### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — fowlcr8, Sept. 2022**

> We had a wonderful experience working with Tilden Studios for our living room and game room! Having recently moved into our home, we were starting from scratch, so worked with Gabrielle on everything from paint selection to furniture layout to accessory / accent choice.  She not only has a great eye for design, but really provides an end-to-end offering, making the process feel seamless.  She is great at tailoring her work style to meet your preferences (I like having a couple options for big decisions), and it's clear she is committed to creating a space that best fits your wants and needs. I would highly recommend Gabrielle & team for all of your interior design needs!

**★★★★ — Warren Fiske, March 2026**

> Gabrielle helped us redo our den and a nearby bathroom and we’re delighted with the results. We turned a dark, drafty room with heavily paneled walls and a cracking linoleum floor into a light, warm and comfortable place that we love.
> Gabrielle hooked us up with an amazing contractor. Her fine eye for colors led us to a wonderful combination of off-white walls and navy built-in bookshelves and credenza. She presented options and advice that led us to choose furniture, flooring, drapes, lamps, and a rug that blend just right. She even helped us move indoors a heavy delivery that was left outside. I have no doubt that Gabrielle can guide you to the rooms of your dreams.

**★★★★★ — Doug Roth, March 2025**

> 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.

**★★★★★ — Color and room design, Jan. 2021**

> 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.

**★★★★★ — HU-128184773, Dec. 2019**

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

  - Description: Tilden Studios used this family's love for the outter banks as inspiration in designing this combination Living/Dining Room. The family residing in the near west end of Richmond, VA wanted to unify their open floor plan to include a more distinguished formal living and dining room and make it more functional. We transformed this space by adding tranquil colors and complimentary wallpapers at each end of the space, separating the living area from the dining room. Tilden Studios created a cohesive…

  - Description: This sweet, young couple bought their starter home in 2021 from an interior designer. While they initially loved the charm of the split-level Ranch, it was a bit too traditional for their tastes. They wanted a modern & fresh approach to their lower level, perfect for relaxing after work and hosting game nights amongst friends.​ The cozy reading nook was ideal for a luxe game room - complete with a leather loveseat to sit back & enjoy a cocktail while watching a football game. I embraced the crea…

  - Photos: 8
  - Description: Our design for this home was focused on uplifting family heirlooms & treasured art pieces with bold colors & modern styling. Their adult lounge got the full treatment - a complete update. We pulled some of the colors from their vintage artwork & oriental rug into the furnishings. Dark blue walls gave the room a moody feel while letting the reds pop. Carefully placed wall sconces ensured that their favorite painting stays the focal point of the space. Decorative mirrors help reflect the light to…

  - Location: Midlothian, VA
  - Photos: 18
  - Description: Our homeowners at this property started their project with a simple paint consultation about a year ago. They were hosting an engagement party for their daughter at the time & wanted to freshen up their space. Over these past few months we've transformed the stylings of their English-traditional Colonial to a crisp, clean shore home. In the sitting room, we selected a fresh coat of white paint to cover the teal sponge-painted walls to brighten the room. As a nod to the previous floral-print vala…

  - Description: For this project, we were tasked with brightening, as the homeowners called it, a dark space. Rich in taupes & mahogany, the first floor was craving some lightness. . . immediately. To avoid the added costs (& time) of painting the entire interior of the home, we opted to achieve the task through carefully appointed accessories & updated lighting.​ To tone down the reds in the main family room, we decided to bring in pastels. Soft ocean blue & rose pillows & a new area rug helped create an insta…

  - Description: This young, fun Chicago transplant called us after she relocated to her Broad Street apartment. She moved this custom-built bar cross-country as it was made by her father and she wanted to keep a piece of home with her. It was our job to make a wine-tasting room with the bar as the heart & soul of the space. ​ Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a huge fan of reds or yellows so this room was a bit of a challenge. That is, until I found this incredible damask wallpaper to anchor the bar & pro…
