Farrow & Ball Gift: Imperial Purple

Mary Portas, creative trailblazer and retail revolutionary, invites Patrick O’Donnell into her London home to talk about the colours that have guided her through her life. ‘The world is colourful’ she says, ‘I always see my life in colour’. Together they delve into the way colours open a door onto chapters of our lives. ‘Orange has always been a great friend to me - through my hair, my fashion, my business - it’s a very powerful sensual colour.’ Mary also shares her penchant for matching the colour of her specs to different coloured rooms in her home. ‘I wear pink in my living room and neutral in my bedroom’, she says. And Patrick gets a peek into Mary’s glorious bright orange powder room.
