Residential Home Remodels
Beautiful Home Remodel Designs in Raleigh and Cary, NC
With the cost to move into a new home ever increasing in the Raleigh area, many of our clients are choosing to renovate or remodel their existing home. We know how stressful it can be to live through a remodel, and will use our decades of experience to guide your decisions so the project stays on track. At Design Works Studio, we create beautiful, functional spaces that reflect your style and meet your needs. Whether you're remodeling a single room, adding to your existing space, or starting from scratch, our expert team ensures a seamless and stress-free process. Hiring an interior designer is key to the success of your project.
Whole Home Remodel Design
When the whole house is changing, the order you make decisions in matters as much as the decisions themselves. We design full home renovations by working through plans, budget, and every product selection before demolition begins, then stay involved through construction so the details are never decided on the fly. The result reads as one cohesive home rather than a series of separate projects.
Home Renovation Design
Not every renovation is a gut job. We design renovations for a single room or several at once — layout changes, finish selections, lighting, and coordination with your contractor from the first meeting through the final walkthrough. If you are not sure how big your project really is, a design consultation is the easiest place to start.
Historic Home Renovation
Older Triangle homes, including those inside the Raleigh beltline, call for a different kind of renovation. We update function and systems — kitchens, baths, lighting, storage — while protecting the proportions, millwork, and character that make the house worth keeping. It is a balance we have been striking since 1984.
Room Addition Design
Sunrooms, primary suites, expanded kitchens, and bump-outs succeed when the new space reads as part of the original house. We handle the space planning and every finish selection, working with your contractor so the transition feels seamless inside and out.
Exterior Design and Selections
Most people spend months on interior selections and twenty minutes on the outside of the house. We specify brick, stone, siding, roofing, trim, front doors, garage doors, and complete exterior color schemes — so the first impression your home makes is as considered as everything inside it.
Outdoor Living Design
Porches, patios, decks, pools, and outdoor kitchens have become true living space in the Triangle. We design outdoor rooms with furniture, finishes, and lighting chosen to survive Carolina summers — and to feel like a natural extension of your interiors.
Builder Selection and Bid Analysis
Comparing contractor bids is harder than it looks, because no two are structured alike. We review bids line by line so you can compare them on equal terms, then help you decide who to hire. More than four decades of working alongside Triangle builders informs who we recommend and why.
