                                <p>As we enter the season of love, Valentine's Day tablescaping is at top of our mind. Whether you're setting the table for a party, a Galentine's brunch, or an intimate dinner with your other half, what's on the table can make all the difference. Though we've come to expect pinks and reds, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Cher's interior designer, switches it up with black and white.</p><p>He tells <em>Homes & Gardens</em>: 'The <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/dining-rooms/how-to-tablescape-for-valentines-day">Valentine’s Day tablescape</a> should always be something of beauty. Not only is it a moment of romance, but it’s also a chance to show your loved one how much you care about them and how you want to both impress and delight them with your style. The classic idea of red being the color of love is, of course, a vital part of the Valentine's Declaration of Love, but I like to incorporate that into My florals on the tablescape rather than it being the main event.'</p><p>To add interest to his <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/tablescaping">tablescape</a>, Bullard is couching these vibrant details in a more neutral background. 'This year, I am planning on a black and white themed table, using the <a href="https://www.addisonross.com/collections/chinoiserie-collection?srsltid=AfmBOopEl20GBgZqLUkAV7PkHDTLMTguK3MvIIH5dco5p0zLXt9AhNc1" target="_blank">Addison Ross chinoiserie</a> collection of placemats, coasters, and salt and pepper grinders (added for the height and beauty they give to the table as well as their use),' he explains. 'This classic colorway and romantic historical reference with the design makes for a dramatic statement,  especially when mixed with the red-themed florals, many candles at different heights (with the rest of the lighting in the room dimmed to its lowest levels).'</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="202ed88f-d14e-499f-9ac1-4a607a1e6190">            <a href="https://usa.addisonross.com/collections/black-chinoiserie/products/black-chinoiserie-placemats-set-of-4-limited-edition" data-model-name="Black Chinoiserie Placemats" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fNkohJK9U2FZgEKDRLmMdd.jpg" alt="Black Chinoiserie Placemats"><span class='featured__label hero__label'>Elevated</span></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Black Chinoiserie Placemats</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>Infuse your tablescape with history and style with these gorgeous black and white chinoiserie placemats.

                                <p>The Kardashian clan's homes provide ample interior design inspo – with each member distinctly approaching their home's stylings (and enlisting the best of the best to help them do so).</p><p>However, our latest fixation is Kourtney Kardashian's screening room, which we caught a glimpse of over on Martyn Lawrence Bullard's Instagram page. The space grey room has a monochromatic feel, though it's delightfully disrupted thanks to a striking, sky-inspired art piece.</p><p>'Clad in grey suede with the biggest, deepest, sexiest U-shaped sofa, a fabulous built-in bar, and an amazing Doug Aitken art piece, the room exudes modern glamour and true Kourtney style,' Bullard states in the caption. Needless to say, the space is giving us some insight into how to <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/advice/decorating-with-grey" target="_blank">decorate with gray</a> (and around gray) – a color that is anything but out of style. </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CrMUQSTPYTg/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>According to experts, adding pops of color is one of the most surefire ways to make a gray room more visually engaging.</p><p>'Gray pairs beautifully with almost any accent color, so don’t hesitate to incorporate vibrant accessories,' says designer <a href="https://ninashomedesign.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Nina Lichtenstein</a>. 'Consider adding yellow or teal cushions, cobalt blue planters, or even terracotta pottery to infuse warmth into your gray space. For a nature-inspired feel, throw in some greenery. Planters filled with vibrant flowers or leafy plants will create a lush, organic counterbalance to the gray.'</p><p>She continues, 'Introduce patterns through outdoor rugs, pillows, or cushions to break up the solid gray tones. Stripes, geometric designs, or floral motifs in contrasting colors like white, navy, or mustard can provide a striking contrast that adds energy to the space while still maintaining an elegant look.'</p><p>In addition to introducing a statement piece like Kardashian's artwork, implementing texture is a fantastic way to ensure that a gray space remains visually appealing.</p><p>'Add dimension to your gray palette by incorporating a variety of textures,' Lichtenstein suggests. 'A concrete patio table paired with soft, plush gray cushions introduces a tactile contrast.

                                <p>There are some patterns you want to see on your table daily, and some are reserved for special occasions. Chinoiserie works for both. The whimsical pattern is a European take on Asian art and design, which first became popular in the latter half of the 18th century. It often features stylized flowers, birds, and butterflies, arranged in alluring patterns. Martyn Lawrence Bullard swears by the look.</p><p>Bullard is best known for his work as an interior designer to the stars, with projects in the homes of Kylie, Jenner, Cher, RuPaul, and Ellen Pompeo. <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/chinoiserie-trend">Chinoiserie</a> features in many of his designs as wallpaper and textiles. Now, <a href="https://usa.addisonross.com/collections/black-chinoiserie" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Addison Ross</a> has translated the timeless pattern into tableware, trays, and frames inspired by Bullard's knowledge of its history. It's a limited-edition collection with a black background, white flowers, and trees on lacquered pieces.</p><p>According to the designer, it's one of the best patterns for <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/tablescaping">tablescaping</a>. Bullard tells <em>Homes & Gardens</em> exclusively: 'Black chinoiserie embodies a perfect marriage of contemporary flair and timeless elegance. The use of black as a base color creates a bold canvas that enhances the vibrancy of the chinoiserie motifs, making them pop in any setting. This striking contrast captures attention, yet the enduring beauty of the design ensures it won't feel dated.'</p><p>Further, the look will be stylish no matter the year; it goes beyond <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/interior-design-trends">interior design trends</a>. Bullard states: 'The Chinoiserie style brings a sense of cultural richness and artistry that transcends fleeting trends. It is a testament to craftsmanship, making it not just a design choice but a statement piece that will remain relevant for generations.' It's completely timeless. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="51eec3db-4f23-4a1f-970f-57658470649b">            <a href="https://usa.addisonross.com/collections/black-chinoiserie/products/black-chinoiserie-placemats-set-of-4-limited-edition" data-model-name="Black Chinoiserie Placemats" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fNkohJK9U2FZgEKDRLmMdd.jpg" alt="Black Chinoiserie Placemats"><span class='featured__label hero__label'>Elevated</span></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Black Chinoiserie Placemats</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>Infuse your tablescape with history and style with these gorgeous black and white chinoiserie placemats</p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="634456e6-854c-4f69-92a7-bad77a346a8e">            <a href="https://usa.addisonross.com/collections/black-chinoiserie/products/black-chinoiserie-salt-or-pepper-mill-limited-edition" data-model-name="Black Chinoiserie Salt & Pepper Mills" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/VoaXq479nMgaCXf8Jcut2f.jpg" alt="Black Chinoiserie Salt & Pepper Mills"><span class='featured__label hero__label'>Daily Use</span></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Black Chinoiserie Salt & Pepper Mills</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>Grind your pepper in style with these Martyn Bullard-approved mills</p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="df4dfa17-a75a-43a7-a1c2-e89670d41b52">            <a href="https://usa.addisonross.com/collections/black-chinoiserie/products/black-chinoiserie-coasters-set-of-4-limited-edition" data-model-name="Black Chinoiserie Coasters" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/imae2n8e8yqpSUyemQEYRh.jpg" alt="Black Chinoiserie Coasters"><span class='featured__label hero__label'>Interesting</span></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Black Chinoiserie Coasters</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>These chic lacquered coasters look good in any setting</p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div><p>To bring the timeless style into your own <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/dining-table-decor-ideas">dining table decor</a>, the black chinoiserie collection at Addison Ross is a great place to start.

Embracing black chinoiserie in your home is an investment in both style and heritage, ensuring your space feels fresh yet deeply connected to the past.' Whether it's <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/christmas-table-ideas-205605" target="_blank">Christmas table decor</a> or year-round design, black chinoiserie can be a great addition to the home.</p><p>To style the tableware in your own home, we recommend pairing it with modern plates and glassware to bring out the timelessness of the design. Dishware with intresting shapes, or bright colors can help interrupt the traditionalism of the design can add visual interest and warmth. A white tablecloth will help the black of the placemats and coasters pop.</p><p>No matter the style of your home, there's room for chinoiserie in it.</p>

                            <article>
                                <p>When picturing a breakfast room, images of bright, airy corners, where every effort is made to accentuate sunlight, will likely come to mind. Think sheer curtains, pendant lights, and, of course, a soft, neutral paint to set the base for accents and accessories. I, too, had this vision for a breakfast room until I saw Tommy Hilfiger's former Connecticut estate, and it rewrote my conventions for the better. </p><p>The English manor-style estate, created by celebrity-favored designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, dates back to 1932, and a host of period details serve as a constant reminder of its history. Many of the rooms exhibit wood-paneled walls, floors, high ceilings, preserved moldings, and decorative wainscoting that pay homage to its heritage. Its natural coloring also fills the room with a dark, sophisticated ambiance, and things are no different in the breakfast room.</p><p>My job involves looking at different celebrity twists on breakfast rooms (or <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/breakfast-nook-ideas">breakfast nooks</a>, in some cases), most of which follow the same design formula to which I first referred. However, Hilfiger, with the help of Bullard, has done things dramatically differently. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:80.00%;"><img id="mAJcX9ZQJY595xngpJTaLA" name="TH Connecticut Breakfast Room" alt="TH Connecticut Breakfast Room" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/mAJcX9ZQJY595xngpJTaLA.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="1600" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Martyn Lawrence Bullard  )</span></figcaption></figure><p>While it has to be said that the architectural design features of Hilfiger's home lend themselves to the darker color palette (especially the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/panelling-ideas-for-walls-196991">wooden wall paneling</a> and flooring), the rich, cocooning elements of the space made me rethink a breakfast room's potential. </p><p>Darker palettes work beautifully in rooms that are designed for entertainment, especially <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/dining-room-ideas-224005">dining rooms</a> that (I think) should be filled with an array of candles when the sun goes down. So why should the breakfast room be any different? While it's inevitably a place to enjoy sunlight, it's still somewhere that can double as a mini dining room for nights when you may want a more intimate dinner party. The darker hues make it instantly warmer and cozier and will consequently serve as the perfect place to dine long into the PM. In my small London apartment, recreating the aesthetic isn't simple. However, I'm told that there are ways to replicate the ambiance without covering my walls entirely – something to consider if you're also tempted by the look.</p><p>'Wall paneling is a classic design detail, truly a low-lift but high-impact update that can bring dimension and texture to any space. However, it isn’t limited only to wood that covers an entire wall; you can also add a beadboard or wainscoting paneling for a timeless historical design touch,' comments Simon Ribchester, the head of design at <a href="https://www.beamsrenovation.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Beams</a>.</p><p>Another thing that strikes me about Hilfiger's breakfast room is the use of patterned textures, which bring an unexpected interruption to the traditional space. From the blue and white gingham chair coverings to the ornate red rug, Bullard has paired two eclectic-style patterns that still feel curated despite being so different. The flower-filled China vase is a subtle reminder that the space is a breakfast room because, of course, no coffee spot is complete without fresh flowers to accompany the first sip of the day.

                                <p>Texture adds essential visual interest and depth to any interior design scheme and a carefully chosen rug is one of the most stylish ways to incorporate texture into your home. Whether it's neutral, colorful, shaggy, jute, or tufted, rugs bring a sense of completion and coziness to every space.</p><p>Naturally then, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, celebrity interior designer responsible for the homes of Cher, Ellen Pompeo, Kylie Jenner, and RuPaul Charles, swears by the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/flooring-ideas">flooring idea</a>. Bullard tells <em>Homes & Gardens</em> exclusively: 'A rug brings personality to any space, making it feel complete. Rugs are so integral to all the spaces I help to design and why I was so excited to partner with <a href="https://ruggable.co.uk/collections/martyn-lawrence-bullard-rugs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ruggable</a> on my collection. A well-chosen rug can completely transform a neutral space, turning it from plain to polished in an instant.'</p><p>As evidenced by his bold designs Bullard believes a rug should be striking rather than simply <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/texture-in-interior-design">using texture</a> that fades into the background. 'The right rug adds texture, color, and pattern, anchoring a room and creating a sense of warmth and style,' he states. 'By layering in a rug with intricate details or a rich palette, you can effortlessly elevate your home, introducing a touch of luxury and sophistication that invites comfort and creativity,' continues Bullard.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:80.00%;"><img id="pouszGDfsJj63GqxPFhYod" name="1 (8)" alt="martyn lawrence bullard with his ruggable collab" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/pouszGDfsJj63GqxPFhYod.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="1600" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Ruggable)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Nothing embodies these principles better than Bullard's latest Rug collection with Ruggable.

                                <p>Few homes possess the grandeur of Cher's Moorish Malibu estate, curated by Martyn Lawrence Bullard to fit a unique design ethos. 'When you have somebody who is so free with their design intentions, you can create amazing fantasies. In the current reiteration of her home, she said: ''I'm a Buddhist behaving badly.'' When these people give you that kind of description, you can get very inspirational,' Bullard reveals in an exclusive interview with <em>H&G</em>. So where does a Buddhist behaving badly sleep? In a Moroccan-inspired bedroom where a statement bedhead takes center stage. </p><p>Bold <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/headboard-ideas">headboards</a> are synonymous with design-led hotels and the most maximalist of homes – but when paired with neutrals (as in Cher's case), they can translate to every style of home. We can't all have a mansion on the scale of her abode, but we can still draw inspiration from her sleep space, starting with her attention-demanding headboard. </p><p>In her <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/bedrooms/neutral-bedroom-ideas">neutral bedroom</a> (seen in the third photo of the carousel below), Cher introduced an intricate, silver-hued headboard above her cream bed. The ornate nature of the piece makes a statement against the off-white colored walls but doesn't overpower the space <strong>–</strong> and it's a decorating technique that's just as replicable on a smaller scale. </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CivA0o5JdEp/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>'Adding an opulent headboard can instantly elevate the bedroom into a beautifully styled space,' comments Georgia Metcalfe, the creative director and founder at <a href="https://www.frenchbedroom.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">French Bedroom</a>. </p><p>'Choose one upholstered in tactile fabrics such as velvet to add a more luxurious look and feel. While the beauty of a curvier-shaped headboard will create further interest in the space, I also say the bigger the headboard, the better, for that real wow factor.'</p><p>Headboards are no new phenomenon, having famously adorned the walls of the most prestigious residences for centuries. However, as Metcalfe explains, 2024 is the year we are particularly seeing a headboard resurgence <strong>– </strong>starting with a patterned piece like the one in Cher's <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/bedroom-ideas-223507">bedroom</a>. </p><p>'Patterned headboards will take center stage in bedrooms as a striking focal point to style around,' she explains. 'To incorporate in your own room, consider working against a neutral color palette to let the pattern speak for itself. For a more eclectic approach, take the pattern and run with it! Mirror the headboard through similarly styled rugs, bedspreads, and cushions.'</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="YjG7xHTzhSAR4kYCy7Q3yJ" name="" alt="Bedroom with textured, cream painted walls, headboard with natural, black and cream woven design, white bed linen with orange cushion and patterned throw, black and wood bedside table, low hanging pendant light with cream fabric shade." src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/YjG7xHTzhSAR4kYCy7Q3yJ.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p>With approval from design and sleep experts alike, this Cher-inspired piece has the ability to elevate even the most minimalist of bedrooms.

