NO MATTER WHERE you ARE

in the process

Renovation

We manage selections and logistics, making the process seamless. Our dedicated team ensures every detail is executed to perfection.

Full Service Design

We offer full-service project management from concept to completion. This package includes the true “HGTV” experience.

New Build Design

We guide you through every phase, from architectural planning to final styling. You’ll receive cohesive design plans tailored to your new home.

Furniture Selection

This includes fully custom curation of pieces sourced from our extensive library of trade-only vendors. On install day, we place every piece perfectly.

Paint Selection

From selecting the perfect palette to coordinating with finishes and lighting, we help ensure your colors enhance the overall design.

Reimagining

We start with a mood board to define the look, followed by a 3D design that brings the vision to life, so you can see the transformation before it begins.

RECENT PROJECTS

I have a deep love for marrying abstract shapes with thoughtful, beautiful design. There’s something so grounding about a peaceful, well-balanced room.

  • HOW IT WORKS

    01. Consultation call

    We’ll start with a friendly, collaborative call to learn more about your vision, lifestyle, and goals for your space.

    02. Design Concept

    From layout to finishes, we’ll create a custom design concept that blends your style with intentional selections. You’ll receive mood boards, floor plans, and curated ideas to help you visualize the transformation.

    03. EXECUTION + Setup

    Once the design is finalized, we bring it all to life. From sourcing and managing installations to the final styling touches, we handle the details so you can walk into a space that feels like home.

    Gabrielle Carpenter

    Owner + Designer

    My passion for design began in childhood. Playhouse, sketching floor plans, and choosing polka dot wallpaper and white wicker furniture for my bedroom at age ten. Creativity was always part of my life, nurtured by my mother who taught me to sew, sketch, and even craft stained glass.

    Though I initially pursued a career in medical sales, I eventually found my way back to design. What began as a creative outlet soon became a calling. Naming Tilden Studios after my daughter is a tribute to the creative spirit that runs through our family.

    Today, interior design is not just my profession…it’s a way of creating spaces that reflect the people who live in them. I believe every home should feel personal, functional, and inspired by the rhythms of everyday life.

    INTERIORS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME

    Through expert curation, an obsessive eye for detail, and an appreciation for minimalism… our services are designed to simplify your life and transform your space into a functional haven that you love coming home to.

    • “We had the pleasure of working with Gabrielle on both a living room refresh as well as updating our kitchen counter tops. She was always positive, professional and offered several alternatives to each project. I would highly recommend and hope to work with her again in the future.”
      Doug R.
    • “Gabrielle did a great job helping me choose paint colors and funding a painter for the interior of my home. She also developed plan for my bedroom that worked out really well. I couldn’t have been more pleased.”

    • “Gabrielle did a great job! Terrific to work with! She helped with subs, saved me money on materials and kept me on track!”

    • “I am so blown away I have no words!!! What an amazing surprise – it exceeded my expectations!!!”

    Goodbye, winter cobwebs. Hello, custom cabinetry t Goodbye, winter cobwebs. Hello, custom cabinetry that actually makes you excited to put things away. 🥂

Spring cleaning hits a little differently when you are designing custom, wellness-focused spaces. For our luxury clients, a 'tidy home' isn't just about hiding the mess; it's about engineering intuitive storage that protects your investments—from your vintage wine collection to your favorite handbags. 👠🍷

Think:
✨ Integrated LED lighting (so you can actually see your wardrobe).
🌿 Non-toxic finishes for a safer, healthier home.
✨ Moisture-controlled humidity cabinets.
✨ Perfectly spec’d millwork that meets our highest performance and quality standards.

A clean home should be a custom home. Why settle for a pantry refresh when you can have a bespoke scullery?

Ready to design a home that feels like a clean slate, all year round? Hit the link in our bio to consult on your next custom renovation project.

    On a day when the skies are a bit unpredictable, w On a day when the skies are a bit unpredictable, we’re finding calm in the "Emerald Isle" palette. 🌪️💚

While we’re keeping a close eye on the radar today, we’re also celebrating the grounding power of green. In interior design, green isn't just a holiday color; it’s a "neutral" of the natural world. It lowers cortisol, improves focus, and creates a sense of safety—which is exactly what a home should be.

To our local community: Stay weather-aware, stay safe, and find a cozy corner to hunker down in. Happy St. Patrick’s Day from our safe zone to yours. 🍀
