Inside the home of Kelly Hoppen

[@davejmanning544]

Probably the nicest dentist waiting room I have ever seen.

[@sexyblackcharlery]

Lol

[@dcoughla681]

Loved the presenter's style. He was charming and relaxed. He was absolutely right about people being afraid of dropping wine over the furnishings especially in front of the frosty faced Ms Hoppen. Although the home is very glamorous, it does seem like a chain hotel, very impersonal and sterile and not a place you would want to stay, not even for a dinner party. Guests to your home, whoever they are, should be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home.

[@tslilbearshoppe9870]

touche!

[@eduard1215]

good point

[@absolutelynot6086]

I can see how her interior design would appeal to a lot of hotels and stuff. Something cozy or colourful doesnt have commercial appeal but in my view a home shouldnt have commercial appeal, it should be a sanctuary, not a show house.

[@sarahlebeau3049]

I completely disagree. He was pretty obnoxious and Kelly Hoppen seemed annoyed with him. I wish I could mute him so that I could enjoy the video more.

[@darkspeed62]

I do agree that it felt a bit clinical, a bit cold and impersonal. The only nod perhaps to her personality was some of the photos and artwork. Beyond that, some of the elements seemed a bit tacky, like all the lighting fixtures.

[@huub1989]

I’ve been in airport terminals with more character and warmth! I suppose her spaces don’t exactly give you a warm embrace, more like a formal and distance creating handshake like the one at the end of the clip.

Extraordinary talent. Not minimalist or overloaded, just beautifully balanced (edited). Even her choice of dress allows her to stand out w/o distracting, simply brilliant. I am now a huge fan; well done, Ms. Hoppen.

I like her designs. I think, like her, I'm obsessed with experimenting with different textures while balancing these grey colours with beautiful details and plants.

These two create comedy genius! :D The decor is quite beautiful, although as she implies, it is a bit of a blank canvas upon which to cast your "find of the week", but very soothing, calming, relaxing... and for a certain type of person, that's what a home needs to be.

I feel terribly bad for Alexander... This was painful to watch. The person he was interviewing rather has very uncomfortable, condescending manner. It was- inappropriately unnecessary! Repugnant!

[@cbrooke16]

I liked the presenter. His humor was an acceptable attempt to contrast the seriousness of the space and it’s owner. If she hadn’t shut him down, this would have been more “hip”, thus entertaining a larger audience demographic. Instead, this tour felt intense and cold. Way too serious for a house tour. I did enjoy the home. It reminds me of the homes here in LA. Great design Ms. Hoppen! :)

[@mxc5356]

This house is not to my taste personally (except the bathroom which is lovely, though I miss elements in black), but part of the job of interior designers is to understand their client and use their knowledge and skills to craft a home bespoke for them. This video is just an insight into the home of a ‘designer of homes’; it is the one time we do not need to ‘want’ the designs for ourselves. If she were to design our homes, it obviously wouldn’t look the same. So from that perspective, we can appreciate the design of her home!

Y'all have to understand everyone's personal style is different, especially considering what you've grown up around. Hoppen is an interior designer, she knows her stuff and this home flows perfectly. This is a grown woman with no small children, it doesn't have to be family friendly, I'm sure when she throws her parties it isn't a bunch of kids around. Sure, it isn't the average family friendly home but that isn't her lifestyle and her use of space, color/tone, texture and shape is immaculate.

He should of quickly realised that when speaking about work and particularly when the work is in the persons own home and that said person has a huge reputation for that thing, they will be very 'work mode' and focused on communicating in that manner. She is a very focused woman and takes her work seriously, which is important when designing wealthy peoples properties and companies that supply the wealthy.
