One of the UK’s favourite interior designers and no stranger to Northern Ireland, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen talks to GO’s Sarah-Jayne Cassells about his new collection for Littlewoods, Christian Grey and what colour sex is!

As I walk into the settings of Laurence’s suite in the glamorous surrounding of The Merchant Hotel in Belfast, I know there is no better place to meet this immaculately groomed, well-spoken and flamboyant character. I feel like I could be walking into his home as he sits perfectly poised in the fabulous setting.

But I wasn’t there to talk about the interiors of The Merchant, I was more interested in finding out about whether we would be seeing him back on our television screens for a new series of ‘House of the Year’ and his new collection for Littlewoods.

Whether it’s a splash of colour you’re after, or a complete style overhaul, Laurence’s new Littlewoods range has something for everyone. Using his years of experience as one of the country’s top interior designers, Laurence has created a spectacular collection that includes bedding, curtains, mirrors and wallpaper, in an array of stunning colours and fabrics that are sure to transform the plainest of rooms.
