Keep It On The Lowdown

 Function is a matter of priority when choosing your living room flooring. As is so often the case, it all comes down to what the area is being used for, as well as who is going to occupy the space. Will there be little ones running around? What about those with furry paws? Depending on the answers, certain options could be better-suited to your needs, but you won’t have to sacrifice form over function.

Marble flooring can provide a statement style while still proving practical if your living room generates a lot of footfall. This Tangram style from Lithos Design (above) is a luxurious option ideal for those wanting an impressive floor that stands out against its surroundings. Its broken down shapes and rich autumnal shades reduce that feeling of coldness that can sometimes be an issue when dealing with stone flooring.

TASTEMAKER EMILIO GIOVANAZZI

The first time Emilio Giovanazzi was asked to create a cocktail list, he was working in Paperinos, the beloved but now-closed Italian restaurant in Glasgow that belonged to his uncle. “It was a great place, and it would consistently win awards for its wine list,” he recalls. As the city’s eating habits evolved, they needed to think of a way to attract a younger crowd. Emilio's dad (who owned La Parmigiana restaurant), figured cocktails was the answer. “He went to a charity shop and picked up the first cocktail book he could find,” says Emilio. “And it happened to be The Savoy Cocktail Book.”