                                <p>As one of the most famous drag queens in the world, RuPaul is well-acquainted with the world of glamour. The <em>RuPaul&apos;s Drag Race</em> host is known for flaunting fabulous hair, makeup, and outfits on the reality competition show, but, as we discovered when he posted photos of his Martyn Lawrence Bullard-designed home last year, his sense of style transfers over to interior decor.</p><p>The Queen of Drag recently uploaded a video to his Instagram page, poking fun at the Quiet Luxury trend by sashaying through his opulent home entryway, with a grand staircase, pink walls, and, most notably, exquisite marble floors.</p><p><a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/decorating-with-marble">Decorating with marble</a> is a powerful way to make a statement in our home, from kitchen islands to living room coffee tables. Utilizing it for flooring is yet another way to implement this timeless trend, albeit in a bolder way. It makes the perfect first impression, which is what we&apos;d expect from RuPaul&apos;s space, after all. </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C46uKftP07X/" target="_blank">A post shared by RuPaul (@rupaulofficial)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>&apos;The natural allure of marble lies in its exquisite veining and unique patterns, which lend a touch of opulence to any space,&apos; says interior designer Miriam Prada. &apos;Moreover, its cool, smooth surface provides respite from warmer temperatures, making it a practical choice in climates both temperate and tropical.&apos;</p><p>&apos;Whether adorning the floors of grand palaces or modern penthouses, its aesthetic appeal transcends trends and fads, ensuring its perennial relevance.&apos;</p><p><br></p><p>Due to its appearance (and particularly if using a white variation), marble requires considerable upkeep; though it&apos;s highly manageable.</p><p>&apos;Caring for marble floors requires a delicate touch,&apos; Prada says. &apos;Regular cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner and soft mop helps preserve its luster without causing damage. Additionally, sealing the surface periodically helps protect against stains and moisture ingress, prolonging its lifespan.&apos;</p><p>For those looking to add even more texture to a marbled floor, Prada recommends trying out tried and true rugs for visual interest.</p><p>&apos;When it comes to rugs atop marble floors, the possibilities are as diverse as they are stylish,&apos; she says. &apos;<a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/decorating-with-neutrals">Decorating with neutral</a> tones such as beige or cream harmonizes beautifully with the natural hues of marble, creating a sense of cohesion and serenity. Alternatively, bold patterns or vibrant colors can inject personality and visual interest into the space, juxtaposing against the understated elegance of the marble.&apos;</p><p><br></p><h2 id="shop-the-marble-edit">Shop the marble edit</h2><p>Marble has a natural place in the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/entryway-ideas">entryway</a>, where making an impactful first impression counts.

                                <p>Vintage furniture enthusiasts are likely no strangers to Dorothy Draper&apos;s unmistakable anti-minimalist aesthetic – often rooted in large prints and vibrant colors that tap into the &apos;Hollywood Regency&apos; style. </p><p>This look may be synonymous with the late 30s and 40s (the time when Dorothy Draper established herself as a celebrity designer in her own right), but it&apos;s timeless enough to impress long into the twenty-first century – starting with RuPaul&apos;s living room.</p><p>&apos;RuPaul&apos;s living room is an ode to the great Lady Decorators of the 1930s and 40s, particularly Dorothy Draper, whose high glam style translated so well into this dramatic space,&apos; comments designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Martyn, the designer responsible for RuPaul&apos;s Beverly Hills mansion, curated an <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/art-deco-decor">Art Deco</a> haven that pays homage to history but inspires in the contemporary day. </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Csl8i2FJtIz/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Martyn added 18-foot metal arched windows to design a Dorothy Draper-inspired space with &apos;full drama and an explosion of natural light.&apos; He dressed the windows in his <a href="https://www.theshadestore.com/collections/designer-fabric-collections/martyn-lawrence-bullard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tangier weave</a>, designed for The Shade Store, and constructed the fireplace using plaster-dipped rope swags to decorate the built-in mirror panel.</p><p>&apos;The chinoiserie style emerald lacquer cabinets hold a collection of orange ware porcelain and are balanced by the Elsie De Wolfe slipper chairs covered in a Tony Duquette malachite fabric,&apos; Martyn explains.</p><p>&apos;My own <a href="https://uk.therugcompany.com/4590-stevie-mac.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Stevie Mac</a> rug designed for The Rug Company covers the floor, and a pair of Amethyst stone pedestals hold vintage brass and Murano glass lamps from the 1950s. High glamour design for a high glamour (and very fun) client.&apos;</p><p>In Dorothy Draper-inspired style, Martyn has incorporated large geometric prints (in the form of the rug) and pockets of color via the turquoise, emerald, and purple furnishings. Despite its anti-minimalist aesthetic, however, Martyn has used a white base that grounds the entire <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/living-room-ideas-222997">living room</a> and acts as a neutral base that allows the colorful pieces to make an unrivaled statement. </p><p>This white canvas reminds us that it&apos;s surprisingly simple to follow RuPaul and tap into the Hollywood Regency look (even if it is on a small scale). The secret, North Carolina-based designer Jayson Parker explains, is having a timeless white base that allows our prints and colors to take center stage. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="GbCXmEB2EVF4bjk4FQ97bV" name="Art-deco-living-room-with-art.jpg" alt="Art Deco living room decor" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/GbCXmEB2EVF4bjk4FQ97bV.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p>&apos;White is an incredibly versatile color that will never go out of style and provides the most versatile palette.

It wants to have crisp, clear lines, comfort, and creative inspiration by way of artwork or patterned wallpaper,&apos; Martin says. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="4y4aoywKkSE3H6m4kn7U9T" name="white home office.jpg" alt="Warm white home office with large window" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4y4aoywKkSE3H6m4kn7U9T.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Farrow & Ball)</span></figcaption></figure><p>&apos;A chair has to be comfortable, but it is important to get the level of comfort right.

                                <p>Ripe for entertaining and full of delicious talking points, when Martyn Lawrence Bullard posted his latest <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/kitchen-ideas">kitchen</a> upgrade on Instagram, designers had much to say on the space.</p><p>Modern to the nines, with accent chrome everything, hidden art, and more in the way of intriguing kitchen design, this key room in <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/celebrity-style/martyn-lawrence-bullard-weekend-pad">Martyn&apos;s weekend pad,</a> is all about the bold decisions. But will this uber-modern, uber-sleek, look be big in <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/kitchen-trends-202526">kitchen trends</a> for 2024? We certainly think so, and both designers and celebrities are in a agreement. </p><h2 id="high-style-design-lessons-from-martyn-apos-s-chrome-kitchen">High-style design lessons from Martyn&apos;s chrome kitchen</h2><p>Martyn himself admits that this space is not used so much for cooking, but that is not to say that it will not be kept busy with guests, who are certain to be fans of Martyn&apos;s hosting, not to mention admirers of his unique and contagious interior design style.</p><p>&apos;So chic.&apos; commented Ben Soleimani amongst others, including Guns N&apos; Roses&apos; Matt Sorum. In truth, even we thought we had our kitchen <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/interior-design-trends">interior design trends</a> completely forecasted, but Martyn&apos;s super modern chrome setup has stopped us in our tracks and might even be initiating a modern design wave that we were not expecting.</p><p>Here is why you might want to let his kitchen design choices shape <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/how-to-discover-your-interior-design-style">your interior design style</a> too:</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0aKJUgPjd5/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-1-a-mirrored-ceiling-will-impress-guests"><span>1. A mirrored ceiling will impress guests</span></h3><p>The star of Martyn&apos;s kitchen show has to be the mirrored ceiling. Many praised it in comments on his post, and though it&apos;s a bold look for such a practical space, there is no denying that it is designed to impress.</p><p>Typically, it might be a more <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/kitchens/colorful-kitchen-ideas">colorful kitchen</a> that would grasp our attention, but this is not quite the case here. &apos;Martyn is so talented at creating these visually very stimulating environments where either he uses color so skillfully, as a visual vector, or he creates this very interesting graphic sensibility where you&apos;re able to look at volumes through color blocking,&apos; says Cliff Fong, a New York-based interior designer, founder of <a href="https://www.mattblackeinc.com/about" target="_blank">Matt Blacke Inc</a>, and a close friend of Martyn&apos;s. &apos;I like color but I don&apos;t use it in the same way Martyn does,&apos; continues Cliff. &apos;I think this is really interesting because it&apos;s almost devoid of color but, you have this incredibly interesting graphic sensibility and I love the reflective ceiling, I think that&apos;s amazing.&apos;</p><p>Cliff is not the only one taken aback: &apos;The ceiling is what caught my eye the most,&apos; says <a href="https://www.mikelwelch.com/about" target="_blank">Mikel Welch</a>, Interior designer and the founder of Mikel Welch Designs who notes how such a reflective 5th wall will do wonders to bounce light around the space, and off the pendants above the countertops in particular – especially come the evening time. &apos;I think it&apos;s a really smart idea,&apos; continues Mikel. &apos;I&apos;m sure it&apos;s going to be super reflective and generate a lot of light.&apos; </p><p>We couldn&apos;t really agree more. Although not a typical <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/kitchens/how-to-make-a-kitchen-look-more-luxurious">way to make a kitchen look more luxurious</a>, we don&apos;t see why a mirrored ceiling wouldn&apos;t make a playful addition.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-2-seamless-cabinetry-and-invisible-storage-is-the-one"><span>2. Seamless cabinetry (and invisible storage) is the one</span></h3><p>Next, with such a clean-cut and modern-looking kitchen space, it is impossible to ignore that nothing, appliance-wise, is on show. You could almost call it an <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/kitchens/invisible-kitchen-ideas">invisible kitchen</a>.... &apos;I can see that everything is hidden in the space,&apos; says Mikel, &apos;I can&apos;t, obviously, attest to what he&apos;s hidden, but knowing Martyn, he&apos;s done a really great job of hiding everything from the dishwasher to any type of storage compartment.&apos;</p><p>There is no doubt about it, the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/kitchen-cabinet-ideas">kitchen cabinets</a> are barely there in themselves, and they are successfully keeping everything a kitchen needs to function – including <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/kitchen-storage-ideas-202568">kitchen storage</a> – beautifully under wraps. &apos;I love how he used the cabinetry to conceal things. I think that was a really smart design.&apos; Move along open <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/kitchen-shelving-ideas">kitchen shelving</a>, we no longer require your services.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-3-terrazzo-tiled-floors-are-having-a-revival"><span>3. Terrazzo tiled floors are having a revival</span></h3><p>Yes, Terrazzo is still considered a fairly contemporary <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/kitchen-flooring-ideas-208187">kitchen floor</a> covering. However, avid tile trend followers will know that Terrazzo peaked somewhere in 2020. Thanks to Martyn, however, could it be that Terrazzo is going through a renaissance period? </p><p>&apos;I never knew I would be a fan of Terrazzo,&apos; continues Mikel who admits to appreciating Martyn&apos;s take on the tile in the space: &apos;Just to lighten things up a little bit,&apos; he says. </p><p>It appears that Martyn might have used Terrazzo for balance and for added intrigue in an unprecedented way. &apos;Because he did choose a very monochromatic, clean palette. So, I think when we talk about texture and tone and color, that is probably the one area where I&apos;m going to be a fan of Terrazzo.&apos; </p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-4-retro-can-be-clean-cut"><span>4. Retro can be clean-cut</span></h3><p>Though not typically &apos;retro&apos; (the definition of which has changed over the years), we can still see the 60&apos;s influence in the pendant lighting Martyn has included in his kitchen. </p><p>&apos;The lighting, I think, are statement pieces,&apos; says Mikel who notes the &apos;cool design.&apos; <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/kitchen-lighting-ideas-203134">Kitchen lighting </a>has come far in recent times, but we love this return to the noughties. &apos;It really looks like he just went as clean and simple as he could. And he let certain key elements be the star of the show, like the light fixtures.&apos;</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-5-finer-details-should-leave-room-for-imagination"><span>5. Finer details should leave room for imagination </span></h3><p>As well as the all-chrome finish, it really is the finer details that make Martyn&apos;s kitchen niche and unique. From the mirrored <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/kitchen-backsplash-ideas">kitchen backsplash</a> to the light brushes of sage green, which we swear we can see in the corner... &apos;I love how the range buttons just kind of like go away. You can see them politely placed on the front of the cabinetry.&apos; This thoughtful design gives the space an enviably polished finish. </p><p>&apos;It&apos;s a thumbs up from me,&apos; says Mikel. &apos;I&apos;m loving the oven off to the side. It looks just like a fun retro kitchen and honestly, I&apos;m seeing (maybe it&apos;s a reflection) but I&apos;m getting a hint of, I can&apos;t even call it sage green...&apos; We also can&apos;t ignore the stunning chrome eggs and colorful print – they bring artistic and architectural detail.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-6-the-best-interior-design-style-is-one-that-is-truly-personal"><span>6.

