LAURENCE LLEWELYN-BOWEN

The designer and unashamed purveyor of opulence demands the best when it comes to his wardrobe, homewares and holidays

- MELANIE MACLEOD

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen refers to himself as “the Marquis of Marmite”, thanks to his outlandish designs.

But although his gloriously maximalist creations, including his recent collaboration with the home furnishings brand Terrys, exude luxury, the interiors expert keeps things more low-key in his own life.

A luxury night out would, in fact, be a night in. There's something so luxurious about not having to get tricked up and instead spending lovely, intimate, special time with my adoring wife and tribe of grandchildren. I love to go all over the world, but my extraordinarily orange drawing room always calls me back.
