Through the Hollywood keyhole: He knows the bedroom secrets of the stars and British designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard is sharing them with you. But can you guess who would live in homes like these? By Peter Sheridan Forget the global recession. In Hollywood, extravagant opulence and conspicuous consumption have never gone out of style. British designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard is the king of Hollywood interior decor, spending the stars" millions to make their dream homes a reality, no matter how outrageous. The 47-year-old, from Bromley in Kent, has created lavish interiors for celebrities including Sir Elton John, Christina Aguilera, Ozzy Osbourne and Jimmy Choo boss Tamara Mellon. Designer to the stars: Martyn Lawrence Bullard, right, with Elton John and David Furnish The flamboyant designer, whose new reality TV series Hollywood Me comes to Channel 4 next month, is currently crafting homes for rap star Nicki Minaj and fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger. "I get into celebrities fantasies and bring them to life," he says. Below are asome of his stunning interiors - which you can try to match to the celebrity clients. But beware! None of the stars are next to their homes. Meanwhile Bullard here shares some of the more memorable anecdotes from his unusual job: Push The Right Buttons I hid a TV beneath Cher's bed, and at the push of a button it rises up. Another press, and it swivels so she can watch TV from her giant bathtub. And if she's entertaining while having a bath, another button drops an opaque gold-embroidered gauze from the ceiling, so guests can see her shadowy form as she's getting ready. PROPERTY ONE: A pied-a-terre for the well heeled The Look: Designer dentist's waiting room. The Lowdown: The opulent living room is framed by huge pillars. The bedroom is dominated by a black tapestry embroidered with gold thread which Bullard spotted while in Istanbul with the home's owner. Verdict: Bootiful, and marble floors are ideal for stilettos PROPERTY TWO: If you've got the lute, you can afford the bison The Look: East meets West. The Lowdown: The huge stuffed bison is something of a surprise, while the instruments hint at a love of music. The Buddah suggests someone tranquil and inspired by the East. Verdict: Zen, like the sound of one hand rapping PROPERTY THREE: A little bit over the top, a little bit funny The Look: 1970s playboy's penthouse pad. The Lowdown: This plush LA apartment is hardly child-friendly, as you'd be hard pushed to get felt-tip out of that white sofa. Verdict: Inspired by the decade taste forgot PROPERTY FOUR: Hippy chic with sunny aspect The Look: Colonial themed nightclub. The Lowdown: Bullard brought the entire facade of a palace in Rajasthan to fulfill this owner's desire to live like the wife of an Indian Maharajah. The Verdict: Timeless... well, up to a point PROPERTY FIVE: The perfect family room (family not included) The Look: Barbie's farmhouse. The Lowdown: The kitchen is perfect for family meals. And when the rows start, there's a basket of ammunition within reach. Verdict: Not much metal on show Property One: TAMARA MELLON These are her homes in London and New York. Property Two: KID ROCK This is his opulent home in Malibu. Property Three: ELTON JOHN Here is his apartment in Sierra Towers in Los Angeles. Property Four: CHER Sir Elton's neighbour - she also lives in Sierra Towers. Property Five: THE OSBOURNES Their £9 million home in Hidden Hills, California. Cher: Do you believe she will turn back time with her choice of decor? And will it be as exotic as she is? The Osbournes: For those about to rock how about a good night's sleep (and for families too). Sharon Osbourne pictured with Martyn Lawrence Bullard Take A Cue From Pornography "We wanted something inspired by 1970s Los Angeles, à la Boogie Nights," says Sir Elton John of the home Bullard designed for him and partner David Furnish, recalling the 1997 movie about the porn industry. As part of the design, Bullard put silver leaf across the bedroom ceiling. Do All White . . . Or All Colour "The first home I did for Christina Aguilera was all white, with small bursts of colour from her Warhols," says Bullard. Now she's flipped that, with a new home bursting with colour. Elton called his colour-filled Hollywood home a "floating jewel box." Kid Rock: He's the rapper who married Pamela Anderson. What must his taste be like? Tamara Mellon: Choos carefully the home where the shoe queen likes to put her feet up Raid Other Cultures "For actress Eva Mendez I created a taste of Cuba," says Bullard. For X-Men star Rebecca Romijn, I transformed it into a Tyrollean retreat. I turned supermodel Cheryl Tiegs" Bel Air home into a Balinese pavilion, though neither of us had been to Bali." Keep It Classy "One client asked me to golf-leaf the interior of their garage," says Bullard. I walked away from that... wasting $250,000. That's crazy. Size Matters Bullard had a 3,000lb marble table built for Tamara Mellon's penthouse - but it didn't fit in the lift. I had to close off a New York street and hire a crane to hoist it to her sixth floor window..