Plus, though hard to tell, since Martyn has conducted such wizardry, we suspect that this is actually not the biggest kitchen space.

                                <p>Every year color experts, interior designers and the interior press industry eagerly anticipate the release of a hue that will no doubt dominate color schemes in every creative field for the forthcoming twelve months, according to Pantone. </p><p>Pantone is the creator of the revolutionary color tool that allows creatives to accurately match shades to exact spectrums via a specific number system anywhere in the world. So, believe us when we say these guys are the color therapy trendsetters to know about.</p><p>However, somehow a certain American television personality beat the color champions at their own game, by showcasing the anticipated colorway in their own extravagant hallway before the paintbrushes at Pantone were even dipped. </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0o4z12LBWE/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>RuPaul Andre Charles&apos; &apos;Tutti-frutti&apos; and fun <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/hallway-ideas">hallway idea</a> has caught our attention.</p><p>From his many TV appearances, it&apos;s quite clear the Californian-born celebrity does not shy away from bright colors. </p><p>So, is it any wonder the A-lister teamed up with another colorful personality and Interior designer, Martyn Lawerence Bullard, to decorate his epic home in Los Angeles?</p><p>Martyn Bullard, picked up the entryway&apos;s tonal resemblance to the &apos;<a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/pantones-color-of-the-year-2024">Pantone Color of the Year 2024</a>, &apos;Peach Fuzz 13-1023&apos; on his social media feed, and we agree with the resounding match. </p><p>&apos;Now, I&apos;m not saying that Pantone was influenced by my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rupaulofficial/">@rupaulofficial</a> entry hall color choice...but...it does look mighty like their newly announced color [of] the year &apos;Peach Fuzz&apos;...just saying!

                                <p>Martyn Lawrence Bullard&apos;s designs epitomize California style, so it makes sense that the designer&apos;s home would also embody this look. </p><p>Recently, the celebrity decorator, who has worked on the Hollywood homes of the likes of Kylie Jenner and Cher, took to Instagram to give fans a glimpse inside his &apos;weekend pad&apos; in Palm Springs. Martyn took us through each room in the home, pointing out the notable features of each. Overarchingly, the theme of the home celebrates the &apos;dramatic&apos; style of Palm Springs.</p><p>Martyn Lawrence Bullard starts the video outside his brilliantly <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/home-decor-ideas">decorated home</a>, the &apos;Villa Grigio.&apos; Martyn states: &apos;This is my special weekend pad. Designed in 1962 by James McNaughton and [one-time] home to Roger Moore, the famous amazing actor who played James Bond, and also in the 1970s to Hugh Hefner. God only knows what went on in this <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/pool-ideas">pool</a>,&apos; he jokes.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C07qJPpPmzp/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Martyn continues motioning to the white arches of his <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/advice/how-to-design-a-pool-area">pool area design</a>: &apos;As you can see, the architecture here is wonderfully theatrical. McNaughton was known for creating these really wild, very theatrical, very grand, very movie-set-like homes. And why? Because he was once a Hollywood movie set designer and producer. He created these Hollywood movie sets with the stars of the day to star upon, and that is exactly what he&apos;s done here with this incredible house.&apos;</p><p>Entering the home, Martyn first goes over his dining room and living room area, which includes black and white zebra rugs and hot pink velvet sofas. He states on the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/dining-room-ideas-224005">dining room decor</a>, &apos;It&apos;s sunken with these dramatic steps and these beautiful terrazzo floors, but I really love it because I get to display my photography and art collection.&apos; </p><p>He details how he wanted to <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/how-to-choose-art-for-your-home-220802">choose art</a> that felt like the perfect fit for this home. He continues, &apos;Imagery from the 60s and 70s mixed with a little bit of pop art. A little Keith Haring, there&apos;s a little bit of Andy Warhol, and then there are some fantastic moments just to add a little bit of a bang like this great Damien Hirst pill piece,&apos; he says, referencing a bright pink photograph with a pill printed on it. &apos;A little bit of pink matching with the pink sofas tying it all in.&apos;</p><p>Of the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/living-room-ideas-222997">living room decor</a> Martyn says: &apos;One of the things that is so amazing about my living room is this, the amazing sunken conversation pit. This is really a signature of 1960s living, and it&apos;s so Palm Springs-centric. You can just imagine the Rat Pack sitting in here around what is a firepit in the middle.&apos; He continues, &apos;I love it; it&apos;s really given character to this house and makes it feel so special and so dramatic.&apos;</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0fXNoVvS_d/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Moving on to the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/black-and-white-kitchen-ideas">black and white kitchen</a> Martyn tells the audience: &apos;I love this space, even though anyone who watches me will know, I don&apos;t cook.&apos; He says, &apos;I put in this amazing white kitchen which allows for a modernity to the space that feels really fresh but really honors the mid-century quality to the house,&apos; he states opening up the sliding cabinets. &apos;It&apos;s very Palm Springs,&apos; he adds.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0aKJUgPjd5/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Martyn&apos;s favorite spot in the house is his media room, which features emerald green walls and a sculptural gray sofa with a black and white geometric wallpapered ceiling. It includes art and photographs that are a tribute to Hollywood.</p><p>In the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/main-bedroom-ideas">main bedroom</a>, Martyn states: &apos;My bedroom continues the signatures of Macnaughton&apos;s style with the colonnade that wraps through the outside to the inside into the primary suite, &apos; he says, referencing the white arches that run through the bedroom. &apos;I like to decorate a bedroom with books. I think books are so calming to be surrounded by, and somehow they kind of make me relax just looking at them.&apos;</p><p>The <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/guest-bedroom-ideas-207117">guest bedroom</a> is another stunning feature of the home. One which Bullard refers to as &apos;the palm room&apos; has a fabulous white and green Schumacher palm wallpaper. &apos;I love to put books or little fun accessories, little smacks, little bathroom things, so they feel like they&apos;re spending the weekend in a hotel.&apos;</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CqyoaiSvz7t/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>We can experiment with Palm Springs&apos; unmistakable style with these hand-picked buys below.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="3ce44644-db79-4bb8-b4fa-79ae99dfc093">            <a href="https://www.decoratorsbest.com/products/schumacher-zebra-palm-jungle-wallpaper" data-model-name="Schumacher Palm Wallpaper" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MouqTXBHzV2ptbpjPxHePS.jpg" alt="green zebra palm wallpaper"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Schumacher Palm Wallpaper</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="03c082e9-dde5-4693-8cef-092b2a7a3910">            <a href="https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/willa-arlo-interiors-doyon-9055-velvet-tuxedo-arm-sofa-w001667231.html?piid=381660304" data-model-name="Pink Velvet Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4kRGWpU8esCLSU8pQh9mAJ.jpg" alt="hot pink sofa"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Pink Velvet Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="c4e31ec0-07bf-4000-b5ce-341cb27b81cd">            <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1246173566/damien-hirst-the-cure-carnation-pink-hot?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_c-art_and_collectibles-prints-giclee&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAiAvoqsBhB9EiwA9XTWGeR4Ws955j88NTD17dl36KdvsdW2qwtw15Nvkt27_qvtI38LkJNq4hoCr0oQAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_12569400211_125253308611_507342957990_pla-354814757658_c__1246173566_12768591&utm_custom2=12569400211&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAvoqsBhB9EiwA9XTWGeR4Ws955j88NTD17dl36KdvsdW2qwtw15Nvkt27_qvtI38LkJNq4hoCr0oQAvD_BwE" data-model-name="Pink Damien Hirst Print" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/92eqQPBpvLijXbEK6ZpNXB.jpg" alt="damien hirst pink pill print"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Pink Damien Hirst Print</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div><p>No matter your place of residence, a home that celebrates the signature style of the place where you live is a great way to create a timeless home.</p>

                                <p>This year, Christmas trees are getting a makeover. Over the past few years, the popularity of non-traditional trees has risen dramatically. Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the celebrity interior designer responsible for the decor in the homes of icons including Kylie Jenner, Winnie Harlow, and Cher, is ringing in the next trend in original holiday decor with his chrome tinsel <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/christmas-tree-ideas">Christmas tree</a>. The silvery wonder is gorgeous, cloaked in silver and black ornaments for a stylish, minimal look.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0fXNoVvS_d/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>In our discussion of <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/christmas-decorating-ideas">Christmas decor ideas</a>, experts loved the look of a chrome tinsel Christmas tree. &apos;I find their modern and sleek appearance quite appealing,&apos; said Bree Steele, interior designer at RJ Living. She continued, &apos;They bring a unique twist to <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/traditional-christmas-decor-ideas">traditional Christmas decor</a>, blending well with contemporary or minimalist themes where traditional green trees might feel out of place.&apos;</p><p>&apos;I love the unique sparkle of a tinsel tree,&apos; says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor at <em>Homes & Gardens. &apos;</em>It looks so bold and instantly festive. To me, this kind of tree is the perfect blend between traditional and <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/modern-christmas-decor-ideas">modern Christmas decor</a>. It&apos;s the retro look of tinsel combined with a classic Christmas tree.&apos;</p><p>If you have a modern home, interior designers say this type of tree can work better than a traditional Christmas tree. Bree states: &apos;In my view, these trees fit best in modern and urban spaces, particularly where the decor leans towards a more futuristic or avant-garde style. They complement homes with a monochromatic color scheme or where metallic elements are a key part of the design aesthetic.&apos;</p><p>Furthermore, interior designers say that this look is set to be a huge <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/christmas-decor-trends-chosen-by-interior-designers">Christmas decor trend</a> this year. Bree says, &apos;I do see the popularity of silver chrome trees growing. With the current shift towards more unconventional and bold holiday decorations, we&apos;ll likely be seeing more of this style this holiday season. People seem to be embracing new ways to celebrate, and these trees fit right into that narrative.&apos; </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="21e755a8-c9e6-4a22-992e-b8a9e33f1def">            <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wellwood-Silver-Christmas-Assorted-Ornament/dp/B07H7ZGFPH?th=1" data-model-name="6 Foot Silver Tinsel Christmas Tree" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/gheHKvqry5TG6HMnAvzuCY.jpg" alt="silver tinsel christmas tree"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">6 Foot Silver Tinsel Christmas Tree</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><br></p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="88a22fc9-aa79-4b7c-aafb-43247079d562">            <a href="https://www.thewhitecompany.com/us/Ultimate-Mercury-Champagne-Bauble--7-8/p/A06384?swatch=Champagne" data-model-name="Large Round Silver Ornament" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/YxmANnnkB8WKBdW5eASEFS.jpg" alt="silver ornament"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Large Round Silver Ornament</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="05525c32-e12a-4ef6-8e73-e3fccf60bcc3">            <a href="https://www.thewhitecompany.com/us/Smoke-Matte-Bauble--3-1/p/A06078?swatch=Smoke" data-model-name="Smoky Matte Ornament" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/c72Y33E3Q9tZ5LVrbkJMkN.jpg" alt="black ornament from the white company"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Smoky Matte Ornament</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div><p>A silver Christmas tree may sound a tad retro, but rebrand it as &apos;chrome&apos; and decorate it far more tastefully than the examples you may have seen in decades past and it can be a really chic, modern approach to Christmas decor. Take note from Martyn&apos;s tree and just keep it simple with white lights and a monochrome scheme. </p>

