About

Rita Konig has worked as an interior designer and journalist for the past 17 years both in the UK and in the US. She’s known for her relaxed style and believes the best kind of rooms are the ones that make you want to sit down and hang out.

Rita’s interiors layer colour and texture, creating a calming patchwork of old and new which result in elegant, lived-in feeling rooms. Her clients are the cornerstone of her design approach and every project is based on a thorough understanding of the individual brief. Working on both commercial and residential projects globally, Rita creates interiors that go beyond current trends and reflect the style and lives of the people that live there. More recently Rita has launched a new online course with Create Academy.

Rita is passionate about sharing her expertise and empowering people to decorate and design their homes themselves. For 6 years Rita wrote a column for House and Garden called Rita Notes, and in the past 5 years Rita has held workshops at her own home in West London.

Client Testimonials

"Rita Konig exceeded every expectation one could possibly imagine. She solved my problem and her suggestions made the room so much better. I am beyond thrilled. I learned so much in just one hour. She is brilliant (and warm and friendly)!! She left me feeling optimistic about a project that was a fail. She is a treasure. I would give her 10 stars if I could!"

"If you are on the fence, do it! You will be impressed with how much you can cover and the clarity of thought a consult provides. I had high hopes having seen and heard Rita in various design magazines. She was incredibly thoughtful, focused and generous with her time, her ideas and her insights (in our case on layout and space and project scope for a complete renovation). This has saved us hours of time and a lot of money. Thank you!"

"Excellent! I really like the one hour sessions and have done several working on one room at a time. This time we worked on my master bedroom and as always Rita knows how to bring a room together. Each room is unique but flows beautifully. Thank you, thank you, Rita!! "

"I'm reluctant to sound too over the top about my hour with Rita in fear of shooting my credibility, but the truth is it was the most beneficial, efficient, and constructive time I can imagine. Rita was generous and genuine, and and her suggestions were specific and inspiring. Our conversation gave me the confidence I needed to continue in the direction I was heading, but Rita also (thankfully!) told me when she thought I should pivot. I very much hope to be able to schedule again with her soon."

"We have come away from our session with Rita excited and energised with decorating ideas for our house. She completely put us at ease and both listened/ guided us through a wide array of wallpaper/ paints/ schemes. I also appreciated her practical suggestions, which though deceptively simple, will make so much difference. It was a great session and we look forward to our second one next week! Thank you so much Rita (and The Expert for facilitating)!"

"Our two sessions with Rita have been fabulous. I can't believe how much we covered in each hour. She is so thoughtful, generous and focused with her time. The reason we chose the sessions specifically with Rita is her inimitable style. I cannot wait to try the AP wallpaper scheme in our house!"

"My husband and I absolutely loved our session with Rita. We had already watched her (highly recommended) course on Create Academy and mainly wanted her help with the layout of our living room. We implemented her suggestions and the room has transformed! We now find ourselves very much wanting to be in a room we otherwise didn't use much. Rita is incredibly charming so spending an hour talking to her was a delight. She gave us lots of input and inspiration that we cannot wait to play with."

"Lovely to meet Rita...she is as sweet and kind and down to earth as I imagined she would be. What a talent! It was so nice to have fresh eyes on my room and just the little touches that she suggested has made all the difference. Very thorough, used the time well but I need three or four more appointments! Thank you, Rita...for not only your wonderful design suggestions but your philosophy on how to think of a guest room. I am starting fresh!!"

"I absolutely love having access to Rita with this service. She has been able to help me make big interior design decisions via zoom, which I was skeptical about in the beginning. She has chosen paint colors and wallpapers from afar and they have ALL been spot on. She is also able to make decisions quite quickly so we can cover a lot of ground in each session. She’s sensitive to budget. Come prepared with your questions and you’ll be surprised with how much you can achieve. I highly recommend! "

"I've enjoyed two sessions this week for two different projects. As always, exceptional! I truly appreciate ending up with a manageable, detailed plan. It's also such fun gaining new ideas and fabrics that I wouldn't have known to look for. Thank you, Rita!"

"You know how they say, don't meet your heroes? Well, if Rita Konig is your hero, MEET YOUR HERO! (And if she isn't already, she WILL BE after a consultation.) Just had a wonderful and productive 2 hour session with Rita, and hope to schedule further. She was incredibly helpful, creative, and completely focused on my goals and questions, as though I were a full client of her firm. Her suggestions (just like her work) were both practical and design-forward, and added enormously to the spaces. Yay!"
