Outrageous Homes With Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen | Preview (Channel 4)

In a new series from Salford-based Beyond Productions North, the king of interior design celebrates our great British visionaries, our cherished eccentrics and our proud-to be different homeowners.

In Outrageous Homes with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen (4x60), LLB meets people across the country who value originality and decorate their homes without fear.

He’ll visit properties across the UK with wild, wonderful and truly outrageous domestic decor to discover why the homeowners dare to be different with their designs and how they did it, as well as delving into how much it all cost.

Laurence will also meet some of the architects, designers and decorators who helped bring the bold and creative visions to life. In Outrageous Homes with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, there is no such this such thing as bad design.

In the first episode, Laurence checks out a barn that once paid homage to Treasure Island, a Wild West ranch-inspired garden, a magnificent mosaiced house and a 1970s-decorated home featuring a Fanny Cradock Banana candle.

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen said: “Huzzah! At last, a property show that turns its back on Delusions of Blandeur and instead celebrates homes that take OTT to another level of FABULOUS. In fact, we’ll be filming in spaces of such OUTRAGEOUSNESS I’ll be the most understated thing on screen which is, let’s face it, an extraordinary achievement…”

Deborah Dunnett, commissioning editor for Channel 4, said: “This is an altogether different property series. So as the epitome of extravagance and eccentricity, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is the perfect person to host it. Who wants uniformity anyway?”

Damon Pattison, Creative Director at Beyond Productions, said: “We can’t wait to get started on this exciting new series, we’re all guilty of following design trends - so by taking a sneak peek into this fabulous world of homeowners who decorate to their heart's desire, we hope to inspire the nation to do the same!”

Outrageous Homes with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen begins Thursday 20th June at 10pm on Channel 4.
