We Design Award-Winning Spaces

We offer full interior and exterior design services from concept to installation, including project management and coordination of contractors for individual design projects.

We also offer simple hourly design (or redesign) consultations.

 

RESIDENTIAL HOMES

Whether a new construction home build, historic estate preservation, functional redesign, or stylistic renovation, we’re here to guide you through the process, start to finish.

This West Akron home was giving rustic-cabin-in-the-woods, until we helped our New York transplant clients Mid-Century Modernize their new abode.

COMMERCIAL SPACES

We help local businesses in both the private and public sectors create unique, welcoming spaces for employees and customers alike.

Akron Energy Systems tasked us with incorporating antique salvaged artifacts rich with Akron history into the modern design for their new administrative office space, so we tagged our local artisan network to help realize this vision.

COMMUNITY PLACES

We create thoughtful public space design with an eye for an authentic sense of community.

Hazel Tree worked with Akron Parks Collaborative and the local community to reimagine and renovate Morgan Park, which now features outdoor furniture made by local artisans!

LOCAL ART CURATION

We provide complete residential and commercial art curation and installation services, featuring current and commission work from our directory of Northeast Ohio artists.

Art curation for Bounce Innovation Hub included over 100 pieces of artwork from dozens of local artists working across a wide range of styles and mediums.

 
 

LOCAL ARTISANS & CONTRACTORS

With a love for repurposing materials and a strong network of salvage and antique sources, we are proud to offer our clients made-in-the-USA home decor and furnishings. 

We have collaborative relationships with trusted local artisans who can create custom locally-made furniture and lighting, as well as local upholsterers, wallpaper installers, painters and furniture refinishers to meet all your design needs. 

A residential patio makeover features several locally-made components: tables made by local artisans Rustbelt Rebirth and Freddy Hill Designs, chair seat cushions with ties made by Copley Upholstery.

““We have been working with Karen Starr and the crew at Hazel Tree Interiors on various design projects. We would highly recommend them for all your design needs! Karen is very professional and has a great eye for design; while keeping it green and local.””
