Our Services

How we work

Aiden T is a full-service interior design studio that oversees the majority of tasks involved in your renovation or decoration project. Creativity and meticulous attention to detail are central to our design philosophy. As an independent entity, our services are divided into five key steps:

  1. Planning and Design
    Conceptualizing the design and layout of your new home as well as preparing a detailed scope of work for contractors to provide quotes.
  2. Detailing and Sourcing
    Selecting fittings, fixtures, appliances and materials as well as preparing all technical documents for project commencement.
  3. Décor selection
    Curating a cohesive and functional design scheme by choosing furniture and furnishings.
  4. Site co-ordination
    Supervising contractors on site and managing any necessary changes, while being point of contact between the home owner and the contractors.
  5. Implementation and decoration
    Bringing the design vision to life and adding decorative touches upon the project completion by the contractors.

As independent designers, we can assist in sourcing a suitable contractor with whom we have collaborated on previous projects to realize the design vision effectively.

Interior Architecture

The evolution of how we live has significantly impacted the layout of our homes. Rather than solely focusing on refinishing and furnishing existing spaces, we reevaluate the interior flow. While addressing technical considerations, we often reconfigure living spaces to better suite your current needs. Each design project prioritizes an updated layout that is comfortable, safe, and functional at its core.

We believe that exceptional design can enhance your efficiency, comfort, abundance, security, and joy within an aesthetically pleasing and functional environment.

Interior Design

Taking personal preferences into account, our interiors embody a contemporary fusion of textures and colour schemes that create a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere, brimming with positive energy. Each design is rooted in a well-researched concept that guides the journey from initial vision to final details.

This approach ensures that the design process is both inspiring and enjoyable, resulting in creative and unique homes that are luxurious yet livable, grounded yet inviting and never go out of fashion.

Interior Styling

Emphasizing patterns, textures and layers, we utilize materials and accents thoughtfully to add interest and depth to a timeless and cohesive style. With a designer’s eye, we craft a personalized look for your home that reflects your unique taste while maintaining a professional finish.

In addition to selecting furniture and soft furnishings, we recommend specific accessories and artwork to enhance your home’s design. These items can be incorporated when you move in or gradually accumulated over time to complete the overall aesthetic.

Dutch-born Arjan Nijen Twilhaar has been working on interior design projects since 1998 when his employer put him in charge opening up offices throughout Asia. His first interior project was a flagship office in Hong Kong.

In 2001 he started an advertising and branding company that rapidly grew into a boutique agency. His passion for interior design resulted in the design for retail spaces, spas, and events. Gradually Arjan was asked to design residences, making the transition to full-time interior design by 2008.

For Arjan, the home is the essence of one’s true self. He believes that creating your own sense of style is very much the way one lives. By incorporating unique and individual pieces, Arjan creates atmospheres that are timeless and original.  Clean and collected interiors are created by combining the best elements in design, old and new, into balance.

Innovation, editing and style are the basic fundamentals of his work, focusing on clarity, proportion and light. Following through on his initial concept, the space shares a connection – a flow that offers new viewpoints with elements of surprise.
