Rita Konig welcomes us into her London home, created by combining two flats. Eager to have more room for herself and her daughter, Rita Kong bought the flat above her London home and merged them to create one cohesive space that has all the trademarks of her design, including inventive details, bold use of pattern and a blending of the beautiful and the practical.
“There wasn’t a sadness of leaving a place, but I was aware that we were, sort of, going to be rubbing a lot out,” explains Rita as she reflects on the process of renovating her London flat. There is, however, one tell-tale sign of its previous life: the heavy wool C&C Milano striped curtains. “I think I spent eight months paying for them,” admits Rita, with a laugh. Watch the full episode of ‘Design Notes’ as we tour Rita Konig’s London home.

There is something about Rita Konig that draws you in. You want to hang on to every piece of advice she hands us. The way she mixes old and new and the things she's collected makes for a wonderful viewing experience. She seems so fun and joyful and that comes across in her designs. Do I want to copy everything in her apartment, YES! but, then it wouldn't be my space; do I want to pull some ideas from her apartment, absolutely. I love that wallpaper or using the colour burnt toast in my space but differently.
Love her videos; LOVED her Create Academy courses.
MORE RITA~~~!
Where is her Art ?
Wallpaper : “Headache” – by Schumacher
I've probably gone a bit heavy with odd, even ugly objects that I can't resist, but it's nice to have Rita's approval. I only wish the rest of my odd abode appeared to have been decorated by her!
Wow – the SKILL she has ! Bravo 👏👏👏
❤
Wow such a beautiful home full of characters and charm. 😊 the poster bed 🛌 and blue mirror 🪞 are to die for
love, obsessed, gorgeous. Always love Rita Konig and her incredible eye. Seeing how she adapts her surroundings with what stage of life she's in is inspiring as well.
I LOVE RITA!!!! Love to see her again!!!!
I couldn’t wait to click on this one. I love Rita’s style soooo much.
Would anybody happen to know where the sconces in the main bathroom come from? They look fantastic.
Absolutely fabulous ❤
So many things to love about this video. As an American who didn't grow up with any view towards interiors and comfortable living, I've long admired Rita's tasteful and comfortable approach to gracious living. I also just turned 40 a few days ago and can really relate to her sentiments of barreling towards a "big" age and feeling a sense of dread because of all the awful signals society gives women especially, about aging. The honesty about paying for things for 8 months (so relatable) and knowing that she couldn't do anything until she was divorced are great reminders that we're all human and have limits. Well done (again) to Rita on a lovely space; happy that it's one that really reflects and represents her tastes, life, and needs past, present, and future.
This is SO good.
Jawdroppingly gorgeous
I'm madly in love with Rita's house! Her home oozes style and warm sophistication.
Wow! What a sweet home? What color is your bathroom basin cabinet painted? It is perfect!❤❤❤
Lovely home , but weirdly the vocal fry has made it over the pond , unfortunately
I really like how all the colors, patterns and woodwork come together in the dining and kitchen area
I love it all the kitchen is my favourite the splash back with the wallpaper 😊🦘🐨❤️
So elegant, and so beautiful and cozy in the same time ❤ i adore colour palette and how liveable and not kind of staged interior it is , gorgeous ❤
I love all the colors and textures 🤗
I'm not an animal print girl …BUT I would KILLLLL for that sofa. I love the depth and boldness of that print..no mean lines ❤
Very creative.❤
How do you bring all the colours, textures, artefacts, lights, and personalities all together so magically that all of a sudden they are alive and vividly playing a harmony ♥ Sending respect and love to you, Rita.
Beautiful 😊
love how she describes colours… thx HG
The clutter would drive me mad. Way too busy for me. Charming woman though.
Beautiful.
The plinky music is distracting .
Love it! Always do you.
This home is amazing and interesting and beautiful!
Cool design
Great character filled rooms but I guarantee that she doesn’t dust them and clean all by herself. You think a bit differently about clutter when you’re the one cleaning all on your own.
🤩
This is my favorite.
0:40 such a dream
Every inch of this home and every second of this video is nothing but pure eye candy!!! I couldn’t take it all in fast enough.
Rita is great. I love her style and her personality
your taste is exquisite , classy and colorful
Not my vibe.
