It's amazing how I find EVERY single piece used in this room incredibly incredibly ugly and yet I find the room as a whole adorable. It's like some sort of magic. Rita truly is very talented.
Rita has a style that nurtures the soul. People feel comforted in her rooms because of her intuitive sense of colour, scale, pattern and placement. I'm inspired. Thank you Rita.
So thoughtful, so Right. I love the way she always has comfort and practicality in mind but has great sensitivity to colour, texture and beauty. She’s a genius.
Thank you for a number of really great tips on decorating a home. When i think about how I want to decorate my first home, I do think in layers. I think about rugs, paintings, lamps, and writing tables. Specifically a place to sit down quickly and dash off a few emails or to pay a few bills. This room was so warm. I do think about wallpapers and paint and colors. I am still looking for the right house and these tips help me to understand how to work with the living room so it's comfortable and generates a feeling of warmth.
Utterly sublime and an uniquely English sensibility. It is a real art to create a sitting room look so welcoming and effortless. And Rita does it so well. Adore the fabric - was it Lumac or Luma? Couldn’t quite work that out. Would absolutely love to know?
I love your video. I learnt from you in your previous videos about taking furniture away from the walls, putting something behind a couch. I took that advice and it works in my home. Hope to see more videos from you. Felicity Jacobs, Cape Town, South Africa
Loved the video! Thank you for including specific scenarios. So many interior designers describe their process as more instinctive, that pieces just go together. My favorite tip is about bigger furniture pieces in a small room, and how they can enhance a space without making it seem smaller.
I so appreciate showing a room with standard height ceilings. I wish my house had 9' or 10' ceilings, but it's a 1960 house with just 8' ceilings. This video is really inspiring because what Rita did with this room is charming and can be replicated in the kind of homes most people have.
Don't need tables at either end when you have a good coffee table... I've floated a sofa similarly with a low bookcase behind it, about 1 foot short the width of the sofa on either side (making getting around it easy enough to do), and a lamp (electric outlet in the floor). The color of the wall paper goes with everything. That's the colour of the paint I used (the background of the print) and I painted the room that colour despite it not matching anything in the room; what it did was make all the other colours pop. Pretty room.
Thank you for posting and letting us in on these thoughtful ideas in approaching a space. I’m curious if the wallpaper was already in the house or where it can be found? It’s beautiful and I’m thinking it can be used in our (one and only) living room which maybe now I’ll call sitting room :) Thank you!
Rita's choices are always right. i wish she could tell me what to do with a rectangular room that has 10 ft ceilings with an off center fireplace. it is miserable

They are full of character but they can be full of problems too. Plumbing and electricals could be outdated and many have low ceilings and poky rooms that are hard to deal with.
Iconic Rita Koning designs are cozy , livable , timeless ! Soothing ! Lovely … always a treat

Thanks so much, we think she's a genius too
Beautiful and incredibly inspiring....as always Rita!
We love Rita too!
It’s a beautiful cozy room and I always love Rita’s vision. I would love to see how she would decorate a very small cottage type house.
Have you seen her stunning English farmhouse, North Farm? It features in her first course, The Ultimate Guide to Interior Design.
Just love everything Rita does - gorgeous room!
Thank you for your comment, we love Rita too!

I LOVE how Rita says the word - room.

Hi Felicity, thanks so much for taking the time to drop such a lovely comment. We're so glad that you are enjoying our courses
Yes especially putting something behind a couch works very well.
maaan, every word she says about the pictures and lamps...gold!
Beautiful old world and so cozy and inviting. Tea time conversation for sure!
Rita has created such a comforting environment!

A true master!
Love her homey style and I love her English accent.
Thank you so much
Love the nutmeg colors!
brilliant and useful.
Masterful!
Rita the master!
Clever layout, feel totally inspired.
Thank you! Rita is incredible
I love that British designers will not waste any space.
A great design tip.
Beautifully cozy.

Where is the wallpaper from ?
Why are the videos on youtube in a dazzling 4K, whereas the resolution on your actual create academy site lingers at 720p?

just one question rita, how do you keep grass or sisal rugs clean i would imagine vacuuming would just ruin the surface ?
Anyone know where to find cane shades like these? Struggling to find them of this quality
I’ve seen them on Etsy!
I am looking to purchase a home from the 1890s or 1920s. Those homes have such character.
They are full of character but they can be full of problems too. Plumbing and electricals could be outdated and many have low ceilings and poky rooms that are hard to deal with.
She chooses hot colours which many would be reluctant to use. But makes it look presentable
💟
❤
And what is that color?
Ruum or room... not easy to make a space looks like its so old fashioned.
дякую ))
Ok, but who chose the blinding white cutting the scenes? Absolutely terrible, especially if you're watching in low light environment.
I love it, but couldn’t live in rooms that are too busy.
