Commercial Interior Design in Tulsa

Restaurants, Hotels, Shops and Offices

We design restaurants, bars, coffee shops, hotel spaces, shops and offices with the same care we bring to a family home. Tulsa is home, and it is where we focus our commercial work, from The Chalkboard and the Ambassador Hotel lobby to a Midtown coffee shop. Our portfolio also includes hospitality, retail and workplace projects in Oklahoma City, Wichita, Milwaukee, Houston, Nashville, California and Melbourne, Australia.

Before starting Gracie Turner Design in 2015, Gracie spent six years at Artillery Interior Architecture in Melbourne, designing bars, restaurants and offices.

Restaurants, Bars and Cafés Beyond Tulsa

• The Gilded Acorn, Oklahoma City: we transformed a mostly white coffee shop at The National Hotel into a colorful, cozy café with a personality all its own.

• The Vault, Oklahoma City: a speakeasy tucked beneath The National Hotel, where whimsical artwork, eclectic mirrors, soft lighting, and comfortable furniture created a moody retreat for an evening drink.

• Café Cuvée, Oklahoma City: we brought the charm of a French bistro to Oklahoma City through black walls, chalkboards, and an eclectic mix of mirrors and gold accents.

• The Chalkboard OKC, Oklahoma City: in transforming the former Café Cuvée, we worked with many existing elements while introducing a central bar as the heart of the restaurant.

• The Dockum Speakeasy, Wichita, Kansas: beneath Wichita’s Ambassador Hotel, we transformed a stark basement into an intimate, elegant speakeasy for hotel guests and locals alike.

• Oggie’s Smokehouse, Milwaukee, Wisconsin: soft sheers, warm leather seating, and earthy tones created the cozy atmosphere that makes a Wisconsin winter feel a little more inviting.

• Outdoor Bar, Melbourne, Australia: an old sports kiosk became the starting point for a playful outdoor bar filled with living plants and imaginative details.

Retail Interiors

• Lemon Laine, Nashville and Houston: two clean beauty stores with vibrant patterned wallpaper and bold colors that make the experience memorable from the moment you walk in.

• Beauty Heroes Flagship Store, Novato, California: red and teal walls inspired by the brand’s own palette, mixed with sustainable and raw materials and a bit of luxurious brass.

Offices and Workplaces

• Luminus, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

• BetterUp, San Francisco: an 8,000 sq. ft office we designed over the Christmas period, using in-stock local furniture so the team could move in when they returned in the new year.

• Trōv, Danville, California: two buildings merged into one cohesive office with an industrial feel, plants, wood, iron and eclectic touches.

How a Commercial Project Works

Every project starts with getting to know you: how your guests, customers or team use the space, what you love, and what you want to change. From there, we establish the scope, priorities, and budget, then develop a cohesive design through layouts, design boards, and thoughtfully selected furniture, finishes, lighting, and art. For full-service projects, we handle purchasing, order tracking, delivery coordination, and installation, then bring everything together with the final styling. Read more about our process.

What Our Commercial Clients Say

“Gracie was such a joy to work with! She pulled out all the stops to make our store opening happen on time and with a bang. Working with someone like Gracie that's equally creative and understands deadlines was invaluable in the success of our project.”

Laura Lemon, Lemon Laine (founder)

“Gracie did an incredible job as the designer for the Beauty Heroes® Flagship store. She so effortlessly took our thoughts and brought them to fruition, and with so much fun and care. She was very mindful of our budget and helped us make our dream store a reality. I highly recommend Gracie. She's a true gem of a find.”
