"Being surrounded by things you love
never goes out of style."
A home should be a unique reflection of our clients' personality paired with a professional eye for balance and design aesthetics; not prescribed by fleeting “trends”. I take pride in digging deep to understand our clients’ individualized likes, dislikes, and day-to-day way of living to create a space that is not only beautiful, but functional.

ARETHA
"If you love it...we'll find space for it!"
My goal with any space is to create a design that accentuates my client’s personalities, individual tastes, and functional needs. When I walk into my home, I want to feel a change - like I'm entering my very own sanctuary. Whether minimalistic or eccentric, I take great pride in executing designs that make my clients feel the same way. I love to use texture, layers, and elements that help to illuminate all the concepts you love and make the space exclusive to you and your family.
Design Style: I love working with every type of style, from high traditional to ultra-modern. My favorite projects are those where we get to take items you already have and love, and combine them with new pieces to give everything new life.
Favorite Project: A family vacation home design project in Vermillion, OH.
Certifications: Allied ASID Certified Interior Designer with 13 years experience.
JENNY
"Creativity and teamwork in an interior design project always produces a beautiful living space."
I'm fairly new here at Perrino Home Furnishings, but not new to the interior design world. I come from a commercial background, working for five years with Steelcase doing office interior design planning in Cincinnati, OH where I worked with clients such as Fifth Third Bank & AT&T, and more. I took some time off to raise a family and eagerly jumped back into the workforce two years ago doing kitchen and bath design, which eventually led me to an interior design job at Perrino Home Furnishings. I love working one on one with my clients and you'll always be greeted with a smile when you walk into our design center!
Design Style: I love bold and colorful designs. I am in the middle between traditional and contemporary, and would lean towards a more eclectic design pallet.
Favorite Project: My favorite project, simply based on the experience and travel, was designing with Sprint.
Certifications: Allied ASID Certified Interior Designer with 6 years experience.
CHELSEA'S TESTIMONIALS
From our initial meetings with our designer, Chelsea, we knew we chose the right team to transform our home. Chelsea listened to and communicated well with us at all times. In the end, she transformed our ideas into a complete design that was better than we could have ever imagined. She made sure her design met the needs of our family, as well as our budget, while giving us the style and function we were looking for in every room of our home. She was a wizard and a true star of this renovation!
- Erin & Michael Merker
Thank you for all of your help with the selection process. We are extremely happy with all of our new stunning furniture! Our house is now a warm beautiful home. Love, love, love!
- Susan Asadorian
All of our first floor furniture was dated, but we really had no idea what would work in each room. We enjoyed walking through the showroom and Chelsea, one of their interior designers discussed the design process with us and then came to our home. We were very impressed with how thorough she was in taking measurements (windows, doorways, radiators) and noting our color and style preferences. She came up with a master plan that enabled us to do a bit at a time. As for the furniture that we have bought - we love all the pieces - couch, ottoman, leather recliner and kitchen chairs. Given that my husband is 14” taller than I am, finding furniture that can accommodate both of us proved a challenge, but Chelsea managed it. Good quality, attractive and reasonable prices - what more could one ask for?

If you live in the Cleveland area you know how difficult it is to find unique, reasonably priced quality home furnishings. We’re grateful that Perrino Builders thought to take their building business a step further by opening their spectacular Perrino Home Furnishings showroom & design center. We just completed our 2nd custom home build with Perrino Builders and his team was able to complete our dream home with the help of Chelsea and Colleen at Perrino Home Furnishings. They were complete rockstars finding each unique piece that turned our house into a home! I can’t decide what room I like more because every piece is spectacular! Thank you Team Perrino!

ARETHA'S TESTIMONIALS
My wife and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional service from the Perrino Home Furnishings design team. Our designer, Aretha, was a true pleasure to work with; she was incredibly accommodating with our schedule and attentive to our tastes. The presentation of fabric samples and furniture options was nothing short of impressive. Thanks to Perrino Home Furnishings, our entire home is beautifully furnished within budget, and we’re truly grateful for their support and advice. We’re excited to start our next project in the coming months and look forward to collaborating with them again. We highly recommend Perrino Home Furnishings for all your design needs! Happy wife, Happy life! Thanks so much!
- Jerry & Rachel Ivanov
We had the best experience choosing cabinetry, colors, fixtures, and furniture with Aretha as our new house was being built in Acacia Estates. We had never been in this circumstance before, and Aretha was patient, recognized when we were experiencing overload with choices, and steered us in directions that would give us a cohesive look. We are very grateful for her knowledge and expertise!
- Jay and Cathy McKelvey
Aretha did a fantastic job with the interior design of our home. She was able to work in our existing furniture with all the new pieces from Perrino Home Furnishings, and it really gave our house a whole new personality. We will definitely be back to work with Aretha and Perrino Home Furnishings in the future!
- David Eadelis
I first learned about Aretha through my daughter who used her for furniture and other ideas for making my daughters home so beautiful. So as you can imagine my daughter passed Aretha’s contact on to me. Aretha is kind and so sincere with a great passion for her work. We hit it off immediately and didn’t take long for her to get back to me with ideas for my needs and areas I was trying to accomplish with a new look. I have found my “Golden Gal” for my home improvements. Thank you, Aretha.

JENNY'S TESTIMONIALS
When we walked into Perrino Home Furnishings, we were warmly greeted by Jenny, who also assisted us in choosing items for our home. Jenny is extremely helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and asked all the right questions to grasp our vision for our home. We are pleased with the items we purchased, and Jenny is great! We highly recommend Perrino Home Furnishings and Jenny, and we look forward to working with her again.
- Gay Hansen
I had such a great experience at Perrino Home Furnishings thanks to Jenny who works in the showroom! I walked in without an appointment and was immediately greeted with a warm smile and welcoming attitude. Not only did she make me feel right at home, but she also had me laughing within minutes. It was clear she genuinely loves what she does and cares about people. I left feeling completely impressed not just by the showroom and company, but by her kindness, professionalism, and great energy. Thank you for turning an unexpected visit into a truly memorable one!
