This is the store that supplied all of my kitchen appliances recently and I would definitely go to…read morethem again if I needed to. This large shop is mainly a showroom presenting almost everything you would need or desire in a kitchen. They show and supply all of the large appliance brands. The brilliant thing about this shop is the owner who also deals with most of the customer orders. He really knows his stuff and can give you invaluable advice. We were ordering a few items at once but he easily switched his knowledge from ovens, to fridges, to sinks with ease. They arranged delivery and fitting of all the items with care and ease. After consulting the internet their prices are just as cheap as anywhere else.

Although the selection here is small (the shop is bigger than it looks though) the quality of their…read moreproducts are very high. Cool designs and sleek shapes or traditional claw footed baths abound. The team are very helpful, if they don't have the style you want in stock they'll help you find something more up your street in the catalogue. I did my research online and was pleased to find they offered me a very competitive deal in store for a sink unit. They didn't have the colour I wanted in stock, so I had to rely on pictures. They advised me that I could have it taken back by the courier immediately if I didn't like it on arrival but the chap who served me was certain I would like it. He was right. In addition the updates received on the delivery were prompt and helpful and the delivery guys carried my unit up to the attic for me. Lovely quality, helpful staff.

Apparently Bathstore is the country's largest specialist bathroom retailer - but the reason I…read morereview it here is because it sells some rather lovely things (I know it's hard to get worked up by a toilet cleaning brush set but believe me they sell some beauties here) and because I think its one of the few bathroom places in the High Street. Much like the other biggies - I'm thinking Ikea and B&Q here they tend to work with European designers and the prices seem very affordable. As well as offering an array of pretty bathroom accessories - toothbrush holders in day-glo colours and soap dishes that are kind of space-agey in design, the Harborne branch is able to offer advice on bathroom design, installation and delivery. Staff seem nice enough and are happy to let you potter around and browse.

Livsstil is one of my favourite stores in Birmingham. Located in the Minories arcade, just by the…read morePriory Courts, you may think it is often overlooked but it must be popular to have survived so long. Now I don't even bake that much really but I could easily spend an hour or so and a few hundred quid in Livsstil; They have the nicest cookware in Birmingham; miles better than TK Maxx and House of Fraser, which are my second and third choices for anything cookery related. From bakeware to salt and pepper shakers, kitchen scales to cute aprons, professional knives to electrical items; Livsstil really do have it all. Last time I visited they had the cutest cupcake shaped kitchen timer and some lovely brightly coloured, rubber spatulas. I'm a real sucker for vintage looking kitchen items and they have plenty of those to go around too. Livsstil have got it down to a tee with a real mix of functional, modern items, shabby chic signage, shelving and rustic, cutesy items. Everything for everyone. It's a one stop shop for chefs and enthusiasts; the only thing that could make it better would be a bakery, butchers and green grocer next door. Seriously. Go visit!

Ooh I love this shop - this despite me being useless at baking (I can still remember sobbing into a…read morebatch of wholemeal rolls that refused to rise in Home Economics) and having an almost pathological hatred of cupcakes. The thing is this shop sells so much pretty, yet practical stuff - espresso makers, salt and pepper mills, wooden spoons, towels etc - I know it shouldn't matter what this kind of thing looks like, as long as it's functional but sometimes you want something that looks nice too. Other things you can purchase here are nice mugs, aprons (does anyone apart from my Mom wear an apron any more?) and heartwarming (for someone like me who is useless at making scones but can whip up a mean gin and tonic) things you can make ice-cubes in. It's not that expensive - say compared to Debenhams or the chintzier retailers and the staff are nice.

From the outside of Muji I think its quite hard to work out what kind of shop it actually is....the…read moreclothes in the window give the impression of a fashion retailer but you can clearly see office supplies inside the door. Confused I ventured inside to have a look around. The place is a home and fashion retailer stocking stationary, homeware, bedding and clothing. All of the items in the shop are very well designed and have a very crisp vibe. I like the attention to detail in the shop with the very minimalistic approach to the layout making everything very easy to look at at and make your way around. On a personal note there was a cuckoo clock I saw while inside the shop that I think now has my name on.....it was really special. Ill think twice before going in for a look around again it could be an expensive habit!!

Muji can easily be seen from the ramp as you leave New Street station. Head past Jane Norman (on…read morethe corner) and head up towards Centenary and Muji is located on the right hand side. It's a strange old shop, originating from Japan, their mission statement to develop new simple products at reasonable prices by making the best use of materials while considering environmental issues. They sell stationary, bedding, furniture, and clothes. The stuff they produce is very basic and simple, well made but I find that it's rather expensive. (The last time I looked, dressing gowns were £40). I do have a brother who hates labels and likes simple clothes that are enviromentally friendly so for christmas presents it is always worth a look.

My wife's disabled and we needed to convert our traditional bathroom into a wet room. We'd had…read moreseveral quotes from accredited/recommended installers but none of them inspired us or convinced us which was the best solution for us. A neighbour then recommended Bathrooms Galore. I went to the showrooms in Stoney Lane and had a look around and a chat with Andy Board and arranged for him to come out and give us a quote. He came to our house and listened to our ideas and thoughts and then talked us through all the options and alternatives that were available to us. A few days later he came back with his recommendations and a quote based on what we had agreed. The details and specifications were far more informative and helpful than any of the others we'd previously had. He also supplied a 3D simulation of the finished bathroom and catalogues illustrating all the fittings and furnishings that would be installed. And the total cost was in line with what we had previously been quoted by installers who had not given us any confidence. Unfortunately due to a change in our circumstances we have not been able to proceed with the work. However based on the work they did for our neighbour and the professionalism, patience and attention to detail that Andy displayed I would not have hesitated in asking them to go ahead with the work. Based on our experience I highly recommend Bathrooms Galore.
