A house where your voice echoes means it's a cold empty grey space.

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.

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.

It looks like a shop where you have to put everything on display I mean look at the dining table, the amount of plant pots on top is horrendous and look hideous. The amount of decorative pieces on the shelf is unbelievable.

Amazing coordination of features and details within the different spaces. Phenomenal for the hotel industry. She has an eye for calming environments for leisure and comfort.

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!

I like her selfconfidence, because to be a great designer you have to be confident in yourself. I would like to be a designer one day, and I'm looking up to her.

How does she have an MBE???

Awesome place! Congratulations!

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.

I loved the previous double townhouse she had, and the style and colors she used there.

Wonderful...pretty! Incredible desing!

This home is beyond my imagination! So creative and interesting! Love all the structure detail and architecture feel. I wish I have her ability to create such beautiful space! There's no best only better!!

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.
