Kelly Hoppen founded the interiors business known as Kelly Hoppen Interiors before becoming a dragon on the British TV series Dragon's Den.
Hoppen is a British interior designer whose work is associated with a restrained style using neutral colours, clean lines and a blend of contemporary and classic elements. Her interiors career made her a recognized design entrepreneur before she joined the television investor panel.
The Kelly Hoppen Interiors name reflects her personal design practice and brand rather than a general category of homewares. Her work has included residential and commercial interiors, products and collaborations, allowing her to build a business around design expertise and licensing as well as individual projects.
Viewers sometimes confuse the brand with businesses connected to other female dragons. Deborah Meaden is primarily associated with investment and consumer businesses, while Sara Davies is known for Crafter's Companion. Kelly Hoppen's defining field is interior design.
