Kelly Hoppen– Living Design

Kelly Hoppen is best known as the interior designer whose calm, elegant aesthetic has permeated our consciousness and achieved an iconic (and much imitated) status. In October 2004, Kelly celebrated 25 years in business, and the culmination of a number of ambitious projects.

In addition to leading her celebrated interior design studio – which has completed international schemes for houses, apartments, yachts, a hotel and numerous corporate spaces – Kelly has successfully implemented her unique approach across a number of business areas, firmly establishing her reputation as designer, retailer, author, educator, innovator and inspiration.

Retail

In 2002, Kelly opened a shop in London’s Brompton Cross offering furniture, accessories and licensed products such as her paints, her Wedgwood collection, bed linen, carpets, rugs, taps….. and services from wedding list to interior design consultancy. The same format has been rolled out in the USA when Kelly Hoppen emporia opened in Bergdorf Goodman in New York and Neiman Marcus in San Francisco and Miami.

School

Members of the public can access the Kelly Hoppen brand even more closely through the Kelly Hoppen School. Every course allows up to 15 students to learn about Kelly’s approach to interior design including styling, budgeting, sourcing, dealing with the client and time management.

Books

Kelly launched in October her fifth book, the latest in a dynamic and successful publishing programme. Part retrospective and part manifesto, Kelly Hoppen Style, the Golden Rules of Design explores Kelly’s global influences, reveals stunning new interior projects and offers guidance on how to recreate her style. Kelly Hoppen’s other books are East Meets West, Table Chic, In Touch, and Close Up.