                                <p>We&apos;ve yet to see a home that better embodies the spirit of its residents than RuPaul Charles&apos;s Beverly Hills mansion. It makes sense then, that the closet in Ru&apos;s home is absolutely fabulous. One of the most famous drag queens of all time and host of <em>Drag Race</em> in the US and UK, it&apos;s safe to say that RuPaul has a passion for fashion. His closet certainly showcases this aspect of his personality. </p><p>Designed by celebrity interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/dressing-room-ideas-219188">dressing room</a> is inspired by old Hollywood glitz and glamor and seems to act as a museum for Ru&apos;s countless colorful outfits, bags, and shoes. Under the guidance of a less skilled designer, it&apos;s possible that this could look gaudy and messy. However, as usual, Martyn completely pulls it off. The closet is incredibly fun, striking the perfect balance between style and function. There are so many reasons to love the space.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CtjTiyJr8kw/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Interior designers admire Ru&apos;s <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/bedrooms/closet-storage-ideas">closet storage</a>. Interior designer <a href="https://www.charmainewynter.com/" target="_blank">Charmaine Wynter</a> states: &apos;Martin Lawrence Bullard’s exceptional design of RuPaul‘s Closet has redefined the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/walk-in-closet-ideas">walk-in closet</a> concept. Through a remarkable fusion of neutral schematics, contrasting elements, and flawless lighting he has successfully transformed the space into a haven of luxury merging boutique-like zones into the home closet to create a retail-style-design sensibility.&apos;</p><p>The experts are obsessed with how RuPaul&apos;s friend and interior designer <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/celebrity-style/martyn-lawrence-bullard-celebrity-homes">Martyn Lawrence Bullard</a> has juxtaposed minimalist, neutral elements in black and white with the pops of color and pattern in the space. <a href="https://www.arsight.co/about" target="_blank">Artem Kropovinsky</a>, a NYC-based interior designer says, &apos;Thе top еxudеs a minimalist aura, whilе thе bottom rеvеls in maximalist flair. Thе chеvron, with its kalеidoscopic fееl, introducеs a dynamic black and whitе pattеrn on thе floor. This not only injеcts divеrsity into thе spacе but also prеsеrvеs its monochromatic еssеncе, complеmеntеd by thе whitе walls and cabinеts.&apos;</p><p>Charmaine describes the way: &apos;An envelope of white walls serve as a restful canvas allowing for the carefully curated, colorful fashion garments to take center stage&apos; in Rupaul&apos;s <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/dressing-room-ideas-219188">dressing room</a>. She continues, &apos;White glass-top built-in drawer cabinetry further enhances the sense of openness, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance. Freestanding black lacquer furnishings and a daring combination of two distinct black and white patterned flooring selections add drama and visual interest, elevating the overall aesthetic.</p><p>However, interior designers say that Ru&apos;s impressive collection of clothing and his <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/bedrooms/clothes-storage-ideas">clothes storage</a> is the star of this show. Charmaine states: &apos;Every garment, shoe, and accessory is thoughtfully arranged within the closet ensuring that each item is easily visible to enhance user experience and appreciation of the curated collection. The addition of multiple lighting levels and a vanity make-up area adds depth and dimension and multiplies the functionality of the room. The piece de resistance is the raised dais area flanked by a 180° mirror serving as the ultimate stage for fashion enthusiast to admire their ensembles.&apos;</p><p>Artem adds: &apos;What truly sеts this spacе apart is thе way thе main accеnt—thе clothеs—intеrplays with thе monochromе backdrop. Thе usе of opеn shеlving and LED lighting furthеr еnhancеs thе ovеrall dеsign. It&apos;s a stunning mix of stylеs, an еxtravagant approach to intеrior dеsign that marriеs classic cabinеtry with bold tеxturеs on thе floor.&apos;</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="cc055bca-19ca-411d-9000-8a27fe001bc5">            <a href="https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/lighting/chandeliers-pendant-lights/murano-glass-tube-chandelier/id-f_15928602/" data-model-name="Murano Glass Chandelier" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/jJkCvtK4FGk2qQCPkrJsZU.jpg" alt="white murano glass chandelier"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Murano Glass Chandelier</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="7a34c9fb-eaa9-4563-aa91-cd0ff7349c41">            <a href="https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/sofas/french-empire-sofa-bench-settee/id-f_900651/" data-model-name="French Empire Sofa" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/M7ipFcXtJLZSjgHDMR6UsN.jpg" alt="french empire sofa with black and white striped upholstery"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">French Empire Sofa</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="fd49e936-cb5c-4f82-8171-0dd3dbc261f9">            <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1298651508/schumacher-chiang-mai-dragon-ebony?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_uk_en_gb_a-home_and_living-other&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAiApaarBhB7EiwAYiMwqnHf_c7en2PwuMoH_JYN8hTMSMCE1UrbY2pWAvaWiyfRcnUg2kwbpxoCsFYQAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_12581945440_119090483225_507889759354_pla-303628061739_c__1298651508engb_115456386&utm_custom2=12581945440&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiApaarBhB7EiwAYiMwqnHf_c7en2PwuMoH_JYN8hTMSMCE1UrbY2pWAvaWiyfRcnUg2kwbpxoCsFYQAvD_BwE" data-model-name="Schumacher Chiang Mai Dragon Pillow" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Sz5PUQ2he5B6z4RhCGTh5H.jpg" alt="schumacher decorative pillow"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Schumacher Chiang Mai Dragon Pillow</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><br></p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div><p>While Ru&apos;s closet is one of the best we&apos;ve ever seen, there&apos;s no reason you can&apos;t use carefully considered design to turn even a <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/small-walk-in-closet-ideas">small walk-in closet</a> into the perfect museum for your clothes. </p>

                                <p>Move over warm neutrals, there&apos;s a new color trend in town: emerald green. Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the definitive expert on all things bold in design, took to Instagram to share a daring emerald and kelly green bathroom he designed for a Hollywood client and we can&apos;t believe how stunning it looks. </p><p>The Moroccan-inspired <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/bathroom-ideas-224312">bathroom</a> takes influence from the famed Mamounia Hotel in Marrakech. It features traditional tiles imported from Fez and Moorish gold accessories. Experts say that the daring shade will be everywhere in 2024.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz9qldIyHBe/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>First, interior designers say that this bathroom design is an excellent choice because of the effects of green in particular. Meg Lavalette, Manhattan-based interior designer at <a href="https://www.lavainteriors.com/about" target="_blank">LAVA interiors</a> states: &apos;Green will always be a fresh color that means life and vitality. Homeowners are asking for some color back in their world and green is a safe and classic way to bring that vibrant color of nature indoors.&apos;</p><p>On the subject of the bold <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/bathroom-tile-ideas-196958">bathroom tiles</a>, Niko Rasides, Design Director at <a href="https://nicholas-anthony.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Nicholas Anthony</a> adds: &apos;Green is often associated with nature, growth, and tranquillity. In the context of a bathroom, these tiles bring a sense of rejuvenation and serenity, transforming the space into a verdant oasis.&apos;</p><p>He continues, &apos;The color green is also known for its calming effects, making it a particularly suitable choice for a room dedicated to relaxation and self-care. Meanwhile, the glossy finish of the tiles enhances the play of light, creating a luminous and spacious feel in <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/small-bathroom-ideas-208152">small bathrooms</a>.&apos;</p><p>Furthermore, experts say that <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/green-bathroom-ideas">green bathrooms</a> are a budding trend. Meg states: &apos;Gone are the days of everything neutral. We’ve been seeing a moment of everything green in the design world for a couple of years, and it’s here to stay.&apos; Niko echoes her point adding, &apos;The bold choice of color reflects a departure from the neutral palettes that have dominated recent years, signaling a shift towards more daring and personalized interiors. Influenced by a desire for uniqueness and a connection with nature, this trend has gained momentum in both residential and commercial spaces.&apos;</p><p>&apos;Interior design has witnessed a resurgence of bold choices, and among them, the use of emerald green tiles in bathrooms has emerged as a captivating trend that introduces a breath of fresh air into interior spaces. Its effects are both visually striking and emotionally calming, making it a compelling option for those seeking to redefine their bathroom aesthetics,&apos; Niko continues. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="420ee997-f3ed-41b7-baba-6920c7e06d54">            <a href="https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/pigeon-poodle-palm-beach-rectangular-wastebasket?ID=4084829&CategoryID=3865" data-model-name="Emerald Rectangular Wastebasket" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ZZwDBipBhS423U2DuoA8UC.jpg" alt="emerald green wastebasket from poodle and pigeon"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Emerald Rectangular Wastebasket</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>This rectangular wastebasket in a stylish bright green will add a pop of emerald to your bathroom.

The design is so beautiful, inspiring, and easy to recreate.</p><p>Martyn Lawrence Bullard is an acclaimed interior designer who has decorated homes for some of the biggest entertainers of our time including Cher, RuPaul Charles, and three of the Kardashian sisters. The Thanksgiving table setting in his <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/dining-room-ideas-224005">dining room</a> is just as enchanting as the rest of his designs. The stylish pink and green <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/dining-table-decor-ideas">table decor</a> includes silver candlesticks, green placemats, plates, and wine glasses. In the middle of the table, pink, orange, and yellow flowers and fruits form a fresh and lively centerpiece.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz4_Q_wr_Hn/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>&apos;This is such a fun moment and special treat for his guests,&apos; says Nicole Cullum, interior designer and founder of home décor line <a href="https://shopcolorcaravan.com/pages/about-us" target="_blank">Color Caravan</a> about Martyn&apos;s <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/thanksgiving-table-decor-ideas">Thanksgiving table decor</a>.

Emerald is a deep, enchanting green that really comes to life when paired with earthy wood tones, reds, and oranges.&apos;</p><p>Jennifer Ebert, Digital Editor at<em> Homes & Gardens</em> adds, &apos;I love the effect of incorporating lots of greenery and fresh elements, like fruit, into a tablescape.&apos; She continues, &apos;It makes the table feel so alive and helps make it look much more colorful. Plus, it&apos;s super easy to put together on short notice if you have some citrus fruit lying around.&apos;</p><p>For those interested in recreating Martyn&apos;s iconic <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/dining-rooms/thanksgiving-table-setting-ideas">Thanksgiving table setting</a>, Nicole says, &apos;Kick your Thanksgiving table up a notch by incorporating this electric color palette into your centerpiece decor with bright green apples, pomegranates, and oranges tucked amongst fall greenery in a pretty wood tray or butcher block charcuterie board. Match your table settings with lime green linens and place cards for a full, vibrant effect.&apos;</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="1160799c-3e70-4b00-a6bb-db17a907d44e">            <a href="https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/shop/product/fourth-street/lifestyle/candle-holders/set-of" data-model-name="Set of Seven Candlesticks" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/5BfF8sieJnJ6wDDUb79AgB.jpg" alt="silver candlesticks"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Set of Seven Candlesticks</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>These handmade candlesticks were created by skilled artisans in Utter Pradesh, India.

                                <p>Khloe Kardashian may be used to influencing fashion and beauty trends, but a look inside her California bathroom suggests she&apos;s also ahead of the curve in the world of interiors. The media personality&apos;s bathroom, created by London-born designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, taps into two trends that are set to change how we decorate in 2024 – despite being designed years before. </p><p>&apos;I love this bathroom I did for Khloe Kardashian,&apos; Martyn says. &apos;Turkish marble wraps the floor and bathtub, whilst Irish linen diffuses the light at the windows. Wired rock crystal sconces provide the light source, and an eclectic array of corals and sponges I collected for her add interest and an inviting vibe on the deep shelf around the bath.&apos;</p><p>All of these elements could hold a rightful place at the top of <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/tile-trends-205656">tile trends</a>, but it is the large Turkish marble specifically that will influence how we design in the seasons ahead.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CMu3H0ThYvI/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>According to <a href="https://capietra.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ca&apos; Pietra&apos;s</a> 2024 <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/interior-design-trends">design trend</a> report, large &apos;maximarble-effect&apos; tiles, <em>and</em> interiors inspired by faraway shores are expected to influence bathroom design in the near future – and Khloe&apos;s Turkish marble taps into both. But what does each trend involve? </p><p>The experts at Ca&apos; Pietra explain that maximarble pieces are essentially large format marble-style flagstones that are designed to make a statement. Khloe has opted for a timeless black and white colorway, but to bring this look firmly into the new year, we should also look for a vibrant twist on the classic. </p><p>&apos;These <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/tile-ideas">tiles</a> are all about the effect of marble and its majestic coloring,&apos; the team says. Classic Carrara marble tiles are a timeless place to start, but for something more on-trend for 2024, it’s all about those more unusual marbles from deep green Guatemalan-style marble.&apos;</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="TjphTugUrZiAmsGCFhBEaE" name="luxurious marble bathroom.jpg" alt="Dramatically veined marble bathroom" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/TjphTugUrZiAmsGCFhBEaE.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Eric Piasecki)</span></figcaption></figure><p>As mentioned, however, Khloe&apos;s maximarble tiles pay homage to yet another future design quirk: <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/bathroom-ideas-224312">bathrooms</a> inspired by faraway shores.</p><p>&apos;Interiors inspired by faraway shores are a constant feature on ‘the gram,’ but 2024’s traveling trend isn’t specific to a country, which makes it feel much more free-spirited,&apos; the Ca&apos; Pietra team explains.</p><p>&apos;Bathroom walls can absolutely be in on this one, but the focus is <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/bathroom-flooring-ideas">bathroom floors</a>, grounding your space in a sense of elsewhere so you can literally step foot into Andalusia, Cuba, Morocco, or wherever your imagination feels at its happiest.&apos;</p><p>For more inspiration from Martyn Lawrence Bullard-designed homes, we&apos;re picking up a copy of his new book, <em>Star Style</em>, which exhibits his celebrity projects in one space. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_horizontal" data-id="c936ab54-d264-457f-a5b3-0fa8a9af5f65">            <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Star-Style-Interiors-Lawrence-Bullard/dp/0865654158/" data-model-name="Star Style: Interiors of Martyn Lawrence Bullard" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2dU72pWwaLxmpmvgsNpBrX.png" alt="Martyn Lawrence Bullard"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Star Style: Interiors of Martyn Lawrence Bullard</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Star-Style-Interiors-Lawrence-Bullard/dp/0865654158/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong>$67.50 at Amazon</strong></a></p><p>In his third book, Martyn Lawrence Bullard takes you inside celebrity homes in <em>Star Style</em>, a collection of sensational, eclectic interiors.</p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div><p>While renovating a bathroom is no quick task, we expect both these &apos;trends&apos; are more than fleeting (because who doesn&apos;t want to feel like they&apos;re exploring a faraway shore every time they take a bath?). So, while it&apos;s no simple project, we&apos;d say that following Khloe&apos;s lead is worth the investment.</p>

                                <p>The power of good lighting is certainly no secret, but how can we ensure every single room in our home brings out our best selves? It&apos;s not easy, but it is possible, as the Kardashians interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard shares.  </p><p>&apos;When I was designing for the Kardashians, we had to work out ways to incorporate lighting into their home that makes them look amazing when they’re on camera,&apos; he says in an exclusive interview with <em>H&G</em>. </p><p>&apos;We buried special lighting into the plasterwork of the house so that their <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/lighting-ideas">lighting</a> gave them this wonderful, beautiful glow. When the cameras were on, they always looked their best. Remember, they are on camera every day, so their homes almost work as their film sets.&apos;</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="f5UrBFGTx8ivwyccZefd94" name="2.png" alt="Kourtney Kardashian's home" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/f5UrBFGTx8ivwyccZefd94.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Kourtney Kardashian's entryway </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Douglas Friedman)</span></figcaption></figure><p>&apos;Sometimes, it&apos;s not about just interior design. Sometimes, it&apos;s about finding ways that make the client the star on their own set, and in this case, it was their home.&apos;</p><p>As Martyn explains, however, this isn&apos;t our prompt to replaster our rooms to incorporate camera-friendly lighting (unless we want to, of course) – but it is a reminder of light&apos;s power. And this reminder translates to every size and style of home. </p><p>&apos;The most important thing in anybody&apos;s home is lighting. Lighting is everything. Whether you&apos;re in a small apartment or a castle, an over-lit or badly lit room will instantly create the wrong atmosphere,&apos; Martyn says. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="dAQjoXVRo9tKzGA3UJ7nU4" name="3.png" alt="Kourtney Kardashian's home" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/dAQjoXVRo9tKzGA3UJ7nU4.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Kourtney Kardashian's dining room </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Douglas Friedman)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Elevating our home&apos;s atmosphere with lighting can involve investing in a statement <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/living-room-chandelier-ideas">chandelier</a> or small ambient pockets of task lighting. However, one of the most impactful things we can do is invest in a dimmer switch that allows us to lower our lighting levels to match our mood. </p><p>&apos;You can buy a dimmer switch for $20 [such as <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BESTTEN-Universal-Compatible-Incandescent-Decorative/dp/B07S29S7QD/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this one from Amazon</a>], which changes everything. Dim the lights; you light a <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/buying-guides/best-candles">candle</a>, and you create ambiance. You create an immediate atmosphere,&apos; Martyn says.</p><p>&apos;One of the cheapest things to do in your home that will change the vibe is to dim the lights or brighten the lights or whatever it takes to make the space feel good for you.&apos;</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="rJdgtG4fcCTQs6hDBxxop3" name="1.png" alt="Kourtney Kardashian's home" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/rJdgtG4fcCTQs6hDBxxop3.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Kourtney Kardashian's living room </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Douglas Friedman)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Martyn&apos;s interview with <em>H&G</em> also marked the launch date of his new book, <em>Star Style</em>, a collection of all the celebrity homes he has worked on in his career.

