Essex House Interiors E-Design - Online Interior Design, is all about convenience, affordable design fees and timely turnaround for you, the client. Although it will not happen in one day E-design is still a true partnership between designer and client. With both working so that the typical design timeline is sped up considerably. All of the communication is either done by phone, email or video calls through “Zoom” which allows you to have more flexibility in your schedule. Let’s see if E-Design is the right choice for you!
No time constraints. The space can come together at your pace. Whether you want to execute the room(s) overnight or take 2 years from start to finish, the room(s) can evolve as you’d like. Once your plan is complete, it’s in your hands. You decide whether to move forward with the exact suggestions or use them as inspiration to find something else. You’re in control.
It’s affordable. Working with a designer, is often thought to be very costly and only for those with huge budgets, but that isn’t always true. When working with me, you will get the expertise of an educated, professional Interior Designer in a very affordable way. I do the legwork and research to create a one-of-a-kind room that is as “Unique as You”.
How it works: Fill out the questionnaire. I will invoice you through Quickbooks. Once the payment is received, you will receive an email response with my expert design advice and/or links to visuals to help solve your question.
The Questionnaire: Fill out a detailed questionnaire which covers everything from fabric, color and art preferences to timeline and budget.
Your Homework: You measure your space, take photos and make note of any existing pieces you want to work into the new design.
Vision board creation: A vision board is created based off the answers in your questionnaire with inspiration photos and a few furniture and decor pieces.
The Execution: You purchase the recommended items at your leisure and pull the room together once everything has been received.
Ask me one design-related question and you’ll receive a thorough, comprehensive response back. This service is for those clients that have a single question about a specific detail in a space.

Choosing a new paint color

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
