We created Tilden House to make homes aesthetically pleasing and functional for families. Through comprehensive consultations that identify our clients' individual needs, lifestyles, and tastes, we help curate custom spaces that are a union of beautiful form and practical function. 

Whether it be welcoming guests through an inviting foyer, serving holiday meals from a well planned kitchen, or dropping backpacks in a thoughtful mudroom, we create purposeful spaces that are both elegant and versatile. 

At Tilden House, we specialize in reevaluating existing spaces or even starting fresh with a new project. As the link among architects, contractors, decorators, and homeowners, Tilden House offers a specialized and unique approach to space planning and creating cherished spaces.

The aesthetic of Tilden House is not one to be put into a box. Creator Nikki Hastings believes in combining personalized art, treasured antiques, clean lines, and celebrated prints and patterns. Our projects are personal, reflecting the lifestyle of each family. From the initial consultation to the final installation, we are not only designing houses, we are creating homes.

THE STORY OF

In the Arkansas River Valley town of Charleston, Arkansas, Nikki grew up near the historic town square on Tilden Street. Here she was given her first definition of “home.” Her earliest memories are of her crafty and creative mother spontaneously painting their kitchen cabinets cobalt blue to match a dainty floral wallpaper. She learned her admiration for the skill of construction from watching her father with all of his various projects as small as building their deck by hand and as large as overseeing the construction of Nikki’s high school where he worked as the school Superintendent. Tilden Street was the spark that led to Nikki’s passion.