The designer sat down to discuss his new book, <em>Star Style</em> (for which Cher wrote the forward), and to mark the publication, he revisited the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/decorating-ideas">decorating</a> process behind her Malibu sanctuary. </p><p>&apos;Her home is an extension of her life on the stage, as it were, so we&apos;ve always designed it with a very theatrical experience. In her first-ever project, she told me she wanted to live like the wife of a Maharaja, so I designed that home to capture that experience.&apos;</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CivA0o5JdEp/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>&apos;I went to India and bought the facade of an Indian palace that was being demolished, took all of the architectural elements back, and built her penthouse out of that,&apos; Martyn says.</p><p>Nestled above the Pacific Ocean, the home is a zen-like coastal abode with a museum quality.

I have to say I&apos;m very, very lucky to experience and be part of that.&apos;</p><p>As mentioned, <em>Star Style</em> pays homage to Cher&apos;s home, but it&apos;s also a celebration of Martyn&apos;s entire project portfolio. &apos;I wanted to give readers an opportunity to see and understand how we got to those interiors – what makes them so individual,&apos; he comments. </p><p>&apos;It allows us to see the essence of each celebrity client within their homes and what makes it theirs.&apos;</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_horizontal" data-id="581fb48d-20c0-409a-92e7-0d2c0d5c62e8">            <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Star-Style-Interiors-Lawrence-Bullard/dp/0865654158/" data-model-name="Star Style: Interiors of Martyn Lawrence Bullard" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2dU72pWwaLxmpmvgsNpBrX.png" alt="Martyn Lawrence Bullard"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Star Style: Interiors of Martyn Lawrence Bullard</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Star-Style-Interiors-Lawrence-Bullard/dp/0865654158/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong>$67.50 at Amazon</strong></a></p><p>In his third book, Martyn Lawrence Bullard takes you inside celebrity homes in <em>Star Style</em>, a collection of sensational, eclectic interiors.</p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div><p>&apos;This is your sign to design with passion and bring out your star style,&apos; Martyn says.

                                <p>It&apos;s hard to find anyone who understands the differences between British and American design more than Martyn Lawrence Bullard. </p><p>The London-born designer has built an enviable clientele list on both sides of the Atlantic (Tommy Hilfiger&apos;s Connecticut mansion and Winnie Harlow&apos;s LA sanctuary are among just some of his US-based projects), and with his international success comes a wealth of knowledge about design differences in each country. </p><p>&apos;When asked about the differences between British and American design specifically, I think of the age-old saying, an Englishman&apos;s home is his castle,&apos; Martyn shared in an exclusive interview with <em>H&G</em>. </p><p>&apos;British people have always loved design. This traditional <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/country-decorating-ideas">country decor</a> has inspired interiors worldwide, and it keeps inspiring – and that’s something wonderful.&apos; </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="Rn936aoVk9WGD4mRrn3oF7" name="1.png" alt="Martyn Lawrence Bullard" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Rn936aoVk9WGD4mRrn3oF7.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Martyn Lawrence Bullard)</span></figcaption></figure><p>&apos;Another interesting thing about British design is its global influences, remnants of the empire. In the UK, you can go into any country house, and you&apos;ll see a table from Morocco, a frame from India, and a chair from Persia. It&apos;s always been an eclectic melting pot of international design.&apos;</p><p>Alternatively, American design is rooted in a more laid-back and accessible approach.</p><p>&apos;In the past, American designers tended to be more relaxed. California style, for instance, is a much more casual, open, and accessible experience that is more laid-back. It&apos;s also influencing how we design worldwide,&apos; he explains. </p><p>However, while the craving for relaxed interiors prevails in the US, the designer explains a new desire for more experimental <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/colour-trends-210270">color trends</a> and even more multifunctional spaces.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="ifFrFo6y4fjqeQtgAEZJw8" name="2.png" alt="Martyn Lawrence Bullard" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ifFrFo6y4fjqeQtgAEZJw8.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Martyn Lawrence Bullard)</span></figcaption></figure><p>&apos;We&apos;re seeing a real passion for joy. Since the pandemic, people want joy in their lives – they want more color and to create spaces that can be used in many different ways.&apos; For example, people now want their <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/dining-room-ideas-224005">dining room</a> to double as an office, a library, or a family game room. </p><p>&apos;This is the biggest evolution in design that&apos;s happening right now, and it’s something we’ve never seen before,&apos; Martyn says. &apos;It’s making design more fun and useable. There is an American-based relaxed flavor that is changing the way people worldwide are designing their houses.&apos;</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="WWCwjGxuaRuYpU6t744mzn" name="2.png" alt="Martyn Lawrence Bullard" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/WWCwjGxuaRuYpU6t744mzn.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Martyn Lawrence Bullard)</span></figcaption></figure><p>As mentioned, Martyn has worked with a host of celebrities, including Elton John and Cher, the latter of whom composed the forward to his new book, <em>Star Style</em>. However, regardless of his location, Martyn explains that he designs the overall home to reflect his client&apos;s style, whether they want an English <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/country-living-room-ideas">country cottage-style living room</a> in Malibu or a Cali-cool bedroom in London. </p><p>&apos;Celebrities are interested because I don&apos;t have one particular style. I don&apos;t decorate in one look. I don&apos;t want people to walk into a room and associate it with me. Instead, I want them to walk in and say: &apos;this feels like you&apos; to whoever the homeowner may be,&apos; he says. </p><p>&apos;Whether it&apos;s a restoration of an 18th-century country house in Ireland, a disco-flavoured apartment for Elton John, or an Indian palace for Cher, I designed all these places in a wild way, but they&apos;re all designed as a reflection of the celebrity and not necessarily as a stamp of me.&apos;</p><p>&apos;That&apos;s one of the things that I love about my work, and that keeps us inspired. It&apos;s always ever-changing, ever-evolving, and totally, utterly custom.&apos; </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_horizontal" data-id="381ef049-fc5e-4d35-ae23-d6d01614472f">            <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Star-Style-Interiors-Lawrence-Bullard/dp/0865654158/" data-model-name="Star Style: Interiors of Martyn Lawrence Bullard" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2dU72pWwaLxmpmvgsNpBrX.png" alt="Martyn Lawrence Bullard"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Star Style: Interiors of Martyn Lawrence Bullard</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Star-Style-Interiors-Lawrence-Bullard/dp/0865654158/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong>$67.50 at Amazon</strong></a></p><p>In his third book, Martyn Lawrence Bullard takes you inside celebrity homes in <em>Star Style</em>, a collection of sensational, eclectic interiors.</p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div><p>As Martyn explains, each country may have its personal, quintessential interior style, but it&apos;s possible to follow whichever look we choose, wherever we may be.

                                <p>Martyn Lawrence Bullard might just have the most enviable client list in the industry. The British-born designer has spent years working alongside the likes of Cher, Tommy Hilfiger, Eva Mendes, and Kylie Jenner (to name but a few) – and his new book, fittingly named <em>Star Style</em>, brings these achievements to the forefront of our agenda. </p><p>&apos;I wanted<em> Star Style</em> to serve as a nod to what has given me the most attention, and that has been all the celebrities I&apos;ve worked with,&apos; Martyn says in an exclusive interview with <em>H&G.</em> &apos;I&apos;ve been fortunate that celebrities have loved my work – they’ve been nothing but encouraging and allowed me to publish these spaces.&apos;</p><p>With Martyn&apos;s exclusive clients comes the opportunity to design some of the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/house-design/worlds-best-homes">world&apos;s best homes</a> (From Los Angeles to Connecticut and further afield), but the basis of his teaching ideology translates to homes of all sizes. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="WWCwjGxuaRuYpU6t744mzn" name="2.png" alt="Martyn Lawrence Bullard" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/WWCwjGxuaRuYpU6t744mzn.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Kourtney Kardashian's home, designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Martyn Lawrence Bullard)</span></figcaption></figure><p>&apos;The most important thing about your home is that it really is that it’s a mirror of your personality, and it’s an expression of who you are,&apos; Martyn says. </p><p>&apos;There&apos;s nothing more personal in life than bringing somebody into your home and allowing them to see the way you live and what you surround yourself with. So, it’s important to be inspired by other people, but it’s also important to remember that each one of us is an individual, and we have individual tastes.&apos;</p><p>As Martyn explains, the purpose of <em>Star Style </em>(alongside the opportunity to look inside some celebrity houses) is to inspire us to incorporate our personalities in new and inventive ways. This might not be in the exact way that certain celebrities have exhibited themselves in their spaces, but it&apos;s a reminder that we, too, can celebrate ourselves through inventive design quirks.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="A3T3cS5Axm4YxsVbypcTQm" name="3.png" alt="Martyn Lawrence Bullard" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/A3T3cS5Axm4YxsVbypcTQm.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Ellen Pompeo's home, designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Martyn Lawrence Bullard)</span></figcaption></figure><p>&apos;Just because Kylie Jenner&apos;s got dining chairs that the leathers dyed to match her lipstick colors doesn&apos;t mean that you have to match your lipstick color in your <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/living-room-ideas-222997">living room</a>. Maybe it&apos;s more about if you have blue eyes and you feel good wearing blue; maybe that color blue should be the color you use for your own decoration. Because if you look good wearing it, think how good you&apos;re going to look surrounded by it.&apos;</p><p>As Martin explains, <em>Star Style</em> is a celebration of the beautiful homes that allowed him to become one of the most prominent designers in the industry. However, it also invites us to think about how we can make our own homes our havens, too.</p><p>&apos;I wanted it to be a celebration of them, of their style, hence the name, <em>Star Style</em>, and I wanted to give readers an opportunity to see and understand how we got to those interiors – what makes them so individual,&apos; he says.</p><p>&apos;It allows us to see the essence of each celebrity client within their homes and what makes it theirs. What makes these homes their sanctuaries?&apos;</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="2QT74E7Q2GWCE7MLjkuCNk" name="1.png" alt="Martyn Lawrence Bullard" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2QT74E7Q2GWCE7MLjkuCNk.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Martyn Lawrence Bullard)</span></figcaption></figure><p>&apos;I want people to see the elements of different celebrity personalities throughout, but I hope it encourages them to bring out their own personality and not be scared of that.

                                <p>Cher has always had a unique personal style. Photos of her home, posted by her interior designer and close friend Martyn Lawrence Bullard, reveal that the goddess of pop's iconically individual taste extends to her interior design style.

From the arched doorways to the gorgeous inlaid headboard and uniquely shaped lamp, you would never guess the bedroom is located in Malibu. </p><p>Interior designers say that by designing her home based on her personal style Cher has created a <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/classic-room-ideas">timeless room that will never date</a>. 'Cher is famous for channeling an eclectic source of influences through her onstage personae, but always putting her own signature spin on them. Combining objects and architectural design elements from various places and traditions gives her home a more personal, layered look, says <a href="https://www.taramccauley.com/about" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tara McCauley</a>, a New York-based interior designer.</p><p>Mehnaz Khan, the principal designer at <a href="https://www.colorconsciousliving.com/about" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Color Conscious Living</a> continues, 'The design of your living space significantly affects your subconscious, and the key is not to worry about perfect matching or following trends. If you picked something because it genuinely spoke to you; not because it is the latest trend or because everyone else has it - it will all come together and create a cohesive and harmonious look. Remember the common thread that ties it all together is you. A space designed this way is truly unique because it is a true reflection of you and there is no one like you on the planet.' Cher's eclectic <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/bohemian-bedroom-ideas">bohemian bedroom idea</a> is an excellent example of this timelessness.</p><p>Furthermore, the experts assert, that travel and global styles are excellent sources of interior design inspiration that will always be in fashion. 'Surrounding yourself with items that hold a personal story and were chosen during your travels because they resonated with you on a deep level has a profound impact on your home. It creates an environment that truly supports you and serves as a constant reminder of your rich experiences,' says Mehnaz Khan</p><p>Tara McCauley adds, 'Travel can be a huge source of creative inspiration as well as personal growth. Navigating the unfamiliar can help you discover things you never knew about yourself and can unlock new ways of seeing things. Incorporating design elements from places you've visited can be a beautiful reminder of meaningful moments.'</p><p>She continues, offering some advice for those who hope to recreate Cher's <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/main-bedroom-ideas">main bedroom idea</a> in their own bedrooms. 'It's better to thoughtfully collect pieces over time that are personal to you, rather than trying to recreate an exact replica of a style that doesn't work with the architectural vernacular of where you live.'</p><p>If you are interested in more ways to make your bedroom unique, our guide to <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/decorating-with-vintage">decorating with vintage</a> offers tips on making your home a space all your own.

