Hazel Tree Design Studio

This place is amazing. It was so fantastic going in and walking around and just seeing all the pieces from local artists made me really proud to be an Akronite. I would highly recommend checking it out if you've never been in before.

I can’t believe I haven’t yet written a review here for Karen Starr and her team at Hazel Tree! We’ve worked with Karen on multiple projects at our current home, and Hazel Tree’s results are outstanding! From the fun and collaborative spirit to the prompt and consistent communication, no detail is overlooked in your design process. There is no pressure to overspend with multiple options presented in your budget. Do yourself a favor and talk with Karen and her team at Hazel Tree when you’re ready for home design!

We recently built a new custom home, and had to choose everything: paint colors, cabinet design, furniture, countertops, flooring, plumbing fixtures, etc. We knew we needed help from an interior designer, and we chose Hazel Tree and Karen Starr after hearing Karen speak about balancing great design with sustainability.

Karen and her team are top notch designers who are also really fun and creative to work with. They knew what questions to ask to help us articulate our needs and the style we wanted. They have a cadre of excellent local furniture makers and artisans to work with who are creative without breaking the bank. They helped us with the big picture layout as well as the tiniest of details. Karen has an incredible eye for color and style, so everything in our home blends together beautifully.

We are thrilled with the result. It is our style, it is beautiful, and it feels like home. Thank you, Karen and Hazel Tree!

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. Karen and Sophie were professional, gracious and most of all TALENTED. We left our house for 3 weeks and when we returned it was like walking into a new home. We had suffered a terrible tragedy and did not have the mindset or energy to re-decorate a house. With Hazel Tree Design Studio they took care of it for us. Funny thing was everything they picked out, or suggested were not anything we would have even considered. If we would have decorated our own house it would have been tan and well tan! Our house is now bright, cheery and most of all...US! It is now a home. I would highly recommend Karen and her team. Thank you for bringing some "light" into our home and hearts.

An awesome little studio/shop/gallery on the edge of downtown and trendy West Hill. A combination interior design studio, professional framing shop and showroom for furnishings and art from local craftsmen and fine artists.
