Perrino Builders can help you create your dream home
By Mimi Vanderhaven
Heading east on Mayfield Road into Geauga County, about four miles from I-271, the landscape transforms from hectic and suburban to relaxing and rural.
Suddenly, just before you enter the growing-but-still-quaint center of Chesterland, you see on the north side of the road a stunning rock and glass structure that is the new home of Perrino Furniture & Accessories and Perrino Builders & Remodeling.
The brand-new designer showroom is celebrating its grand opening this month and it’s the latest innovation from multiple-award-winning builder Pat Perrino. His vision—which he has achieved masterfully—is a one stop-shop for furniture, interior design, remodeling and new construction. It’s everything under one roof.
And it’s an experience.
The aromatic oil diffuser at the front door, the dramatic, jaw-dropping vignettes, the upbeat music that follows you as you shop, and the complimentary espresso station combine to create an environment that encourages relaxation, imagination and creativity.
“This is the very opposite of shopping online,” says founder Pat Perrino.
“Here, you can be inspired, meet with trained interior designers, touch and feel what you are going to buy, and know exactly what the colors will be when it’s in your home. And when you visit, bring a friend. It’s like a day out.”
The new, two-story facility (with an elevator) features a little bit of everything on each floor. Look for fireplaces, beam ceilings, rustic ship lathe; exotic bathrooms, a bar/wine room, and three different styles of kitchens—contemporary, Tuscan and a fabulous farmhouse look.
And the new showroom, Pat says, is for everybody.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re building a multi-million-dollar home or if you’re furnishing your kid’s college dorm room,” he says, “we have something for everybody and every budget.”
Home Furnishings & More
The new home of Perrino Furniture & Accessories features an imaginative selection that you won’t find in traditional furniture stores, at various price points.
“You can choose a designer sectional or budget-conscious sectional that looks like a designer sectional,” Pat says.
Browse sofas and chairs, live-edge dining tables, trendy bedroom sets, occasional tables, and eclectic accessories from lamps and sculptures to plants and wall art. But here—unlike at a traditional store—you can shop for home furnishings while simultaneously designing your new home or remodeling project.
“You have a blueprint for your building project, why not have a blueprint for your home furnishings, too?” Pat invites.
“In other words, when you design your living space with the furniture in mind—instead of treating the furniture as an afterthought—the results are far more dramatic and affordable.”
A Single Vision, Yours
The new Chesterland showroom is also the home of Perrino Builders & Remodeling, so you can design your remodeling or new construction project at the same place you select your furniture, as well as your flooring, tile, cabinets, light fixtures, etc. It’s all there under one roof.
Here’s why that matters:
When most of us embark on an interior design project, we know the drill: long hours browsing Pinterest then multiple trips to flooring stores, cabinet shops, plumbing and lighting outlets, furniture galleries, art studios, etc., dragging confusing swatches and samples along with us. In the end, our project looks like what it is.
A disappointing mishmash.
Because we get conflicting advice from different sources—each with their own agenda—our finished project often looks like it was designed by committee. The flooring guy doesn’t talk to the builder or remodeler. The expertise of the designer at the furniture store is limited to matching fabrics and hanging pictures, with none of the sense of scale and proportion that an experienced builder may have, and the folks at the cabinet shop have no idea what other furniture is going in the great room with the custom-made entertainment center they are crafting, let alone how it is going to be illuminated.
We inevitably suffer design flaws, mismatches, returns, wasted money, headaches and hassles and end up settling for a space far less than our true vision.
Instead, Pat Perrino has designed an innovative system where your entire project is handled by a single source with a common vision-your vision-including a multiple-award-winning builder/remodeler and a team of experienced, American Society of Interior Designers (ASID)-certified designers.
“It’s all about saving you time and money while creating a final result that exceeds your expectations,” Pat says. “When you plan the entire project from start to finish, it’s possible to create the look you really want without spending more money. If you want to see examples, be sure to visit the galleries on our websites.”
(You can review stunning before-and-after photos in the project portfolios at PerrinoFurniture.com and PerrinoBuilders.com.)
Perrino’s projects also include varying styles and textures depending on your tastes, including distinctive elements like waterfall-edge countertops, Euro-style cabinets that lift up, narrow 60-inch fireplaces, stacked stone, glass and iron, open floorplans, curb-less showers with built-in spas, and much more.
“The possibilities are endless,” Pat promises. “Our goal is to make it easier than ever to achieve the home of your dreams.”
