Utility Room
Homes & Interiors Scotland
|January-February 2017
An old-fashioned luxury still finds its place in the contemporary home.
-
THINK ABOUT THE MOST RELAXING PLACE IN your house. Is it a window seat overlooking the garden? A spa-like bathroom? A tranquil bedroom dedicated to downtime? All play a vital role in making the home a sanctuary, but some would argue that more important than any of these is a room reserved for dealing with mess, whose door can be closed firmly behind you. It might sound a bit like a luxury – and an old-fashioned one at that – but if space can be spared for a utility room, you’ll soon wonder how on earth you ever coped without one.

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.”
