Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen wants to redesign Buckingham Palace

OHMYGOSSIP — Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen wants to work his magic on Buckingham Palace.
The ‘Changing Rooms’ star compared Queen Elizabeth’s residence to a tired hotel and thinks that it could be improved with TK Maxx furniture.
Laurence recalled how he took a group of wallpaper designers around the palace and is not surprised that the monarch has opted to live at Windsor Castle instead.
The 57-year-old designer told The Times newspaper: “Bits of it feel like a run-down country house hotel… not one of the good ones.
“It’s a mess. I’m not surprised Her Majesty’s left it.”
Laurence has revealed that he would relish the chance to put his own touch on the 775-room building.
He said: “I would quite like to do Buckingham Palace if they trusted me to really give it some welly.”
Meanwhile, the designer famously wears leather trousers on ‘Changing Rooms’ – which was successfully revived on Channel 4 last year – and claimed the only reason he favours them is because he can easily wipe paint from the garments.
Laurence said: “To be 57, squeezing into leather trousers and painting walls felt a bad idea.
“I wear leather for a simple reason — if I kneel in paint, I can scrape it off. Jeans or cords, those are ruined.”
The star also joked that the return of ‘Changing Rooms’ has allowed him to “come back from beyond the grave” and revive his TV career.
He joked: “Fundamentally, it’s an enormous opportunity to come back from beyond the grave.
“I have an entirely new leather wardrobe, which has been made by my tailor in the Cotswolds.
“He is forever doing Lord Somebody-or-other’s tweeds and then I go in and say, ‘Darling, I want leather and rock ’n’ roll. I want to look like a middle-aged Adam Ant.'”
