After 30 years designing A-listers' homes, Martyn Lawrence Bullard has encountered his fair share of unusual and over-the-top requests.

In an interview with PEOPLE about his forthcoming book Star Style: Interiors of Martyn Lawrence Bullard (out Nov. 7), which features many of the celebrity houses in his portfolio — Cher, Elton John, Ellen Pompeo, Kylie Jenner, Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian — the acclaimed interior designer opened up about some of his “crazy stories along the way.”

“A lot of my clients are not going to want 26 disco balls in their living room,” Bullard jokes, “but RuPaul loved it.”

And the glittering installation was hardly the only unique feat he tackled for the drag icon’s Los Angeles mansion.

He continued, “A lot of clients are not going to want to remove six bedrooms at their house to make a 5,000-square-foot closet to house 3,000 ball gowns, but RuPaul wanted to do that." Lawrence adds that he “removed three bedrooms for Khloé Kardashian as well to make her a closet.”

“There are a lot of moments, certainly within celebrity design, that end up being extraordinary things that other people wouldn’t necessarily have in their home, but that’s what makes it exciting,” Bullard, whose work has regularly been featured in the pages of Architectural Digest and Elle Decor, explains.

Bullard also shared a few of his more non-traditional projects.

“Somebody asked us once to come, sort of, blow up their living room and put a giant swimming pool in the middle of it so that they could watch their kids play when they were watching TV,” Bullard recalls before pointing out a recent trend among his high-profile clients.

“Many clients as of late have asked to have sex rooms, so we’re creating very luxurious, very glamorous and very wild sex rooms,” he tells PEOPLE. “One of which was designed to look like  a black quilted-leather Chanel handbag.”

Bullard’s career began 30 years ago with his “first ever real project” for Cheryl Tiegs. At the time, he didn’t even have a portfolio when she hired him.

“I was hired off the back of a feeling,” he says, adding that, "From her, it immediately went into a whole bunch of other celebrities.”

Bullard’s current status among his star clients has kept the high profile decorator busy.

In addition to TV and movie stars, he's also completed stunning retreats for fashion players like Tommy Hilfiger, Winnie Harlow and Alessandra Ambrosio, as well as remarkable estates around the world for more private clients — all featured in the pages of Star Style.
