TATE studio

Great team, easy to work with and receptive to feedback and budget constraints. They helped make my new build feel like a home!

Working with TATE Studio - Rachel Buxkamper was an absolute pleasure, and the transformation of my home exceeded all expectations. From our very first conversation, her communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful. She took the time to understand my vision, ensuring the design reflected my unique style and personal tastes, while also honoring the original 1939 features of my home. One of the things that impressed me most was how Rachel incorporated and preserved many of the original pieces from 1939. She truly understood the importance of maintaining the historical integrity of my home, seamlessly blending those classic elements with contemporary design. The kitchen remodel was particularly impressive. Rachel not only revitalized the space with modern functionality but also found ways to incorporate the home’s original charm, seamlessly blending old and new. The layout was optimized, making the kitchen both stylish and incredibly practical for everyday use. The full interior remodel was a masterpiece. Rachel was able to repurpose and evolve several areas of the house, creating unique and functional spaces that truly reflect my lifestyle. She brought a fresh, creative perspective to each room while keeping the design cohesive and true to the home’s history. Her adept use of color and texture added warmth and personality to every space, making the entire home feel inviting and connected. Throughout the entire process, Rachel was diligent about staying within budget and meeting our agreed-upon timeline, which made the experience stress-free. Her attention to detail was exceptional, from the smallest design element to the overall flow of the space. Every choice felt intentional and beautifully executed. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the final results and have already recommended Rachel to friends and family. If you’re looking for a designer who can balance style, functionality, and unique spaces TATE Studio Rachel Buxkamper is the perfect choice.

Rachel and her team helped our family in a big way. They had a three week turn around for a lot of renovations (new kitchen island, paint across the house, new fixtures throughout, flooring changes) and she worked seamlessly with her contractor to make it all happen. She has heard my style/needs throughout and made my ideas a reality. Her interior design work has been wonderful. We are thrilled with the final product and I would 100 percent recommend Tate Studio. They were timely, communication was excellent and design was what we wanted but better!

My absolute favorite designer in the area! She took my home from boring spec house to amazing in 2019. She is also a great neutral party, often my husband and I wouldn’t agree on a plan and she would help navigate that process so we would both be happy. Rachel has great style, is responsive and is wonderful to work with. I highly recommend!

Rachel and her team updated our new living room, bathrooms and kitchen. She has amazing taste, is easy to work with and reliable. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Rachel and her team were fantastic in helping us get settled into our new home. Rachel perfectly executed our vision of a beautiful, yet functional home, highlighting special antiques and modernizing the space with lighting, drapery, and stylish accessories. Her styling abilities are unmatched, and we truly enjoyed working with her!

Tate Studio was excellent to work with! My guest bedroom and seating area projects were completed within my budget and in a very fast turn around time during the holidays. Rachel listened to what I was looking for but also suggested items I love that I never would have picked on my own. Working with a local small boutique design firm added a nice personal touch too! Highly recommend!

I was introduced to Rachel through a mutual friend when I was ready to restyle my home. Rachel came to my home for our initial consultation, she asked detailed questions to understand my likes/dislikes, how I use and live in my home. She immediately connected with who I am and knew how to bring my home to life in a style perfect for me. From the very start our relationship was built on mutual trust. Rachel immediately had such vision for each of my rooms. She saw potential that I would never have imagined and her recommendations have been brilliant. Rachel has a keen sense of how to mix existing items, new and contemporary with vintage items to make every little space lovely and inviting. She is the best at bringing in pieces or art that provide the foundation for the colors in a room and that tie the room together. Each room is spectacular and unique on its own and yet connected in some way to the next room with an easy flow. Rachel has created my dream home and is a delight to work with. Each time Rachel is in my home she makes little changes, finding ways to surprise and delight, leaving my home better than she found it. She handles every little detail and I get to enjoy the beauty and coziness of my new surroundings!

Punctual and excellent design taste. They made everything easy. I've received many compliments on my new office.

I hesitate to write this review. If word get out about the immeasurable talent of Rachel Buxkamper, she will never be available next time I need her! But alas, in the interest of beauty and style, here goes. My family law partner and I were knee deep in remodeling our office when I met her "friend" Rachel. We were crazy busy with law practice to the point that I didn't get a decent night of sleep for about 2.5 years! The GC on our job conveniently disappeared. Our landlords were highly uninterested in supporting our efforts beyond the minimum. It was a nightmare. Without flinching, Rachel simply took over. I don't think she had ever managed an office remodel before as she was just getting her interior design business off the ground. Rachel instinctively tamed us all -- from the lawyers to the carpenters to the third party vendors -- with her formidable organizational skills and follow-through. Rachel was attuned to our needs and our limitations. She took in our individuals senses of style and created beautiful vision boards so we could weigh in on options she developed with varied themes and vibes. And every single one was fabulous. If you want a peek into Rachel's tastes, check out TATE Studio. If you want to breathe in beauty and light, look at the awesome spaces she has created. Finally, before I sign off, let me share that Rachel updated my home from old-style French country design to a more modern look that I adore. And she made my daughter the room of her dreams.

Rachel is fantastic and has a great eye for what is needed in every space. She helped add a color, design, and character to all areas of our home. It made a huge difference. We will call her again and always refer. Diane and Mark

Rachael and her team at TATE studio are fabulous! Went away for a weekend and came back to a totally redecorated house. Loved everything they did. They utilize what you have including digging out pieces you totally forgot about then add in items to make everything look fresh and new. So glad we chose Rachael and her team to redecorate. I also used Rachael to decorate the new office when we moved. Loved everything!

Rachel and her team are amazing! Not only do they have great taste but Rachel is as smart as she is creative. Rare find in my opinion. Rachel is a go-getter! She knows everything about everything in her industry. She is also fair in her billing/pricing especially for how talented she is. Her being reasonable with her billing allows me to spend even more time with her helping me make my spaces beautiful (which I might not otherwise do if she were more expensive like her contemporaries). Together, she and I remodeled an 8000 sq ft boutique law office and my new modern townhome. I plan to engage her on a new build modern lake house and I know together, we will come up with something super unique, classy, functional and fun. Rachel has great energy and you will love working with her!

Rachel and the team at Tate Studio have the ability to zero in on your personality so it shines through in every detail of your home. The design process was very collaborative and I felt a part of the process, but they also stepped in and were incredible decision makers when I needed someone to say "this is the best choice". It was evident that Rachel and team love what they do and I love the outcome!

Rachel is endlessly talented. She has such vision, was budget conscious and helped transform our space into what we hoped it could be. 5 stars!!!!!!

Rachel is awesome! She helped furnish multiple rooms in our home, and we are beyond happy with how things turned out. She was super cost conscious which was even better. Would highly recommend!

Working with Rachel was a great experience. She took the time to learn my personality and the space. She not only recommended large furniture ideas, but also small detail pieces to complete the specific room she works on. She provided wall paint colors, brought in pieces to try out and layout options. She offers a high, medium, low decoration scales to meet your spending needs. I highly recommend her services. A smile always comes to my face when I come home!

Rachel continues to be a tremendous help in guiding me through the decorating process. As one who often becomes paralyzed during decision making, it has been helpful to have her advice regarding the best options for my home while being patient with my hesitations. Her style sense is excellent and I am especially impressed by her effort to work within my budget and making less costly items work without compromising on a quality look. I highly recommend for all sized projects!
