Hi — I’m Rita Menla. I’m an architecture student in Las Vegas and a lifelong home-design obsessive. I launched Room Reimagined because I believe great design should be welcoming, useful, and possible on any budget.

My training gives me a practical lens: I don’t just show pretty photos — I break down why a room works (proportion, light, circulation, texture), then show simple, step-by-step ways to apply those principles at home. My content mixes hands-on DIYs, realistic shopping guides, room-by-room makeovers, and honest product reviews — all tested in real spaces.

What to expect here:

  • Daily articles with actionable design ideas you can use immediately.
  • Honest, experience-based product reviews (no hype).
  • Budget-friendly transformations using thrift, smart geometry, and layered textures.
  • Practical how-tos with sketches, moodboards, and Pinterestable images.

Why trust Room Reimagined? I blend academic design foundations with everyday reality — I’m practicing what I teach. I photograph and test the projects I write about, include dimensions and materials, and link to the exact products or affordable alternatives I use.

If you want tips that feel personal, practical, and rooted in design thinking (not just trends), you’re in the right place. Subscribe for a weekly digest, or follow our Pinterest boards to see the visual inspiration behind each post.