                                <p>Martyn Lawrence Bullard is a household name in the world of home decor. He has designed homes for some of the world&apos;s most famous people including Kylie Jenner, Cher, and Tommy Hilfiger, and appeared on Bravo&apos;s <em>Million Dollar Decorators. </em></p><p>Most recently, Martyn took to Instagram to show off his brilliant <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/home-bar-ideas">home bar ideas</a> and share his top tips for creating a bar space in your own home.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CxN6rJlLoH7/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>The video shows Martyn behind the bar. Cubed and mirrored shelves behind him hold rows of alcohol in beautiful decorative bottles. The <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/kitchens/bar-countertop-ideas">bar countertop idea</a> has a reflective, white marble surface with a gold edge to add a touch of glamor. The front of the bar has decorative cutouts with dramatic burgundy velvet barstools in front. Stylish gold candlesticks line the bar, offering an old-world feel. Whether you have a massive bar room or a <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/small-home-bar-ideas">small home bar</a>, we love Martyn&apos;s inspiration and advice. </p><p>Martyn Lawrence Bullard states: &apos;The home bar. It&apos;s a very important room in my house, for sure, because I love to entertain.&apos; He continues, &apos;I’m lucky enough to have a sexy bar room in my house that has become a favorite hang-out with my friends and family.&apos; It&apos;s clear that in Martyn&apos;s space, this room becomes a stylish heart to the home.</p><p>On decorating the bar, Martyn says, &apos;I love to put a bar together. I think all of the incredible bottles are so fun they kind of become decorative in themselves.&apos; His number one tip for organizing a bar (or <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/solved/how-to-organize-a-bar-cart">organizing a bar cart</a>!) is: &apos;I like to group stuff together by taste, by flavor. I like to put the gins together, the vodkas together, the mixers, the whiskeys.&apos;</p><p>If this matchy-matchy look isn&apos;t for you, Martyn continues, &apos;But I also love the idea of collecting interesting bottles, and interesting alcohol everywhere you go. Whether it&apos;s a little lillet from France or I just got a great gin from  King Charles&apos;s Highgrove in England. It&apos;s so fun that it adds a little spice and excitement to the bar.&apos;</p><p>Beyond the alcohol, there are other design choices that need to be made in a home bar, and Martyn Lawrence Bullard has them all down pat. He says, &apos;I also really enjoy decorating the spaces. In here I&apos;ve put my <a href="https://cole-and-son.com/products/royal-fernery" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Cole & Son</a> wallpaper. And just for a little bit of personality, I&apos;ve got great photos of all sorts of people from the Queen of England to Mick Jagger, to Frank Sinatra, drinking.&apos;</p><p>He smiles, holding up a drink. &apos;And on that note... nothing like a little homemade cocktail to end the day. Cheers you guys,&apos; Martyn says. </p><p>From <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/basement-bar-ideas">basement bar ideas</a> to <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/bar-cart-ideas">bar cart ideas</a>, Martyn Lawrence Bullard has all of the answers.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="52d54c5c-b118-4906-9d49-e0b0443e9962">            <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/729933518/tapas-bar-stool-kitchen-counter-height" data-model-name="Bar Stool" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/b6NVta4jhMKagpUAHMWGym.jpg" alt="Pink Bar Stools"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Bar Stool</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>This handmade velvet and steel stool comes to the perfect height to be used at a home bar.

Prior to going freelance in the spring of 2025, Emily worked as Homes &amp; Gardens’ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.homesandgardens.com/author/emily-moorman&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Paint &amp;amp; Color Editor&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, covering all things color across interiors and home decor for the Homes &amp; Gardens website. Having gained specific expertise in this area, Emily is well-versed in writing about decorating with color – from the latest color trends to guiding homeowners towards the best paint shades – and is passionate about the importance of color psychology in home design to create spaces that are as practical and comfortable as they are stylish. &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Before her career in writing, Emily studied at Norwich University of the Arts, gaining an undergraduate degree in Fashion Communication. Upon graduating, she worked in creative roles across PR and marketing, giving her valuable experience in storytelling and digital communication. She uses her varied industry experience to craft meaningful written content, working with leading interior designers to inspire homeowners to create personality-led homes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Based in Glasgow, Emily lives in a tenement flat, which she loves furnishing with vintage furniture finds. Her own interior design style reflects the simplicity and clean lines of mid-century design, paired with more modern pieces. While she loves the calmness of a neutral colour palette, she enjoys adding bolder colors through accents. Emily loves homes that tell a story and reflect a timeless approach to design and decorating, and is constantly inspired by unique spaces that feel truly personal. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Is there anyone or anything more iconic than Cher? The Goddess of Pop is one of the world&apos;s best-selling musical artists with all-time hits like <em>Believe</em> and <em>If I Could Turn Back Time</em>. Therefore, it&apos;s no surprise that Cher&apos;s <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/entryway-ideas">entryway idea</a> in her home in Malibu is absolutely stunning. </p><p>The home, posted on Instagram by inimitable interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, takes its inspiration from Middle Eastern, North African, European, and Asian design. His latest post shows off Cher&apos;s entryway.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cps2nsHPcfH/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Design experts love the effect created by Cher&apos;s globally designed <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/designing-an-entryway">entryway decor</a>. Interior Designer Elizabeth Grace states: &apos;Embarking on a journey through Cher&apos;s entryway, one can immediately discern the benefits of embracing the North African and Middle Eastern design ethos in this space. These design styles offer an opulent fusion of cultures, boasting intricate patterns and vibrant colors.&apos;<br></p><p>&apos;In an entryway, these attributes serve to create a captivating first impression, setting the tone for what lies beyond,&apos; she continues. &apos;They invite guests into a world of sensory richness and cultural intrigue. The layered textures, ornate motifs, and earthy palettes transform the entryway into a passage of enchantment, making every arrival and departure a memorable experience.&apos;</p><p>Interior designer Nicholas Kaiko continues, &apos;North African and Middle Eastern design elements are renowned for their rich heritage and intricate detailing, making them perfect for entryways – a space that sets the tone for the rest of the home.&apos; </p><p>He adds, &apos;The design exudes warmth, inviting guests with a sense of hospitality intrinsic to the regions&apos; cultures. A blend of ornate patterns, luxurious textiles, and vibrant colors, all hallmarks of these styles, offers a visually rich and textured experience. The use of tiles, lanterns, and wood carvings can be tailored to fit both lavish and minimalistic spaces, allowing flexibility.&apos;</p><p>Instead of the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/entryway-furniture-ideas">entryway furnitur</a>e, both experts cite the curved doorway as one of their favorite aspects of Cher&apos;s foyer. &apos;Curved doorways, often seen as arches in North African and Middle Eastern designs, are emblematic of both style and cultural significance. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, they introduce a sense of flow and softness to the space, guiding the eye and providing a gentle transition between spaces. These arches, reminiscent of courtyards, imbue a sense of timeless elegance and grandeur,&apos; says Nicholas Kaiko.</p><p>He continues, &apos;In the context of this entryway, they act as a welcoming embrace, suggesting that there&apos;s more to discover within. The curved form, especially when accented with intricate carvings provides depth and dimension, adding layers of character to the overall space.&apos;</p><p>Interior designer Elizabeth Grace says, &apos;At the heart of Cher&apos;s entryway, the curved doorway emerges as a defining element with multifaceted qualities. Architecturally, it evokes a sense of fluidity and grace, drawing inspiration from Moorish arches and Middle Eastern design motifs. This curvilinear form transcends the conventional and linear, bestowing a sense of mystery and wonder upon the space.&apos;</p><p>Furthermore, she adds, &apos;It invites a gentle, meandering transition from the exterior to the interior, creating a feeling of anticipation and intrigue. Moreover, the curvature symbolizes the idea of a portal, a passage not just between physical spaces but also between cultures and histories. It engages the visitor&apos;s senses, compelling them to step through and explore the treasures that lie beyond, all while imparting an ineffable sense of elegance.</p><p>If you are a fan of Cher&apos;s interior design, shop the Cher edit below and read our list of <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/what-looks-good-in-an-entryway">What Looks Good in An Entryway</a> to get started on building your own dream foyer.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="6b11f848-da68-4fd5-aefb-d0a2713dd30a">            <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/902829092/jumbo-moroccan-antique-brass-ceiling" data-model-name="Moroccan Brass Lantern" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/dnRMgZorVo9gHEKCEL5awU.jpg" alt="moroccan style lantern from etsy"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Moroccan Brass Lantern</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>These tin and glass lanterns are hand made in Marrakesh using an authentic fret-sawing technique.

The contrast demonstrates the versatility of the talented designer. </p><p><a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/celebrity-style/chers-home">Cher&apos;s exotic home</a> reads like a world tour. Each room is full of eclectic furniture, textiles, and art sourced from North Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Clean lines, contemporary art, and pink leather rule the space. In fact, Martyn custom upholstered each chair in pink leather perfectly matching one of Kylie&apos;s lip products.

                                <p>Do you believe that artfully designed interiors can transport you? Cher&apos;s home, designed by celebrity interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, suggests that it can. The Goddess of Pop and <em>Believe</em> singer&apos;s Malibu home is a beautiful mix of furniture and textiles sourced from around the world. </p><p>Look through Cher&apos;s <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/decorating-ideas">decorating ideas</a> below.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CXKS7emvIX_/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Cher&apos;s California home reads as a liveable museum. Each room is inspired by international travel to a different country with furniture from Asia,  the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe combined in a stylish and cozy fashion. The combination of antique and modern elements gives Cher&apos;s house a cozy feel. Interior design experts love Cher&apos;s <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/home-decor-ideas">home decor ideas.</a></p><p>According to interior designers, the travel-inspired furniture in Cher&apos;s home creates an inviting warmth. &apos;An eclectic home inspired by international travels accomplishes more than mere decoration; it cultivates a profound sense of global awareness and cultural enrichment,&apos; says <a href="https://www.havardcooper.com/information" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Harvard Cooper</a>, architect and interior designer.</p><p>Havard continues, &apos;Even the most minimalistic dwelling can acquire a human touch by infusing a rich tapestry of colors, textures, and patterns, continuously captivating the eye and inspiring curiosity. Each piece, regardless of size, carries its unique narrative, catalyzing engaging conversations.&apos;</p><p>Furthermore, Cher&apos;s <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/global-interior-design-ideas-221700">global style</a> makes her home very visually interesting. <a href="https://feldman.construction/about-us/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ginadi Feldman</a>, interior designer, states: &apos;Creating an eclectic home inspired by international travels is like taking a journey without leaving your living room. It&apos;s an adventure for your senses.&apos; </p><p>He continues: &apos;The benefits? Well, first, it&apos;s an instant conversation starter. Your guests will feel like they&apos;re traveling the world with you. Second, it&apos;s a chance to showcase your personality. It&apos;s like a scrapbook of your life&apos;s adventures but in the form of furniture and décor.&apos;</p><p>Finally, experts say Cher&apos;s <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/home-ideas">home idea</a> tells a fascinating and cohesive story. Architect and designer Havard Cooper states: &apos;Thoughtful curation of a harmonious color palette instills unity and cohesion, even when incorporating diverse and disparate elements.&apos;</p><p>He adds, &apos;Take Cher&apos;s home, for instance, where neutral, natural tones create an elegant backdrop. Including deep, rich mahogany Torana and Moorish ogee arches within the same space alludes to the shared essence between various cultural groups. These architectural elements draw inspiration from many sources. However, originating from different ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and geographical regions, these motifs, like the iconic Gothic arch, developed for similar purposes, emphasizing our interconnectedness.&apos;</p><p>Ginadi Feldman states: &apos;This type of design is a constant source of inspiration. Every piece has a story, and that&apos;s a beautiful thing.&apos; He says, &apos;You layer pieces from different parts of the world, allowing them to complement and enhance each other. The result? A home that&apos;s uniquely yours, a storybook of your global adventures.&apos;</p><p>As travel increases annually, it is likely that the internationally inspired <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/interior-design-trends">interior design trend</a> will become even more popular.

                                <p>The Malibu home of actress Ellen Pompeo is a vibrant and maximalist space, that certainly doesn&apos;t shy away from making a loud statement.</p><p>The Grey&apos;s Anatomy star enlisted the help of esteemed interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard to create the living space. Bullard, who has designed the homes of numerous A-list celebrities – from Kylie Jenner to Winnie Harlow – is widely known for his eclectic take on interiors, and so this appears to be a very fitting design project. </p><p>We&apos;re honing in on the living room, which celebrates <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/rules-for-decorating-with-maximalism">decorating with maximalism</a>, following the below image which was shared by the designer. </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ClrWSdLvy_X/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Arguably the most striking element of the living room is the stone-clad walls, which create an instantly bold and statement look.

Designer Yvonne Landivar weighs in: &apos;The use of natural stone in a home invites the feeling of having nature indoors. It’s a timeless material that accentuates classic as well as contemporary designs, depending on the colors and patterns the stone comes in.&apos;</p><p>Commenting on the use of stone in Pompeo&apos;s living room, Landivar observes: &apos;It’s a very elegant proposition for a home with a mid-century flare and a touch of Hollywood’s golden era.&apos;</p><p>Also featured in the room is a bar cart, which brings a <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/mid-century-modern-decor">mid-century modern</a> feel to the room. The rest of the furniture follows a low-profile form with mid-century-inspired shapes, such as the set of armchairs that are covered in white upholstery.</p><p>By contrast, the sculptural coffee table champions a modernist take on design and compliments the striking stone wall. </p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-shop-ellen-s-maximalist-look"><span>Shop Ellen's maximalist look</span></h3><p>We&apos;ve rounded up some of the best buys from CB2 for you to shop below, to help you elevate your own living space with a modern and statement look. </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="0c6e7884-82a7-4fd5-9b64-7ce5cba35fa3">            <a href="https://www.cb2.com/santoro-round-black-marble-coffee-table/s529470" data-model-name="CB2 Santoro Round Black Marble Coffee Table" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/N86XgxLsdnSg7q8aRF6ajb.jpg" alt="black marble coffee table"><span class='featured__label hero__label'>1</span></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">CB2 Santoro Round Black Marble Coffee Table</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>Make a statement with this black marble coffee table.

