Returning Home: The Story of a Well-Loved House

In the first book of her interiors, award-winning designer Konig shares the evolution of her charming home.

Known for her relaxed, layered style, AD100 and Elle Decor A-List designer Konig believes the best interiors invite you to come in, sit down, and enjoy yourself.   

Returning Home is an intimate, inviting look at the design process from one of today’s most accomplished decorators. Konig brings us inside the renovation and redesign of her London home as it happened over several years. Composed with the feel of a design journal, with archival images of the way the rooms used to look, notes from Rita, and beautifully patterned pages, the book is a rare personal look at a designer’s process. 

Konig first purchased a small apartment in the building when she was single, and over the years acquired more of the house as her life evolved through marriage and a daughter. She takes us room by room through the house, from the elegant living room to the kitchen rich with storage to the enchanting garden, illuminating the design process for each space, and taking the fear out of renovation. 

With tips on styling, entertaining, and living well, the resulting book is the perfect blend of beauty and advice for anyone who wants to learn how to create rooms with personality, charm, and comfort, or just luxuriate in a beautiful design book.
