Inside Rita Konig’s London House, a Wonderful Combination of 2 Flats | Design Notes

Показать описание
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.

While I love Rita's renovation of her home, I truly love her emotional transparency and willingness to be vulnerable in it. It's surprising that difficult changes often create beauty...❤ Kudos, Rita.🎉

I unexpectedly got divorced at 50 and I adore this video, your wonderful new flat and your attitude and transparency. You and your mum are, not only marvellous interior designers, but also excellent leaders for women. A big THANK YOU ❤ from Spain.

Any house or room that Rita Konig has designed is something I want to see. Design genius meets real life practicality and all with a sense of humour. I love it!

Awe Rita, thank you for allowing us in your delightful home! I love the commentary too. You've got to have something a bit ugly, a room can get too pleased with itself. Finding that balance and rhythm of daily life as it's reflected in our spaces is refreshing. Such a fan. You keep it real but never compromise good quality pieces and common sense.

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~~~!

The rooms designed by Rita Konigs are, as always, amazing. 💛
She combines colors and fabrics that you would think would be impossible to combine to create exciting and successful interiors.

Masterful! 💛

Love how her brain works. She decorates to my soul.

I love residences that look like someone actually lives there as opposed to looking like a showroom. I am not a matchy matchy person, so a collected over time, somewhat eclectic style feels inviting and comfortable. Every room has a story. For me, this is a lovely interior with a very pretty "I want to sit and sip a cup of tea" garden space. Thank you for this.

Having moved to USA from England over 3 decades ago, I yearn for sophisticated combinations of colour and pattern in homes to overcome the formulaic, static sameness of American decor -- Rita is my antidote!! Gosh -- her flair is breathtaking!!

Always been a huge fan of Rita, for her common sense and individual sense of style. Her remade flat is gorgeously her, and inventive and homely.

When I turned 30 I thought that I knew what life was about and what I wanted then when I turned 40 I was top of my game physically but boy did I make bad choices. At 50 I felt a sense of calm and didn't care about what life threw at me, I felt I could handle anything but in a quiet determined way. At 60 I have no damn idea how that went as I had long stopped counting. I will be 70 in a couple of years and strangely I am looking forward to that, to ticking that box, not that it means anything in reality. Back to the video what a wonderful home and I love how Rita talks, very strongly quiet.

Love your place. My favorites were the dining chairs, the zebra print and those wonderful pink curtains. Very subtle and sophisticated. You are a lovely lady. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your life story with us Rita. This certainly is one of the most emotional videos I’ve ever encountered on this channel and from you as well. I felt tears streaming down my face when you talked about the divorce and having to remove the parts of the house that you didn’t want and adding and keeping things that you wanted.

Wishing you all the joy and freedom in this chapter of your life as you create new memories in your apartments.
