Intentional Living, Designed.
Spaces. Rituals. Edits.
We believe a well-designed life at home is shaped not only by the rooms around us, but by how we use them and what we choose to bring into them.
Rita has developed a formula:
Spaces explores how thoughtful design can support the way we want to live—from rooms designed for gathering and connection to spaces created for rest, restoration, creativity, and quiet.
Rituals looks at the everyday moments that happen within those spaces—the morning coffee, dinner around the table, reading before bed, entertaining friends, or finding a few quiet minutes to ourselves—and how design can help us experience them with greater intention.
Edits is Rita's curation of furniture, lighting, materials, objects, and ideas selected for their beauty, function, and ability to add something meaningful to the way we live.
Together, they form the foundation of the Rita Naffas Design philosophy:
Design the space. Create the ritual. Curate what belongs within it.
Because a beautiful home isn't only something to look at. It's something to live in.
Private Projects & Creative Collaborations
While Rita Naffas Design has expanded beyond the traditional design studio model, creating meaningful spaces remains central to our work.
We accept a limited number of private residential interior design projects and creative collaborations each year, allowing Rita to bring the philosophy behind Spaces, Rituals, and Edits into select projects in a deeply considered and personal way.
For private project inquiries, brand partnerships, and creative collaborations, please contact us.
About Us
Rita Naffas Design is rooted in a simple belief: interior design can be about more than creating beautiful rooms. The spaces around us can shape how we feel, connect, and experience everyday life.
Founded by interior designer and curator Rita Naffas, the studio has evolved from a traditional interior design practice into a destination for ideas, inspiration, and a more intentional way of living at home.
Through her work, Rita explores the relationship between design and intentional living—asking not only How should this space look? but how do we want to live within it?
Meet Rita
Rita Naffas is an interior designer and curator with a unique perspective shaped by both the analytical and creative worlds.
Before entering the world of design, Rita spent a decade in corporate consulting, working with Fortune 500 companies after earning her degree in engineering from USC. Following a life-changing chapter and the birth of her children, she returned to school to study interior design at UCLA and founded Rita Naffas Design.
Her engineering background taught her to think about how things work. Design taught her to think about how they feel. Together, they shaped an approach to interiors that considers beauty and function, but also something deeper: how our spaces can support the lives we want to live.
Today, Rita brings that philosophy beyond individual projects by curating and sharing design ideas, spaces, objects, and everyday rituals that inspire more intentional living.
Rather than simply asking what makes a room beautiful, she explores the questions behind it:
Can a bedroom help us rest better?
Can a kitchen encourage greater connection?
Can we create a space that gives us permission to slow down?
Can the things we surround ourselves with make ordinary moments feel more meaningful?
These questions became the foundation of her formula for intentionally living, designed.
