execution.
This project can be found in our portfolio, dubbed Pine Birch.
These projects demonstrate that bathrooms can be elevated through thoughtful design choices in materials, color, and layout. A few key takeaways:

When our clients decided to relocate from California to North Carolina, they found their forever home before they’d ever set foot in the state. It was a beautiful mid-century modern style home in the Raleigh Triangle area with great bones, ready for some light updates and a lot of personalization. The catch was that they […]
“The goal isn’t a room that looks good in photos but stresses everyone out to maintain. It’s one where the design works quietly and the people living there can exhale.” That line is from a piece I wrote for Kitchen & Bath Business this month, and you can read the full feature here. It’s about […]
