Bright Victorian house

Retail guru Mary Portas' jewel-bright London home…

TV's Queen of Shops, Mary Portas, turns retailers' fortunes around. Now she's used the same magic touch in her own West London home.

'Neutrals just don't make my heart leap,' says Mary, the retail and design guru famous for reinventing Harvey Nichols in the Nineties, for her ground-breaking Yellowdoor marketing agency, and for her BBC series, Mary Queen of Shops.

Mary lives with her partner, fashion writer Melanie Rickey, and her two children, Mylo, 14, and Verity, 12, in a house where 'beige' and 'bland' are banned.
