British interior designer Kelly Hoppen launches her new book with tried and tested home design tips that combine concepts from the East and West
The name Kelly Hoppen equates to neutral tones, clean lines and a subtle blend of interesting textures that, when put together, bring out her signature East-meets-West style. For more than four decades, she and her talented team have created a portfolio of multi-faceted couture interiors, advising clients on every aspect and detail of a project. This year, the designer releases a new book titled, Kelly Hoppen’s Essential Style Solutions for Every Home, where she shares her wealth of professional know-how and cost-cutting suggestions. With over 200 images carefully curated by a world-renowned design guru, this book promises easy-to-follow hacks and solutions that can work for every home. Tatler chats with Hoppen to ask her about practical home-styling tips.
