We love working with Roxanne! We built a new 'house' in Yorkville and her interior design expertise created a beautiful 'home' we love. We had never worked with an interior designer before and Roxanne exceeded our expectations! She helped us select paint colors, furniture, area rugs, and blinds. Read more

Thank you so much for all your help in designing our living room. The pillows look great and it all came together. It has a new look and we have received compliments on the room. It was nice to meet you and appreciate your help.

I have worked with Roxanne on multiple rooms in my home. She has been wonderful to work with. Most recently she helped me redesign a large master bathroom that has now become my new favorite room in the house. Read more

Roxanne is delightful. She was very respectful of design issues that I wanted to keep. The help with color choices (my weak area) was wonderful. I needed help with my laundry area, and now the area is bright and organized. Hiring a designer is worth the investment and time.

I used Roxanne (Essex House) for window treatments for my patio door and the windows on each side of it. Was a very good experience and I am very pleased with the results. Made a stress free experience. Joyce Bell

We used Roxanne to update our window treatments. She treated us very well and was very dependable and followed up with us on everything. Our windows look beautiful, we are very happy with the results. I have already recommended Roxanne, you won’t be sorry- Roxanne was wonderful to work with.

Roxanne got me out of a jam and helped me find the perfect color for my master bath and bedroom. I had previously chosen a color on my own, but when the painter got it on the wall, I knew I couldn't live with it. I called Roxanne. Read more

I hired Roxanne because she was local. We remodeled to update our entire interior. I used her for color consultation, fireplace design, window treatments and custom bedding. She is very easy to work with, has good ideas and is cost conscious.

We needed advice and ideas to get going on our bathroom remodel. Roxanne came in with knowledge and confidence we could trust from the start. She adapted to every change and issue we encountered and we came out with what we feel is a masterpiece. Read more

My husband and I just wrapped up a major home remodel project and since neither of us have an artistic bone in our bodies, we made the decision to engage Roxanne Essex, Essex House Interiors. We did not once regret that decision. Read more

I was always afraid to hire a designer because of cost. I thought the consultation would be expensive and I thought a designer would push me to purchase their over priced products. I also thought a designer would push their opinions on me. You obviously did none of this and I LOVE you for it and LOVED the experience. You helped us a ton and people are always commenting about how beautiful our house is. A little direction goes a long way…you saved me time, money, and frustration.

I loved working with Roxanne! She taught me so much and was so patient with me. She designed beautiful window treatments and helped to accessorize our new home. She always responded to my communications quickly and thoroughly. And we had a lot of fun! Thanks again, Roxanne!

Roxanne has been my go to person whenever I need any decorating assistance... and believe me, I need assistance! Two houses. Multiple rooms. Just recently she helped redesign our master bath. She was able to bring over a handleful of samples and within 5 minutes we had our selections completed. Read more

Every morning as I stand at the top of the stairs and look down into our living room, I say, "Thank you, Roxanne!" She did a color consultation for me awhile ago. I had colors in mind, but she recommended different ones. Especially the color of the hardwood floors. Read more

Just completed my most recent project with Roxanne. She is a gem for sure. She takes the time to listen to what I want to do and then helps me make good design decisions. I trust her judgement. I am looking forward to my next design adventure with her.
