“The name Kelly Hoppen is synonymous with good design. Her name has also become inextricably linked to black, grey and taupe, featuring in a large number of her interior designs. Such has been Kelly’s success in using these hues in her design, that many clients commission Kelly purely on her skills in combining these colours successfully.

When designing her range of shutters, it was inevitable that taupe, greys and black would form the foundations of this shutter range. Kelly was exceptionally specific in designing these ‘primary colours’ of the range, ensuring that in the end we indeed found ‘The Perfect Taupe’ and that the other colours in the Kelly Hoppen Shutter range matched exactly Kelly’s preferences.

Kelly included a white that has a slight grey tinge, taking the edge of the starkness that a ‘pure white’ shutter can have when exposed to direct sunlight. However, moving beyond these solid colours the range of ‘overwashed’ stains that Kelly created are something quite unique in the world of shutters.

With elm shutters, the 2 different colour stains combine to create a sensational look, not seen before on a shutter. The warmth and style these shutters add to a window and room cannot be denied.”
