Livsstil is one of my favourite stores in Birmingham. Located in the Minories arcade, just by the Priory 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! read more