                                <p>Of all the neutrals, a gray color scheme is one that instantly brings gravitas, so it is no surprise to see that Kourtney Kardashian has used this divisive shade in her lounge to great effect.</p><p>Despite our love-hate relationship with a gray color palette, we can&apos;t help but be enamored whenever we see a <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/grey-room-ideas">gray room</a> done so well. Designed by Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, who is no stranger to using color, it was a surprise to see a predominantly single-color scheme. But this visually pleasing living-cum-cinema room is far from dull. </p><p>In a conversation with Architectural Digest, Kourtney admitted that she doesn&apos;t use bold colors too often: &apos;I’m very afraid of color,&apos; Kourtney confesses. &apos;But when you have kids, you can’t be so stringent. Martyn was able to introduce bright pops in a way I can handle.&apos; </p><p>It&apos;s the additional splashes of blue and orange – two contrasting colors from the opposite ends of the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/color-wheel-223700">color wheel</a> – that add a <em>joie de vivre</em> to the space. </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CrMUQSTPYTg/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p><a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/advice/decorating-with-grey">Decorating with gray</a> not be might be your first choice when <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/advice/how-to-design-a-living-room">designing a living room</a> or <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/media-room-ideas">media room</a>, but don&apos;t dismiss this outdated neutral so easily, say designers.</p><p>Gray tones can make a lovely palette for a family room or lounge as they exude a sense of calm, believes Charu Gandhi, founder and director of Elicyon. </p><p>‘Gray shouldn’t be considered boring or cold; there are ways to make it feel warm and a focal point, either in wallcoverings or within fabrics and finishings. While in previous years cool grays alongside silver and high gloss tones were fashionable, we are using deeper, darker greys or even near-blacks in some of our rooms.These richer tones envelop you as you enter the room and add coziness.&apos;</p><p>To avoid the room feeling sombre, it’s important to pair gray with pops of color and texture in accessories such as pillows or throws or artwork,&apos; just as Martyn Lawrence-Bullard has done in Kourtney&apos;s lounge.</p><p><br></p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:2000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:120.00%;"><img id="wWszNTAGSXMqZSXydmfZFD" name="Grey-living-room-ideas-panelling.jpg" alt="Grey living room ideas" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/wWszNTAGSXMqZSXydmfZFD.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="2000" height="2400" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">An example of a dark gray living room </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future / Richard Powers)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Gray harmonizes well with almost every other hue, making it a most adaptable neutral and giving good reason for its popularity, says Helen Shaw, director at Benjamin Moore. She says there are three approaches to take when using gray as a base. </p><p>‘Tonal greys are perfect for anyone looking to add an accent color, as a complementary grey with a matching warm or cool undertone can be chosen for a harmonious look.’ </p><p>Alternatively, she suggests layering a gray paint with a green undertone: this is a fool-proof choice, as green greys sit at the center of the color wheel and flatter both warm and cool colors. </p><p>Finally, to make more of a statement, go for corals and pink peach tones. ‘They create a rich, warm welcoming feel with undertones of red, orange, and pink. It works beautifully as an accent to a grey scheme or as a statement wall color,’ she adds.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-shop-kourtney-kardashian-s-look"><span>Shop Kourtney Kardashian's look</span></h3><p>Timeless, elegant and calming – there is a lot to love about gray.

Prior to going freelance in the spring of 2025, Emily worked as Homes &amp; Gardens’ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.homesandgardens.com/author/emily-moorman&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Paint &amp;amp; Color Editor&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, covering all things color across interiors and home decor for the Homes &amp; Gardens website. Having gained specific expertise in this area, Emily is well-versed in writing about decorating with color – from the latest color trends to guiding homeowners towards the best paint shades – and is passionate about the importance of color psychology in home design to create spaces that are as practical and comfortable as they are stylish. &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Before her career in writing, Emily studied at Norwich University of the Arts, gaining an undergraduate degree in Fashion Communication. Upon graduating, she worked in creative roles across PR and marketing, giving her valuable experience in storytelling and digital communication. She uses her varied industry experience to craft meaningful written content, working with leading interior designers to inspire homeowners to create personality-led homes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Based in Glasgow, Emily lives in a tenement flat, which she loves furnishing with vintage furniture finds. Her own interior design style reflects the simplicity and clean lines of mid-century design, paired with more modern pieces. While she loves the calmness of a neutral colour palette, she enjoys adding bolder colors through accents. Emily loves homes that tell a story and reflect a timeless approach to design and decorating, and is constantly inspired by unique spaces that feel truly personal. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

Tapping into this popular <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/coffee-table-book-stacking-trend">coffee table display trend</a>, books don&apos;t only look stylish, but they&apos;re a great way to reflect your own interests, as Bullard explains: </p><p>&apos;Not only because I love books, but also because they add height to the table. They kind of give a little window into your personality, but they also give a lot of interest to the space.&apos; </p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-2-showcase-meaningful-objects"><span>2.

His preference is a candelabra, which he praises for its ability to not only add extra height to the table but for the flattering glow it gives the room. </p><p>In addition, he goes on to explain: &apos;Never forget a fragrance candle, again, to give your own flavor into the room.&apos; </p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-4-layer-with-boxes"><span>4. Layer with boxes</span></h3><p>&apos;Boxes too are always wonderful. I collect boxes from everywhere,&apos; he says.

But the thing that crowns it, that gives it that sort of wonderful natural flavor, are flowers.&apos;</p><p>Displayed in Bullard&apos;s home are pink garden roses that he explains bring a pop of color to the room as well as an element of freshness. Take reference from the designer and opt for flowers in a different color to the room&apos;s main palette to add further interest to the space. </p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-style-your-coffee-table-with-these-items"><span>Style your coffee table with these items</span></h3><p>Whether you&apos;re looking to start styling your coffee table from scratch, or rather looking to make some fall-inspired additions in anticipation of the changing seasons, we&apos;ve rounded up some of our favorite coffee table accessories for you to shop below. </p><p>Whatever design style you lean towards, make sure you follow Bullard&apos;s final piece of advice: &apos;...when designing a coffee table, just go for it.

                                <p>&apos;Blue and green should never be seen&apos;, the old adage goes, but we disagree. Mix just about any blues with any greens – including teal – and you have got yourself an effortlessly harmonious blend that&apos;s vibrant yet calm and soothing at the same time. </p><p>Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo has used this <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/advice/color-combinations-for-rooms">color combination for rooms</a> to perfection in her Martyn Lawrence Bullard–designed guest bedroom to create a seamless link to the outdoors beyond.</p><p>Designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the maestro behind the decadent homes of Cher, Elton John, and several members of the Kardashian family is no stranger to strong <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/room-color-ideas">room color ideas</a>. </p><p>In a conversation with Architectural Digest, Pompeo spoke about wanting to add plenty of personality and vivacity to her home. &apos;Some people want a sterile home that makes them feel like they’re at a spa. But I love a design that tells a story,&apos; she said. It is this carefree design ethos that throws this one <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/color-decorating-rules-to-ignore">outdated color rule</a> out the window.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CmzTh7yvN87/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>The source of the adage of never mixing blue and green has murky roots. Scratch beneath the surface and its origins are hard to fathom. One of the most likely theories, given that so much idiom in the English language derives from maritime vernacular and superstitions, is that sailors were warned not to paint the hulls of their boats green lest they become invisible when capsized. But it’s tenuous.</p><p>For decorator and designer Susan Deliss, it’s nonsense. ‘It just doesn’t occur to me to work with a rule book when it comes to color. It’s about what feels right for the room, its light and the environment around it. It’s a question of tone and judgment: In a sunny climate, you can probably get away with pairing acidic greens and cobalt blues for example but in a rural country house, it’s important to rein things in and look at greens and blues from nature for inspiration.’</p><p>Sarah Vanrenen of Vanrenen GW Designs is another fan of blending blue with green. ‘I always find a color combination of green and blue an incredibly uplifting and mood-enhancing color; it feeds my soul.’ To warm it up, simply throw in splashes of fuchsia, just as Ellen Pompeo has done above.</p><p>Despite the recent trend for &apos;quiet luxury&apos; we are noticing more and more designers and decorators turning their attention to curating bold, maximalist spaces as a playful respite from the beige and minimal neutral colorways we&apos;ve seen on the catwalk and main street alike. </p><p>Don&apos;t be afraid to combine blue and green in your home. &apos;I have paired these shades with great success in past projects,&apos; says Suzy Hoodless, founder of Suzy Hoodless. </p><p><br></p>

Whilst the whole home is providing us with plenty of interior inspiration, we&apos;re taking a closer look at the luxurious bedroom.</p><p>Designed by prestigious designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the bedroom was designed to be a relaxing sanctuary with references to 1930s glamor. Taking to Instagram, Lawrence Bullard shared a series of images of the elegant room, explaining in the post&apos;s caption that it was &apos;designed to be her personal haven, a sanctuary of beauty and calm, the place the globe-trotting supermodel can totally relax, revive and rejuvenate.&apos;</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwOxkVhLLRj/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Serving as the epitome of <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/decorating-with-neutrals">decorating with neutrals</a>, the room features a <a href="https://martynlawrencebullard.com/" target="_blank">Martyn Lawrence Bullard</a> custom-made bed, which he explains was designed to make reference to the 1930s movie star aesthetic. </p><p>The room also incorporates lots of different textures, including a pair of boucle chairs and ottomans which promote a cozy feeling, as well as soft textured bedding, further adding to the room&apos;s feeling of comfort. </p><p>To offset the use of soft fabrics throughout the room, the space also features more robust, heavy materials.

Prior to going freelance in the spring of 2025, Emily worked as Homes &amp; Gardens’ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.homesandgardens.com/author/emily-moorman&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Paint &amp;amp; Color Editor&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, covering all things color across interiors and home decor for the Homes &amp; Gardens website. Having gained specific expertise in this area, Emily is well-versed in writing about decorating with color – from the latest color trends to guiding homeowners towards the best paint shades – and is passionate about the importance of color psychology in home design to create spaces that are as practical and comfortable as they are stylish. &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Before her career in writing, Emily studied at Norwich University of the Arts, gaining an undergraduate degree in Fashion Communication. Upon graduating, she worked in creative roles across PR and marketing, giving her valuable experience in storytelling and digital communication. She uses her varied industry experience to craft meaningful written content, working with leading interior designers to inspire homeowners to create personality-led homes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Based in Glasgow, Emily lives in a tenement flat, which she loves furnishing with vintage furniture finds. Her own interior design style reflects the simplicity and clean lines of mid-century design, paired with more modern pieces. While she loves the calmness of a neutral colour palette, she enjoys adding bolder colors through accents. Emily loves homes that tell a story and reflect a timeless approach to design and decorating, and is constantly inspired by unique spaces that feel truly personal. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

Whilst they can be known for attracting hard and fast rules relating to frames, color, and theme, Bullard offers a more relaxed approach, inspiring individuality and creativity to take the lead. </p><p>‘Everybody wants to know how to make a gallery wall,’ Bullad begins. Describing his own gallery wall pictured in the shot, he emphasizes his non-conformist approach which is a vibrant mix of varying sizes of photographs, an oil painting, and a mirror which he claims brings ‘added design quality’ to the wall. </p><p>‘Don’t be scared to mix it up,’ he goes on to explain. ‘Don’t be scared to mix colors of frames, styles of images, just things you love. If you love it, it&apos;s going to look amazing.’</p><p>Alex Liepman, founder of contemporary art store <em>Drool</em> also champions Bullard’s creative approach: ‘The beauty of designing a gallery wall is that you can get super creative and add a ton of visual interest to a space. It’s the perfect opportunity to mix things up and incorporate some of your style and personality. An art wall that sticks to one style of artwork can be very predictable, so diversity is your friend.’ </p><p>‘In addition to art, consider incorporating other elements like mirrors, wall sculptures, or decorative objects to add depth and texture to your gallery wall,’ says Ginger Curtis, CEO and founder at Dallas-based Urbanology Designs. ‘Experiment with different themes, mixing vintage and modern pieces or even adding personal photographs to create a truly unique and meaningful display.’ </p><p>If going bold with color and a mismatched look is too maximalist for you, then you can always opt for a more minimalist style instead. ‘For a clean, minimal look, choose prints with a larger area of white or “<a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/negative-space-in-interior-design">negative” space</a>,’ Liepman advises. </p><p>We’re certainly feeling inspired by Bullard’s <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/wall-decor-ideas">wall decor ideas</a>, and have rounded up some key pieces for you to shop below to help you recreate a gallery wall in your own home.  </p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="8da87dbf-91df-4e89-840c-92b9181dbaa3">            <a href="https://www.target.com/p/elevated-aluminum-poster-frame-black-threshold/-/A-86677152?preselect=86325319" data-model-name="Target Elevated Aluminum Poster Frame Black - Threshold™" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:99.90%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/SbgYVSfF2rNKYHtEbohQ3Z.jpg" alt="Black Aluminum Poster Frame"><span class='featured__label hero__label'>1</span></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Target Elevated Aluminum Poster Frame Black - Threshold™</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>With a thin, metal frame, this is the ideal piece for creating a sleek and modern gallery wall.

