Interior designer Rita Konig on how to lay out your rooms | House & Garden

Totally agree it depends on your personal needs and the room size and shape... I hate clutter and lots of furniture and I hate a room full eg furniture in the middle etc ..also my kids and I love lying, sitting, playing games on the floor..so our sofa is against the wall and coffee table next to the sofa so we have a big open floor space infront to use ie. Playing, lying, doing sport etc.

The children get cleared away :-)

Sounds like I’m listening to the queen 😁

wonderful video, someone please tell her to buy a ruler.

Rita's advice to 'take your furniture' was an eye-opener for me when moving house recently. I was on the verge of buying all new furniture but ended up using what I had and it worked out wonderfully. Very grateful.

It's just strange to me how a video like this is needed and is needed. I never understood how people can not know these simple common sense rules to designing a room/interiors ??

But where does one find decent fabrics?? It's easier said than done, nowadays! (Oct '23)

So refreshing to learn from a considered, intelligent and knowledgeable person. Bravo Rita.

'fahplace in the rumm'

I agree she sounded just like Princess Diana

My son said recently my casita is overfilling with stuffs y looking back like in his toddler year almost 😆30 years now it’s just my largest Sony Bravia tv in wooden cabinet y large genuine leather couch y y home theater system with large Bose speaker 🔊 subwoofer y surrounds spkrs y a piano y 10 guitars (USA made y etc); my own drawn arts too😢( the kids are living independently now)

I wonder, what is the difference between a drawing room, sitting room and living room?

an ugly table can always be made good with a table carpet

someone who knows what they're doing

This being a very informative video with loads of inspirational ideas for the home. Thanks for sharing!

Who are these bizarre women, with their terrible problems with VERY LARGE ROOMS?

I very much enjoy how real and authentic she is when speaking. She's not trying to be pretentious in any way. This presentation is very calming, insightful and informative in a very relaxed, yet classy and relatable manner. Kudos!

So knowledgeable! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Rita.

She looking at me?

sometimes tv' can be hard to place with seating.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything she says, how she says it and how she is. REAL deal, no pretense, common sense, warm, and intelligent. Maybe I finally watched the only interior designer I would actually want to meet and work with.

This is a great video with good honest advice, politely given.

For anyone attempting to decorate without a designer, this is invaluable advice.

Remember, for the advice to be useful, don’t think you can cut corners. The professional has been kind enough to give simple but essential direction. Don’t think you know better

I love how she talks about clearing the children away at 6,7, 8 o'clock! Lol

Lay out your rooms exactly how you like them to look!
Never, ever listen to anyone as it's your home and your furniture and you live there!

Eu sonho com uma cozinha verde.❤️

She's good! I learned a lot. And her explanation sparked quite some new ideas to approach interior design.

"you must be led by the room and not the rule" such a great and simple advice we tend to forget

I love this lady!

I echo the sentiment expressed by many: MORE RITA, PLEASE. Straight-forward guidance from a charming voice of experience. Kudos.

Why does she remind me of Princess Diana?

I would manufacture and make the first levitation devices with floorboard electromagnetism with furniture and devices with core bases with opposite polarity to create levitation. Small air intakes and outtakes create the movement and bases for the levitation furniture and the height of the levitation can be achieved with the magnetic strength created by the rechargeable battery. Ladders will not ever be required.🤴🏽🕉🔺➕

This is the best and most honest interior advice I’ve ever heard

Too much talk not enough show

I learn English watching this video. Thanks

This may sound strange, but I find the ASMR quality of her tracing out the room, the clatter of the pencils, and her voice incredibly relaxing. Often watch this to go to sleep. Sorry Rita! Otherwise, great tips and love her wit.

would like to find more videos with Rita. Logical, relaxed, helpful.

Perspective and tips like no other I have seen on YT. Worth the watch.

This was so helpful!!!
Thank you.

J’adore magnifique

So wise

I would love to have lunch with Rita. She is so interesting and knowledgeable.

I love this. This is So Helpful. Thank you.. So smart, practical and true.

She reminds me of Princess Diana, when she speaks

Rita, where did you get that dress? i love it...

hay quá

I absolutely love Rita. I love how she mixes everything and end up with something absolutely beautiful and magical. I love colors and she knows exactly how to mix them and make them look beautiful together. I just loooove her style. I am decorating my home in the Dominican Republic and she is one I am definitely following her footsteps. My home is my maternal home and all the furniture there belonged to my mom ❤ hugs from NYC

Thank you for this wonderful ideas
