Expanding Showrooms to Peoria and Mahomet

We are excited to expand our reach across Central Illinois by opening two additional showrooms in addition to our main location in Eureka. To better service our clients in surrounding areas, we have opened a second location in Peoria and are in the process of prepping a third to open in Mahomet. The goal for these locations is to give our designers and clients a meeting spot closer to home to discuss projects, look over samples, and explore our services. We are so grateful for this growth opportunity and hope it allows our clients to access our custom cabinetry and design services more conveniently! Read on as we share a look inside the new locations, their progress, and how to get in touch!

A Look Inside the Peoria Showroom- Now Open!

In 2024, we began searching the Peoria area for a second showroom location to better serve our clients across the river. Being a native of the Peoria area, our designer, Carly, was tasked with leading this project and she ran with it! Once the location was secured, Carly began drawing up the design for the showroom, which included kitchen cabinetry, an office built-in, sample displays, and a kitchenette.

With the vision in place, demolition began. As with any remodel, this is the messiest stage! We always tell our clients to trust the process, and so we did the same! We added several archways, replaced flooring and lighting, painted the walls, and installed new trim and shelving. Eventually the cabinetry arrived and was set into place as well!

With the help of our intern, Hannah, she and Carly were able to get samples labeled and organized, ready for clients to browse. Things began to really come together with countertops getting installed as well as furniture and décor finding its way in. We waited a little while for the custom range hood to be made and delivered, but it was worth it in the end!

The Peoria showroom kitchen houses its fair share of custom storage solutions so clients can explore options in person. If you’re interested in the paint/stain details, the perimeter is painted in Mountain Road (Sherwin Williams) and the island is plain sawn red oak stained in Dark New Walnut. It also features gorgeous reeded details!

Here’s a few more views of the final product!

While the Peoria showroom is officially open, it is by appointment only. We do not currently hold regular hours here, so make sure to get in touch with us before stopping by. To schedule a meeting at the Peoria location, please contact Carly by emailing her at carly@gravellanedesign.com. Our designer, Lavena, also takes meetings at the Peoria showroom, and you can contact her at lavena@gravellanedesign.com. You can also fill out the contact form on the Contact Us page for the Peoria location to tell us about your project and request a meeting. We would love to help with your cabinetry, countertop, shower, and interior design needs!

A Look Inside the Mahomet Showroom - Coming Soon!

We just announced that we plan to open a third showroom in Mahomet, Illinois! We are so excited about this new project, as it has been in discussion for years. Our designer, Katie, is from the area and has been serving Mahomet and Champaign clients already, so now they will have a proper meeting spot! We are grateful for yet another opportunity to expand and bring our design services closer to our clients’ homes. We have secured a location off East Main Street and are working hard to get it ready as soon as possible! What started out as one long room has already been sectioned off into multiple spaces, which should lend itself well for client meetings. Katie drew up the plans for this one, and construction has already begun!

The Mahomet showroom will house plenty of samples and displays, including a kitchen and meeting space with a whole wall of custom built-ins. As we anticipate growth, we will install glass doors to separate these two spaces so that design meetings can take place with less interruption. The custom cabinetry has been ordered and is set to arrive at the end of July. In case you’re wondering about our cabinetry lead time- yes, it does take longer than ordering from a box store. After all, its custom made to our designer’s exact specifications. We are looking into more options on how to lessen the lead time, but at the same time, you can’t rush handmade!

Once cabinetry is delivered and installed, we will be able to put away samples, set up furniture, and all the final touches to get this space ready for clients! We are excited to offer our full range of design services, including custom cabinetry, countertops, showers, etc. at this location. Similarly to the Peoria showroom, this location will be by appointment only as of now. To set up an appointment with our designer, Katie, at the Mahomet location, you can email her at katie@gravellanedesign.com. While this location is not officially open yet, Katie is already taking on new clients in the Mahomet, Champaign, and surrounding areas. Make sure to follow us along on social media for updates about this location!
