Her trademark slick, neutral style is known – and replicated – the world over, but in her spacious house in west London, Kelly Hoppen has introduced some new ideas, creating an artful, open-plan space that is about so much more than taupe.
It is impossible to envision what Kelly Hoppen’s home might look like without picturing a few of the elements with which she is inextricably associated: there will be artfully arranged objets in multiples; there will be an East-meets-West reference, a Buddha perhaps.
