Fancy swinging about on a trapeze in your living room? Floating about by your own treasure island? Or how about living in wall-to-wall rainbows? Are you someone who has always secretly longed for a disco ball in your kitchen? Forget a feature wall or flamingo wallpaper, when it comes to standout decor, some homeowners are going wildly off-piste. Yes, even Gemma Collins with her lifesize horse statues and the 6ft giraffe holding a chandelier can't cut it in the OTT stakes against some of these eccentric homeowners. And who better to embrace a bold and flamboyant style than the King of Interior Design, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowe n? In his new upcoming C4 show Outrageous Homes, the man himself celebrates these great British visionaries as he checks out the country’s wackiest houses.
And big clue: none of them are exactly minimalist. From a terrifying taxidermy house to a Venetian palazzo, a Wild West theme, an Aquaman tribute and a residence embracing the 1970s in a big way, these homes are like nothing you’ve ever seen before. An over-excited Laurence is bored with people who fill their homes with 50 shades of grey, just like everyone else.
