The Kelly Hoppen Look - DK Decor
Kelly Hoppen is one of the most celebrated, influential, and sought-after interior designers in the world. Her widely recognized style, known as the “Kelly Hoppen look,” features neutral color palettes, clean lines, and beautiful textures blended into sumptuous opulence. The London-based designer’s understated elegance fuses East with West creating charming warmth and sumptuous opulence.
With meticulous attention to detail, Kelly creates completely bespoke interiors that are both practical and luxurious. With more than forty years in the industry, her projects around the globe number in the thousands. The designer takes the time to understand the lifestyle of those involved ensuring a design tailor-made for their needs.
The designer’s 9,000 square-foot residence in Central London highlights her talent and demonstrates her signature style. She transformed the shell of a 19th century converted schoolhouse, later used as a warehouse into a two-story, six-bedroom home. Calming shades of white, grey, taupe, and beige contrast with darker woods, creating a timeless elegance. Luscious fabrics of suede, wool, and cashmere add depth and sensuality.
A vast open-plan space with 20-foot ceilings combines the living and dining areas with the kitchen. At the front, two eight-person sofas gather with various armchairs, chaise longues and two-seat sofas to form a seating zone beneath three tall windows. The arrangement holds up to thirty people, for Kelly loves to entertain.
“I was looking for something big, light and airy and that is why this space was so perfect because it encompasses those things.”
The center of the open space holds the dining area, with a rustic table that can seat thirty people.
A bespoke designed, black metal lighting fixture hangs above the table.
The long kitchen is situated towards the back and features cabinetry by Boffi, stainless steel, Caesarstone and oak finishes. Chain-mail-and-cotton blinds replace conventional window treatments. A more intimate dining area completes the space.
“My color scheme is always neutral. I use a lot of whites, grays, and beige. Taupe is my absolute favorite! I find these colors incredibly soothing, and they are the perfect base for any design. When adopting a neutral palette, you can add beautiful splashes of color that will instantly brighten up any interior.”
The entrance includes a grid design on the marble floor and swivel panels which emphasize the ceiling height. Five Carrara marble steps lead down into the spacious living area. Lights in the steps create ambiance.
“My philosophy has always remained the same. It’s about creating calm, balanced environments based on Eastern cultures, i.
e., order and creation of harmony. How people feel in a space is as important as the way it looks; one can’t be without the other to succeed.”
Bespoke grey lacquer swivel panels function as a partition between the living and private spaces.
Kelly is extremely passionate about making her design ethos accessible to the everyone. Her hugely popular, luxury e-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.
Create Timeless Elegance
The master bedroom is upstairs and overlooks the living space below. The ceiling is lowered above the bed to mitigate the scale and create a more intimate feel. Bedside lamps from Ochre hang against a backdrop of ribbed panels flanking either side of the bed.
“I’m enormously flattered that the ‘Kelly Hoppen look’ has become one which is both widely recognized and used by many people around the world when developing the interior style for their own homes.
Neutral palettes, beautiful textures, and an East meets West aesthetic are all parts of my signature look. I’ve always wanted people to feel a great sense of warmth in their home, cocooned in comfort and surrounded by gorgeous pieces which I’ve discovered, all of which help to enhance those feelings of calm and relaxation.”
The master bathroom includes a free-standing bath designed by Kelly elevated on a marble platform with concealed floor lighting. A Niamh Barry loop chandelier hangs above.
“Lighting is of the utmost importance when designing your interiors. I like to think it is like magic dust but, if you get it wrong, it can be a disaster! Adding lighting to a room is very easy – it just takes a bit of thought. Add a few small up-lighters around your home, behind pieces of furniture or in corridors to illuminate your interiors.”
The spacious dressing room features large, black-and-white photographs, pendant lamps, and a full height triple-sided mirror.
“It is so important to create a timeless elegance in your home. Trends fade, but you want your designs to stand the test of time and always look chic. Instead of following a clear trend, adapt your home for the season by changing your accessories, update your sofa with some new cushions or hang some new art.”
OTHER PROJECTS COMPLETED WITH THE KELLY HOPPEN LOOK
“It is important to create an uncluttered ambiance. Add too much, and you run the risk of feeling claustrophobic in your own home. Overdecorating will also make your space appear smaller than it is.”
“My design is all about texture as I like to touch and feel my surroundings. Whether you use velvet and mix it with sheers or wood with chrome, it is the one texture bouncing off the other that is important.”
That concludes our design inspiration for today, my friend.

