Rita Konig takes us inside her London home that’s charming but never saccharine, sure-handed without taking itself too seriously, and respectful of the past but never boxed in or confined by it. The decorator and design journalist shares her favorite design tricks, influences, and explains her theory that every room needs a bit of ugly to be successful.

The incomparable, exquisite taste of Rita König. Unpretentious, joyous and unequivocally English. Wonderful video, thank you Schumacher.

I love the whole place, especially the kitchen. She said one should have possessions, not props. I couldn't agree more. I've seen some people decorate with props (like fake "old" suitcases) and it always looks so contrived or like it's a shop display.

This is the difference between American and English designers- Brits tend to love a very cozy, non-pretentious atmosphere whilst many US based designers are crazy over Parisian/European style that almost every IG home influencer I see has the same wall moulding, french tapestry, hunting scenery wallpaper in their homes... Just an observation, not one is better than the other just a different take on things, is all. Lovely home ❤️

Konig has exquisite taste and such a unique personal style. A treat to get to see her flat....and the background music is sublime....can you share what it is?

I absolutely love Rita's style. And it also has to be said: she is looking fabulous herself, kind of younger, sleeker, I don't know☺

I love her sofa. So much character. Much more interesting than the boring white sofas we see in the mega mansions
