Now that all white minimalist design has been adapted to ensure one's home has resale value....it's nice to see someone throw personality (colour and/or textures) into their home based on themselves.

I love everything Rita does. I wish she would start her own channel so we could see more of her work.

Happy people live in houses like this! ❤

What a charming woman, and such an inspiring house!

[reformerx]

Their beautiful home is not just designed, it is an expression of this woman and her family. Their home is lived in, but not cluttered, it is orderly and meaningful. The design is easy and light, doesn’t scream in your face like many other designers’ homes. If I ever needed help to decorate my home this is the door I would knock on.

I love everthing I have ever seen Rita do, and even more I love Rita. Such a refreshing lack of vanity and so down to earth.

"you need to have a table for your drink and light to read your book" yes! also sitting on a sofa with a drink in a dress can be so hard. I completely agree about sofas that hold you up...

[Stoneknits]

She’s so good at explaining why she does things and making it all seem very accessible to do for everyone.

Love how her over the top colors are pastells. :D It's a lovely house of course and she's so right about furniture that stays with one.

Rita is the QUEEN and I’m obsessed with her. Please start a channel!

These types of beautiful, colourful farm houses remind me of the doll house I had when I was little. I just love these, they are so cozy.

[NancyMartinMysteries]

More Rita, please! And more and more!

[billieelliott]

More, more, more! Love Rita Konig’s approach to design. Would love to see more homes that are cozy and inviting!

[lsamoa]

Totally not my style, I'd never decorate my house like this. But I'd absolutely love to visit hers and spend the day. It's so welcoming, colourful and full of cute things to look at everywhere!

[olympiagrace]

I just love her overall aesthetic...so much character. I think she just convinced me to embrace colors and textures that is opposite the Scandi minimalistic trend that I've been following.

An exceptional home.. The bedrooms look so comfy..in fact that carries thru every where you look..the sofa covered in corduroy could be a jacket at you pointed out.

Everything I imagined an english country farmhouse would have and more. Love the bedroom with the wall covering, valance, and curtains done in one print. To hell with open concept, magnolia home and property brother boring interiors.

I just love her, her voice and gravel and slightly sleepy eye with her genius. I could listen to her go on for hours.

I am blown away by her kitchen. Reminds of the optical illusion of the vase vs. two faces - that room so seamlessly (and magically) blends an elegant, large dining room and a warm, bright, cozy kitchen. Totally fantastic.