Prior to going freelance in the spring of 2025, Emily worked as Homes &amp; Gardens’ &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.homesandgardens.com/author/emily-moorman&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Paint &amp;amp; Color Editor&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, covering all things color across interiors and home decor for the Homes &amp; Gardens website. Having gained specific expertise in this area, Emily is well-versed in writing about decorating with color – from the latest color trends to guiding homeowners towards the best paint shades – and is passionate about the importance of color psychology in home design to create spaces that are as practical and comfortable as they are stylish. &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Before her career in writing, Emily studied at Norwich University of the Arts, gaining an undergraduate degree in Fashion Communication. Upon graduating, she worked in creative roles across PR and marketing, giving her valuable experience in storytelling and digital communication. She uses her varied industry experience to craft meaningful written content, working with leading interior designers to inspire homeowners to create personality-led homes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Based in Glasgow, Emily lives in a tenement flat, which she loves furnishing with vintage furniture finds. Her own interior design style reflects the simplicity and clean lines of mid-century design, paired with more modern pieces. While she loves the calmness of a neutral colour palette, she enjoys adding bolder colors through accents. Emily loves homes that tell a story and reflect a timeless approach to design and decorating, and is constantly inspired by unique spaces that feel truly personal. &lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>If there’s one person who is the epitome of modern glam, it’s Kylie Jenner. Social media influencer and founder of beauty megabrand <em>Kylie Cosmetics</em>, Jenner is a leading figure in the beauty industry.</p><p>Known for her ultra-glam looks, her allegiance to color and loud statements doesn’t stop at her personal style; it appears her home is a reflection of this too. Her <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/kylie-jenners-white-entryway">Hidden Hills home in Los Angles</a> is unsurprisingly a playful and glam space.</p><p>Interior designer <a href="https://martynlawrencebullard.com/" target="_blank">Martyn Lawrence Bullard</a>, who designed the home with Jenner, shared on Instagram yesterday a styled snapshot of perhaps the most synonymous room to the reality star: the ‘glam room’.</p><p>Paying tribute to this year’s much-talked-about Barbie movie, the rise of <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/pink-room-ideas-203924">pink room ideas</a> has been all over social media. But it appears Jenner had this trend nailed long before the Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling hit movie.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CvdhgnOPN7-/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>The image, above, is a loud and eclectic delight: championing a bold and youthful personality. The room has a fully pink palette of different shades, as well as Barbie artwork by artist <a href="https://www.beaudunnart.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Beau Dunn</a>.</p><p>Jenner spoke to <em>Architectural Digest</em> on the design of her home, saying: ‘I told Martyn I wanted a fresh, fun vibe to match the way I was feeling. Color was essential. I love pink, and I wanted a lot of it!’</p><p>The room has two candyfloss pink swivel chairs, along with a long-pile soft, cloud-like rug positioned underfoot. Making a nod to old Hollywood, the full-width mirror features traditional circular vanity lights, making for the perfect getting-ready and selfie-taking spot. </p><p>The room is complete with a playful neon ‘Plastic’ sign, and a fully pink countertop with custom-built storage drawers for her expansive cosmetic collections underneath. </p><p>‘My closets and glam room are very personal to me, even down to the size of each drawer, so they fit my specific products and clothes. I spend a lot of time in those rooms, so we had to make sure they were perfect,’  Jenner tells <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/kylie-jenners-hidden-hills-home-is-equal-parts-sparkle-and-sumptuousness" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><em>Architectural Digest</em></a>. </p><p>Ksenya Malina, Principal at <a href="https://timeandplaceinteriors.com/" target="_blank">Time & Place Interiors</a>, shares her take on the pink-themed interiors trend: ‘For a retro look, I love the use of pink in a room. Coupled with sophisticated fixtures like matte black detailing, a pink themed room can look like an elevated twist on a vintage style.</p><p>‘Selecting pink accents like pink glass light fixtures, a pink accent chair, or a pink rug adds a whimsical touch to a room, instantly uplifting the mood.’ </p><p>While Barbie-inspired interiors aren’t for everyone, Jenner’s commitment to having fun with interiors to create a home that is unapologetically her own is refreshing. </p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-channel-your-inner-barbie-with-these-pink-pieces"><span>Channel your inner Barbie with these pink pieces</span></h3><p>Fancy bringing some pink into your own home?

                                <p>Media personality Kourtney Kardashian is often associated with minimalism – most famously through her fashion choices. Kourtney&apos;s gorgeous home in Calabasas, California is, at first glance, similarly pared back. </p><p>The reality star enlisted English-born, LA-based interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard to create her seductively white-toned home – most of which offers a lesson in <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/decorating-with-neutrals">decorating with neutrals</a>, timelessly. </p><p>However, like the rest of the house, the incredibly tasteful living room is far from characterless. In fact, it acts as a stylish backdrop for multiple pieces with charming stories and incredible mid-century finds.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CFNPheNF44u/" target="_blank">A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian Barker (@kourtneykardash)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>&apos;For the design-living reality star, I helped create and curate Kourtney Kardashian&apos;s house to encompass her love for mid-century furniture and contemporary art, whilst blending her number-one passion: her kids and family,&apos; explains <a href="https://martynlawrencebullard.com/martyn/calabasas-modern-kourtney-kardashians-house/" target="_blank">Martin Lawrence Bullard</a>. &apos;We gave them comfortable and easy spaces to  live and grow in while maintaining high style and modern design.&apos;</p><p>Kourtney&apos;s house, according to Bullard, &apos;brims with modernist gems&apos;, including, in the living room, the museum-quality <a href="https://www.1stdibs.com/en-gb/furniture/seating/lounge-chairs/white-leather-alta-lounge-chair-ottoman-oscar-niemeyer/id-f_33622342/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Oscar Niermeyer chair and ottoman (available at 1st Dibs)</a>, and a Christmas gift from ex-partner Scott, a Damien Hirst diamond skull. You can read more about the skull on <a href="https://www.artsy.net/collection/damien-hirst-skulls" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Artsy</a>, but know that the original was bought for $100 million by an investment group, and is the most expensive contemporary artwork ever made). </p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CsG_bypxSXA/" target="_blank">A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian Barker (@kourtneykardash)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>However, while packed with treasures, Kourtney insists the room is &apos;chic but practical... It&apos;s really for special occasions.&apos;</p><p>Other finds include <a href="https://www.1stdibs.com/buy/mid-century-modern-ribbon-lamp/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">mid-century modern ribbon lamps, which you can find at 1st Dibs</a> – &apos;I love these lamps because they&apos;re vintage,&apos; says Kourtney; a 1960s candy box, a pool table, a kissing vignette paperweight and a Yamaha grand piano. </p><p>&apos;This is my childhood piano and all the kids are learning to play on it now, just like I did,&apos; she comments. </p><p>The coffee table is piled with books and game boxes: &apos;These Syrian inlaid game boxes are very important to me because they were my dad&apos;s,&apos; she comments; while the walls are adorned with contemporary classics, such as photography by <a href="https://ruvenafanador.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ruven Afanador</a>, which you can also <a href="https://www.1stdibs.com/en-gb/creators/ruven-afanador-1959-colombian/art/photography/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">buy at 1st Dibs</a>.</p><p>So, while a <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/white-living-room-ideas">white living room</a> may seem like a safe choice, this room is clearly anything but characterless. </p><p>The Tuscan-inspired palette has not gone unnoticed by New York-based designer Joe Cangelosi, who adds that the socialite&apos;s use of textured soft furnishings is equally essential in making the space more exciting <em>and</em> inviting.</p><p>&apos;As the room is not focused on color, it&apos;s important to pay attention to the element of texture to make things interesting,&apos; he says. For a similar look, he recommends investing in a beautiful boucle fabric sofa or Mongolian wool pillows. </p><p>Kourtney&apos;s black coffee table, topped with (more) art books and plants, centers her space –and injects just the right amount of color. However, Joe adds that we can recreate a similar effect with a marble coffee table – that will add color to the room without overpowering the white. </p><p>&apos;You can also play with the scale and proportion of items, like having an oversized ottoman for seating and big vases on the floors to add yet more visual interest,&apos; Joe says.</p><p>In terms of <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/ideas/window-treatment-ideas">window treatments</a>, Kourtney has opted for a subtle mix of white blinds and drapes– a look that is equally inspiring in our own homes. &apos;When thinking about window treatment, you can have some beautiful white linen or silk panels or Roman shades to add something beautiful to frame the view,&apos; Joe explains. </p><p>&apos;White has been in fashion forever, and it&apos;s easy to swap out your decorative pieces and accessories occasionally over the years to stay on-trend and in style.&apos; This season, we&apos;re taking our cue from Kourtney – with these picks below.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="af0485e8-58c0-4948-b9f0-e50ddd77d3bb">            <a href="https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/zipcode-design-cottman-4-legs-coffee-table-with-storage-w006499110.html?piid=465933627" data-model-name="Cottman Coffee Table" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:97.98%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/5NY2aSnvJJdjoQdmTTKDCk.jpg" alt="Black two-tier coffee table"><span class='featured__label hero__label'>1</span></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">Cottman Coffee Table</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>The simple, clean lines of this black rectangular coffee table strongly resemble those seen in Kourtney's living room.

                                <p>When we heard that RuPaul Andre Charles had teamed up with Martyn Lawrence Bullard to redesign his home, we knew that we were in for a visual feast of color, extravagance, and opulence, and the final result far exceeded our exceptions. RuPaul, of course, is a revolutionary performer and a purveyor of glamor, while Martyn Lawrence Bullard is no stranger to modern eclecticism. In fact, it is what the celebrated designer does best. </p><p>When the Drag Race luminary and his husband, rancher Georges LeBar, acquired a Beverly Hills mansion in Los Angeles, they called on Bullard, to make it a home that truly reflected their penchant for <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/maximalist-decor-ideas">maximalist decor</a>.</p><p>Why <a href="https://martynlawrencebullard.com/martyn/martyn-top-interior-designer/" target="_blank">Martyn Lawrence Bullard</a>? A friend for nearly three decades, Bullard was the perfect choice for the couple. British-born, Los Angeles-based Martyn Lawrence Bullard is not only one of Hollywood’s favorite interior designers – much loved by the likes of the Jenner-Kardashians (Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, Kris, Kendall and Kylie), Grey’s Anatomy’s Ellen Pompeo, Cher, Tommy Hilfiger and Elton John – but a star in his own right with the Bravo TV series Million Dollar Decorators shown in more than 76 countries worldwide. </p><p>So while the entire house is a spectacle to marvel at, it is the exciting use of <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/advice/color-combinations-for-rooms">color combinations</a>, with one color in particular, garnering much attention in the <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/kitchen-ideas">kitchen</a>. Here&apos;s why this bold and vivacious color has stolen the spotlight for us...</p><p><br></p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CscG58GSYnv/" target="_blank">A post shared by Martyn Lawrence Bullard (@martynbullard)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>Draping his decorative talent over a grand but unadorned property built in the 1980s, Bullard transformed the kitchen into a Hollywood meets Regency-style fever dream, perfect for the high-spirited, larger-than-life personality of his client. </p><p>Working with architect <a href="https://hatch-inc.com/about" target="_blank">Christopher Hatch McLean</a>, Bullard recast the complexion of the kitchen by modifying any existing details that no longer served their purpose. But it is RuPaul&apos;s love for orange, believed to be his favorite color, that makes its presence known in this playful residence.  </p><p>Nestled among a monochromatic kitchen, splashes of fiery orange, punctuate not only the kitchen but also the adjacent breakfast room to perfection.</p><div class="instagram-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media"  data-instgrm-version="6" style="width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CsXRfurPvYI/" target="_blank">A post shared by DUCHATEAU (@duchateauofficial)</a></p><p>A photo posted by  on </p></blockquote></div><p>In the 1970s, orange was particularly popular for both flamboyant fashions as well as interiors. It was used in floor-to-ceiling schemes in bold geometrics and floral patterned designs and textures. While today burnt orange offers a more collaborative and perhaps less dominating presence, it does still share many of the same styling elements that were part of the 1970s look – especially when used as an <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/spaces/decorating/accent-color-ideas-224260">accent color</a>.</p><p>Vibrant and inviting, deep orange packs a decorative punch and is full of optimism and hope. Color will always look great when scaled and balanced correctly, which is why black-and-white is a wonderful canvas for loud colors.</p><p>Interior designer Emma Deterding, founder of <a href="https://www.kellingdesigns.com/the-team" target="_blank">Kelling Designs</a> agrees: ‘For me, the home should be filled with bright colors and bold patterns as they add personality to a space. Orange shades are a great choice – they bring an uplifting feel during the day and can help create a cozy, relaxed atmosphere in the evening, showing how versatile this color is in a different light.&apos;</p><p>However, if you are planning to <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/interior-design/decorating-with-orange">decorate with orange</a> in your home, you have to be brave and commit wholeheartedly. ‘Orange is a wonderfully optimistic color but it is not one for the cautious,’ says Helen Sanderson, creative director of <a href="https://www.iansanderson.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ian Sanderson</a>.</p><p>Burnt orange has long added piquancy to cocktails and cuisine and now provides our homes, and RuPaul&apos;s, with a similarly exhilarating flavor.</p><div class="product"><a data-dimension112="46df7461-9a7e-4bfd-a42f-052713ae8db3" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Workin' It!: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style | $23.43 at Amazon" data-dimension48="Workin' It!: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style | $23.43 at Amazon" href="https://www.amazon.com/Workin-RuPauls-Guide-Liberty-Pursuit/dp/006198583X/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><figure class="van-image-figure "  ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1576px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:162.44%;"><img id="LejXgovg5veYqUJrMLDcFb" name="81hzhQdpQnL.jpg" caption="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/LejXgovg5veYqUJrMLDcFb.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1576" height="2560" attribution="" endorsement="" credit="" class=""></p></div></div></figure></a><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Workin-RuPauls-Guide-Liberty-Pursuit/dp/006198583X/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-dimension112="46df7461-9a7e-4bfd-a42f-052713ae8db3" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Workin' It!: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style | $23.43 at Amazon" data-dimension48="Workin' It!: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style | $23.43 at Amazon"><strong>Workin' It!: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style | $23.43 at Amazon</strong></a></p><p>In this lifestyle guide, RuPaul teaches you their tried-and-tested techniques to navigate through light and propel you from background player to shining star!<a class="view-deal button" href="https://www.amazon.com/Workin-RuPauls-Guide-Liberty-Pursuit/dp/006198583X/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-dimension112="46df7461-9a7e-4bfd-a42f-052713ae8db3" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="Workin' It!: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style | $23.43 at Amazon" data-dimension48="Workin' It!: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style | $23.43 at Amazon">View Deal</a></p></div>
