We are back with season 12 and in the spirit of fresh starts, get ready for a home makeover because today we are joined by one of THE names in interior design Kelly Hoppen CBE.
Since she started her business at just 16 years old Kelly has designed every kind of space imaginable from jets to hotels, become a TV personality on the likes of Dragon’s Den and now has her own collection for M&S.
In today’s episode Kelly talks about how losing her father at a young age propelled to start her business, being diagnosed with dyslexia as an adult, the scars that childhood bullying has left and why you should *NEVER* chop a cushion…
Along with giving us an interior design crash course Kelly shares so many great pieces of wisdom from her five decades in business so prepare to feel inspired. If you enjoy listening to Kelly, get in touch as I always love chatting to you and you can find me @joshsmithhosts across socials. Love, Josh x
P.S. I am thrilled this episode is brought to you in partnership with M&S to celebrate Kelly Hoppen’s incredible M&S design collections and her most recent debut launch into the world of M&S florals. It all began with her gorgeous Calla Lily’s and statement Orchid - that you can order online right now - and her next floral arrangement from the collaboration is coming in September. The Vintage Rose Bouquet features 12 luxurious roses in a soft, powdery pink, paired with rich burgundy leaves and architectural branches, creating a bouquet that’s both classic and contemporary.
