Meet Rita Lashmet
Award-Winning North Shore Interior Designer
For over two decades, Rita Lashmet has been the designer of choice for North Shore homeowners who value refined taste, architectural integrity, and lasting quality.
Rita's approach stems from a simple belief: your home should be both a masterpiece and a sanctuary. Not one or the other. While many designers chase trends or impose a signature "look," Rita creates timeless interiors that honor your home's bones, reflect your family's story, and adapt gracefully as your life evolves.
Rita's Design Philosophy
Every RL Design project begins with deep listening. Rita invests time understanding not just your aesthetic preferences, but how you live: how you entertain, where your family gathers, which rooms matter most, and what "home" truly means to you.
This insight informs every decision, from architectural millwork to fabric selection to furniture placement. The result is a space that feels like a natural extension of who you are.
