RuPaul's Hollywood Regency-inspired powder room shows why we should all be decorating based on personal style

Rupaul charles.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard is known for creating unique spaces that reflect the personalities of his clients. His design in RuPaul Charles's home perfectly embodies this reputation. The self-proclaimed 'Queen of Drag' has a bold, unapologetic, campy, and colorful personality, and his home reflects it. One of the best representations of this is Ru's green powder room, which could have only been created for the Drag Race host.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard's bathroom idea for RuPaul involves green silk wallpaper handpainted with silhouettes of his profile wearing some of the most iconic wigs from Drag Race. In an Instagram post about the room, Martyn says: 'All taken from actual looks of his, the art is painted on Apple green silk, and gold leaf has been applied around the silhouettes. The silhouette was a popular decorative motif in the 18th and early 19th centuries, often given to prospective partners as a token of love. As such the look fits in perfectly with the whole Hollywood Regency vibe of the home.'
