Your Walls and Floors Dressed to the Nines

On The Surface

The spaces which take up the greatest area in your home are often also the most neglected. We may splurge on a sofa or swish statement cushions but live within blank walls and uncovered floors. Pay attention to the largest surfaces and let your imagination run wild.

Play with colours outside the usual scope like this dusty salmon colour from Crown Paints (directly above), which immediately softens a room, or on a more personalised approach, a mural (top right). Cullifords' grey and white colour scheme is interesting without being overpowering in a neutrally decorated space. With a mural there's no need to add an additional piece of statement art as your walls do all the talking.

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.”
