Impressively, British-born Bullard retains a straight face whereas saying this, as his fabulous new ebook, Star Style, shows the
opulent houses he has designed for stars together with pop icons Elton John and Cher, fashionista Tommy Hilfiger, supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio and Winnie Harlow, and Kardashian clan members Khloé
and Kourtney, and their mannequin half-sister Kylie Jenner.

Jenner, 26, whose make-up empire has reportedly made her the world’s youngest billionaire, employed Bullard to design her first Los Angeles mansion.

And sure, her dwelling is rather like yours – as long as you have got eating chairs hand-dyed to match the assorted pink tones of lipstick in your signature assortment, bronze console tables sculpted to appear to be large molten gold drops paying homage to your skincare product packaging, a devoted purse room in your a whole bunch of uncommon Hermès Birkins, shoe towers crafted in glass, sun shades stands of suede, and a “glam room” the place hair and make-up artists arrive to primp and prep you.

Naturally, your Damien Hirst and Andy Warhol originals add vibrant accents to rooms painted in shades of pink.

“I wanted to go to the next level of fun and colour with this house,” explains Jenner, identical to you. Or maybe your private home is extra just like the Malibu seashore mansion Bullard designed for Cher, embellished with the outside of a Maharajah’s palace introduced from Jaipur, an 18th-century Chinese opium den mattress, and furnishings unearthed within the flea markets of Paris, Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, and the souks of Cairo.

“I travel the world finding special pieces, or have them made,” says Bullard, 56.

“I once had a custom dining table made by a very famous artist for just over $1million.”

You may suppose that cash is not any object for his shoppers, however Bullard assures: “There is always a budget, even for the world’s wealthiest people.”

It’s only a price range that’s past your wildest goals. But nice design doesn’t all the time come at an outrageous value. “I bought a pair of antique mirrors recently for £1million for a client,” he explains.

“They’re in a room beside two planted pots I bought from Zara Home for £15, because they really go well together. Style is more important than price.”

Though one imagines the pots by themselves won’t look fairly so glamorous.

Celebrities even have totally different wants from their houses, Bullard explains. “Most stars can’t just walk to the corner shop to buy a pint of milk without being mobbed, so their home becomes their sanctuary.

“That’s why my clients have glamour rooms where they can do their hair and makeup, and film studios for those, like the Kardashians, who film at home.

“The stars need their home gym and spa, and some add a recording studio.

“Increasingly I’m asked to add a sex room to a house: very sexual, sensual rooms with velvet walls or fur rugs,” says Bullard, although he gained’t identify names.

“I’ve created designer sex toys for customers who want them to match their home’s colour scheme, or plated in silver or gold.”

Bullard combines zebra prints with geometric patterns, Moorish accents with French antiques and English nation home fashion, typically bringing a cacophony of colors and kinds collectively in a method that, in opposition to all odds, seems to be spectacular.

Yet even Bullard has his limits.

“One client asked me to gold-leaf the interior of their garage so that it was like driving into a jewel box,” he says. “I walked away from that: a waste of £200,000. Another
client wanted a giant glass box to house his airplane next to his home – it would have dwarfed the house, and I declined.”

But he has gone forward with different equally unconventional designs.

“One client wanted his bedroom ceiling made of glass with a swimming pool above, so he could watch beautiful young girls swim overhead while he lay in bed. Very glamorous and sensual.”

For Tommy Hilfiger he added scratch ’n’ sniff banana-scented lavatory wallpaper.

“I don’t have a signature style,” he says. “I simply try to bring out my client’s personality into their home.”

He made an all-white dwelling for Christina Aguilera, a Cuban-style retreat for actress Eva Mendes, and reworked former supermodel Cheryl Tiegs’ Bel Air dwelling right into a Balinese pavilion.

He lined Elton John’s bed room ceiling in silver leaf, purchased the Duke of Windsor’s Persian rug for Tommy Hilfiger’s Connecticut property, and positioned Seventeenth-century terracotta statuettes inside Tibetan elephant drums
for Cher.

“Martyn works hand in hand with his clients to make sure their spaces reflect their dreams, crafting beauty that is personal, glamorous, and supremely livable,” says Cher.

“I trust his eye implicitly,” says TV drag queen RuPaul, whose grand ballroom Bullard hung with 26 custom-made glittering disco balls as much as 6ft extensive.

ullard smiles: “RuPaul had a seven-bedroom home and it’s now a one-bedroom home with two of the biggest closets you’ve ever seen for his 3,000 gowns.” Winnie Harlow says: “Working with Martyn has been a dream come true. His iconic style blends stunning design choices with an adventure of colours and textures, elevating my space into one that is eclectic, yet sophisticated.”

Says Alessandra Ambrosio: “He knows how to conjure a fantasy.”

Bullard additionally befriends lots of his shoppers, spending Christmases with Cher and holidaying with Elton John. “Designing a home is a very personal, intimate experience,” he says. “It’s like learning the secret life of the stars.

“Cher is amazing, involved in every element. I’ll be lying in bed with her at 11 at night showing her fabric samples.

“Kylie Jenner is young, sexy and playful, and I designed her home to match. Christina Aguilera also wanted a fun home with bright colours and shapes. I designed a giant circular sofa where she and girlfriends could sit, with a nail salon in the centre.

“Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne have more traditional tastes: they like antiques and English traditional style, though a chandelier has brass bats holding frosted glass balls.”

Bullard, together with his personal “James Bond-style” Nineteen Sixties dwelling in Palm Springs, and Andy Warhol’s former dwelling within the Hollywood Hills, was born in Bromley, Kent, the son of an opera singer. At age 12 he rented market stalls in Greenwich and Bermondsey promoting bric-a-brac.

“That’s where I learned my trade; I have no formal design training.”

He grew to become an actor and moved to Hollywood, however struggled – “sometimes I went a week without eating” – earlier than a movie producer visiting his dwelling liked his fashion and invited him to design an workplace. Celebrity shoppers quickly adopted, as did TV design reveals and Architectural Digest spreads.

Fresh from designing a £165million dwelling, he’s at present creating Sylvester Stallone’s “forever home” in Palm Beach, Florida, a brand new pad for singer Machine Gun Kelly, and has a TV sequence in growth.

And Bullard insists that he hardly ever encounters stars with terminally dangerous style. “If they’re hiring me, they have pretty good taste,” he laughs.

“I don’t follow trends – I make trends.”

So sure, the celebs could also be making their beds and cooking breakfast within the morning – however they’re doing it in outrageous and costly fashion.
