We consulted Roxanne with Essex House Interiors for our Master Bedroom Drapes. She went over many options that would fit our needs. Our Drapes turned out beautifully and we are very pleased! The fabric is exceptional and her prices are very reasonable, especially when you compare her with other establishments. Josh with Silhouette Builders is her installer and he did an excellent job!

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. Roxanne is affordable, easygoing, offered solutions but let us make the final decision, and is budget conscious yet found ways to fulfill our dreams. We would definitely recommend Roxanne and are currently working with her on our next project.

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. I love every color scheme we picked out together from the quartz, the shower tiles, vanity and paint color. She is always willing to answer my questions and is prompt in doing so. She was always willing to meet me to select the perfect color combinations or make additional trips to my home when I needed more advice. I highly recommend Essex Home Interiors to anyone looking to update or redesign a room. I will be asking for her help in 2025 with the next bathroom remodel. Thanks, Roxanne!

After living in our house for over 18 years our house was in need of a make over… My husband and I had been planning on remodeling our downstairs (Kitchen, living room, family room, powered room…) for the last few years. Unfortunately with our crazy work schedules and the amount of decisions needed to be made, the process became overwhelming, we simply were not making any progress. Once we hired Roxanne things started to move, she helped us sift through and decide on the major pieces. Kitchen cabinet color, style, layout, Countertop, backsplash, lighting, flooring, paint color, furniture style colors, fabric type, etc! Our home is not quite done yet, but the major pieces that were holding us back are done and so far we are very happy with the outcome! If you have an idea of what you want but simply are having a hard time pulling it together or can’t agree with your significant other on the direction of your project, I would definitely hire Roxanne to help you move along!

Roxanne does amazing work and the passion she has for helping her clients achieve results shines through. I needed help with everything from paint colors to overall decorating in my wellness center and it turned out beautifully! She is very creative, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend her services.

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

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. Thankfully she was available the next day, and in 1 hour, she gave me two options to consider. The cool thing is, she helped me think outside my box and I ended up choosing a beautiful shade of gray that I never would have chosen on my own. And I love it! Every day when I walk into my bedroom, it feels relaxing and inviting. Thank you, Roxanne, for helping me find the perfect color!

I have known Roxanne for many years. She has been a huge part of the success I have achieved with two wellness businesses. She was able to make the visions that I saw in my mind come to life and the rooms she created for me are beautiful. She is patient, focuses on quality, and is a true professional. Working with Roxanne is an absolute pleasure because she has a genuine caring about her work, and it shows in her results.

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. Thank you for your guidance through what felt like a monumental project before we even started.

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. We told her the general look we wanted, and we really appreciated that she took that input and never tried to steer us in a different direction. Roxanne helped us with paint color selection, furniture ideas, room layouts, hanging artwork, and more. She made numerous visits to our home as the project progressed and was so accommodating to phone calls/texts with questions. She also accompanied us to pick out light fixtures and other pieces. To say that we got great customer service from Roxanne would be an understatement. And our home looks fantastic – in large part due to her expert guidance. Thanks, Roxanne!!

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. Took away the stress of what I think is a big stresser, making decisions! No time wasted running around. What I really love is that she is mindful of listening to our needs and working within our limits whether that be time or money. Definitely have her come take a peek if you're considering any projects, big or small❤🏡

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. I seriously was not sure about it, but followed the expert's advise. She was right! I just love the color combinations! Thank you, Roxanne!

Right from the start I knew I had found the right person for the job. Our project started off small but once we knew we were in great hands with Roxanne we had fun tackling more things in our home. Her attention to detail is remarkable and her knowledge is extremely helpful especially to those of us who need help- like us! It was truly a pleasure working with Roxanne and we look forward to our next project!

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.

Maggie's Interiors is a great place to get help with interior design. They are very knowledgeable.

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.

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.

RK & MK, Crest Hill, IL

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.

Debbie Dudek, Channahon, IL

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.