Kelly Hoppen: light and atmosphere at home
Lighting design is a separate area of design, more and more experts emphasize how important it is to take a responsible approach to the choice of lighting systems, having thought through every detail.
English designer Kelly Hoppen in one of her books devoted a separate chapter to the topic of lighting, explaining the "golden rules" of lighting design in interiors.
According to her, "lighting is the most sensual component of design" , because it is thanks to light, both artificial and natural, that you can change the atmosphere in the rooms and the mood of those who are in them. To create a completely personalized lighting system, the designer needs to learn about the customer's lifestyle, their daily routine and where each of the residents of the house prefers to spend most of their time. She advises also to mark on the plan areas filled with natural light, and those in which artificial lighting is required.
Kelly Hoppen divides lighting into three types: functional, mood-creating and decorative.
By directing light on individual objects, you can make architectural flaws invisible and, conversely, draw attention to individual elements of the room. As an example of , Kelly Hoppen cites lamps built into shelves, which in the evening can become an alternative to the main room lighting and create a special mood. Most lighting fixtures - table and floor lamps - are real works of decorative art, many of them can be made to order and become additional design accessories.
In addition to lighting rules, Kelly Hoppen designed a collection of lamps and chandeliers, which can be found in the online store Casa Ricca . We present you a selection of several items from Studio Kelly Hoppen .
1.
Ceiling light is one of the key elements of lighting systems. It is he who allows you to "flood" the room with light in moments of absence of natural sources. Large chandelier Marilyn with decorative steel sheets is both a source of light and a main accessory for the living room. A set of three pendant lamps Bessie with bronze lampshade decor will add style and elegance to your kitchen or dining room.

2. Reading is one of the common activities in the living room, and it is important that there is always a suitable source of light nearby. Snow white floor lamp Anya is exactly what you need. Light colors, laconic forms of this lamp and the base, reminiscent of a classic column, allow it to fit perfectly into any interior. Another version of the reading lamp is the Bessie model with a natural marble base and a transparent glass shade.

3. Table lamps provide some light, but according to Kelly Hoppen , their main purpose is to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere. A universal model for a sofa table in the living room or for a chest of drawers in the bedroom - lamp Parker . A gold-coloured stainless steel base and a fabric lampshade are the two components of this model, which will become not only a part of the lighting system, but also an elegant decorative element.

4. The original design of the table lamp Ray allows it to become an interior accent. Artistically made of metal, the lighting fixtures are designed to create visual effects, the play of light and shadows, giving extra depth to the spaces, according to the designer.

good lighting details and tricks • Interior+Design
Design
Kelly Hoppen, celebrity British designer and head of Kelly Hoppen Interiors, shares his experience with Russian pros.
Topic of conversation: light and its sources.
“The most comfortable light is at table lamps. If there is not enough space and there is nothing to put lamps on, use floor lamps. A big plus: they can be moved around the room.
Floor to ceiling "Light sources in a room should be many and located at different levels" - this rule Kelly Hoppen considers the main condition for good lighting. In the lobby, for example, she likes to center an eye-catching original ceiling light and complement it with built-in spotlights that enhance the reflective effect of the polished marble floor. The steps are additionally illuminated by horizontal inserts. Kelly often directs the light onto lacquered furniture and mirrors, a technique that increases the amount of light. And when the light is everywhere, the room seems larger.
Backlighting helps soften the contrast between light walls and dark furniture.
Ensemble Decorator Kelly Hoppen dispenses with bright colors, building the interior on subtle shades of white, gray, beige. In such an environment, lighting becomes especially important. “Choose light bulbs with a warm, yellowish tone,” Kelly advises. “They have a softer, homely glow.” Her works impress with a variety of textures, she mixes velor, silk, linen, cotton, wool. “Lighting helps bring out the individuality of the material,” recalls the decorator.
A luminaire does not always have to be a purely functional element. A spectacular chandelier helps to balance the composition.
Local skin When many islands of light are created, the central chandelier is not needed. In addition, sometimes the proportions of the room do not imply the presence of a front chandelier - in this case, Kelly tries to choose an overhead ceiling light. A similar technique works both in the bedroom and in the living room. Kelly Hoppen prefers a modern style, but actively uses the symmetry that is inherent in classic interiors.
