The best London Interior Designers

Kelly Hoppen

Kelly Hoppen is a world-renowned British designer who has pioneered a simple yet opulent style that has permeated interior design at every level. Aside from designing apartments, houses and yachts for an ever-expanding international private client list, Kelly also undertakes commercial design projects including hotels, restaurants, office spaces and aircraft interiors. Kelly’s style can be best defined as a coordinated fusion of East meets West composed essentially of clean lines and neutral tones, blended with charming warmth and sumptuous opulence.

She started her career with just 16 years old! She had the opportunity to design a family friend’s kitchen and, for her work, received a modest commission, but that money and the experience itself helped Kelly’s grow her career as an interior designer. Hoppen grew a lot since them and, currently, she’s one of the Top British Designers of the World and a Champion of Women’s Rights in the Industry. She’s a strong Role Model for the Industry and it has been involved in hundreds of luxury design projects worldwide.

Kelly is very involved with fireplace brand Chesneys, having even her own collection as a partnership with that brand. All of the products of that range have a linear, minimalistic and elegant design, being some products that you can definitely visualize in your own living room.

When it comes to fireplace design Marble seems to be one of the favourite materials of the studio in that sense.

Zaha Hadid Architects

Till this day there isn’t one single project started by Hadid that her team didn’t finish in her memory and inspired by her directions!

In the new projects, the Zaha Hadid Architects strive to achieve the vision of Zaha Hadid and her attention to futuristic detail and, by doing so, they continue to be considered a reference within the Architectural and Design industries. Hadid definitely helped shaped today’s Architecture being responsible for some of the most stunning design projects in the World like the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre in Baku or the MAXXI – National Museum of the 21st Century Arts in Rome.

In one of Zaha Hadid’s most recent projects, specifically Capital Hill Residence in Moscow Russia they build a home based on the owner’s wishes to wake up and see the sky, hence the elaboration of a residence above the trees. The whole architecture of the home is pretty curvacious on the inside and outside, an aspect replicated by the modern fireplace in the living room. Not only does the product in question have a unique design to it, it is but also positioned behind a wide window with an astonishing view of the treetops.

David Chipperfield Architects

Among this portfolio of projects, there are cultural, residential, commercial, leisure and city projects, as well as master planning exercises.

One of the main traits of the apartments is the fact that they all will have modern linear fireplaces installed in the living rooms alongside some stunning views of the Hertzog Park located just ahead of the home.
