She helped us find needed suppliers and make choices from cabinetry, to appliances, to flooring, to paint colors and lighting options, all the while keeping us informed of progress.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Emily Roose Interiors for a refresh of our vacation home. From start to finish, Emily was professional, efficient and delivered exceptional results. One of the challenges we faced was timing, as the remodel needed to be completed around existing bookings for our rental home. However, Emily handled everything seamlessly, coordinating all aspects of the project including interior painting, carpet installation, and furniture purchase and placement. This was a huge relief for us, as we do not live nearby. Additionally, Emily was responsive and easy to reach throughout the entire process, and the project was completed within budget. I highly recommend Emily Roose Interiors for anyone in need of expert interior design services."

In our fast-paced industry where one (such as her) is expected to wear many hats, communicate with everyone involved, and magically turn chaos (i.e selections from various vendors) into beautiful harmony, Emily has proven herself to be a professional who is both willing and able to accomplish the task."

—James Dorman, Western Nevada Supply
Vendor

Much applause for a very talented designer who made an arduous process fun and exciting and more importantly, she made our house more beautiful and architecturally interesting than we ever dreamed!"

—Maura M.
Client
"We recently completed a custom home project with Emily Roose Interiors. She takes the time to understand your sense of style, look at your boards and share various concepts of design to "stretch" your design style. She does so very respectfully and is not offended if you do not like a particular choice or direction. When I was overwhelmed with selections, she narrowed down a few choices to help me focus and I couldn't be more pleased with our selections and the outcome. I feel that Emily absolutely nailed my style. I also appreciate her sensitivity around our budget and provided us several economical options to achieve the same look as many of my boards and choices. She has great connections with furniture makers and stays on top of delivery times, which was very difficult during COVID. I'm very pleased with Emily Roose Interiors."

She has done a tremendous job customizing each home accordingly with cutting edge interior finishes that were of the utmost quality while maintaining a tight budget. I would highly recommend Emily for any type of project as she is easy to work with and has no ego. She is up to speed on all the latest materials and installation as well as very budget-minded oriented.

My project was not "high-end” and ranged from $10,000 to $50,000." I worked with the owner - Emily Roose, she is professional, responsive and is flexible in providing both design options for consideration and price comparison."
