Kelly Hoppen founded the interior-design business Kelly Hoppen Interiors.
Hoppen is a British interior designer known for a minimalist style combining neutral colours, clean lines and influences from Eastern design. She established Kelly Hoppen Interiors and built a career designing residential, hospitality and commercial spaces.
She appeared as a Dragon on the BBC programme, bringing design, interiors and premium consumer products to the investment panel. Her expertise differed from that of investors whose principal experience was in manufacturing, retail chains or technology.
The company name can cause confusion because Kelly Hoppen is both the founder's name and the brand name. Hoppen also developed collections of furniture, home accessories and other design products, so the business should not be reduced to interior consultancy alone. Her Dragon's Den appearance was one part of a much longer design career.
