Biography

It was Kelly relentless passion for design, at 16 ½ years-old, which kick started her iconic career. Her first commission, to design a family friend’s kitchen, has led to multiple awards and numerous publishers and businesses continuously seeking her unparalleled expertise.

To celebrate her extraordinary career, Kelly released her tenth book, House of Hoppen – a 40 year retrospective, in October 2016 and a collection of over 100 pieces of furniture with Resource Décor which will be available in numerous retailers worldwide.  Kelly’s globally renowned and ever-evolving style is underpinned by a subtle coordinated fusion of East meets West; clean lines and neutral tones, blended with charming warmth and sumptuous opulence. She has put her stamp on the homes, yachts and jets of private clients all over the world and now focuses on commercial projects including hotels, bars, restaurants, offices, and tower blocks. With thousands of projects spanning the last four decades, Kelly’s portfolio boasts a diverse selection of projects. She has launched anything from one of the most sought after and exclusive addresses in China on Shenzhen Bay to the most impressive cruise ship to date with Celebrity Cruises Edge Class; helping to redefine travel.

Kelly is honoured to be the recipient of copious design awards and the proudest point in her career to date came in 2009, when she was made an MBE for her services to interior design. Recognised for the passion of inspiring women in business, she has also just been honoured with WIE (Women: Inspiration & Enterprise) Inspirational Award.  In recent years, Kelly’s career has expanded into TV and film, as she appeared in a cameo role in the new Absolutely Fabulous movie alongside Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley. In 2013 she became an investor on BBC Two’s hit show Dragon’s Den, where she invested in several businesses and this year she joined BBC Two’s The Great Interior Design Challenge as the newest judge on the show.

Kelly is extremely passionate about making her design ethos accessible to the masses. She is the author of ten books and in 2014 she launched e-commerce store kellyhoppen.com. The hugely popular affordable luxury store features a range of self-designed home products including accessories, bed linen, cushions, candles, furniture, towels, robes and lights, all carrying Kelly’s iconic style.
