lavender / room

The girls in here should be arrested they’re so pretty, and we haven’t gotten started on the beautiful things they sell there! Walk along Bond St and this place leaps subtly out at you with the scent of lavender. Whenever I’m panicking about what to buy my girlfriend, mum or sister for Christmas or birthdays, I come here and always the emergency is extinguished as I exit with a beautiful set of earrings, some frilly underwear (not for mum mum sicko!), a camisole, a picture frame, a French candle, a necklace… if interior shops were the afterlife, then this space would most definitely be where the angels hung. In a word — heaven.

The first thing that hits you when you walk into The Lavender Room is the fact that it smells absolutely divine if you like lavender, that is. And the décor is just so pretty, along with everything in it. All their stock mainly themed around flowers, butterflies, hearts and lace is incredibly beautiful, but pretty expensive. A dress from here, full price, will set you back about £125.
Their little knick-​knacks towards the front of the shop are a bit more affordable though, and would make great gifts. Their mini-​bath bombs, displayed on a tiered cake stand, look and smell absolutely gorgeous (I can’t possibly describe how delicious they smell) and at £2.50 each (£16 for six packaged in a lovely little box), they’d make a fantastic treat for you to relax and unwind. I’ll definitely be heading back for a few for myself!
I’ve also got to mention the fact that the staff are all so immaculately groomed and stylish that they look as if they were born to work here they just serve to add to the elegant glamour of the entire place. I’m sure anyone would adore browsing here, even if you have absolutely no intention of buying anything.

I am in love with the glass detailing above the windows of this shop– every time I walk past, I imagine myself living in a gorgeous Victorian house with similar windows. And then I take the day dream inside!
The Lavender Room has been a favourite shop of mine for a long time. Yes it might be overpriced and a little contrived (but seriously, I challenge you to find a lifestyle boutique that isn’t!), but the fact remains that everything in store is beautiful! From the tiny heart-​shaped nicknacks and the gorgeous glazed chinaware to the delicate clothing upstairs, everything is carefully chosen and perfectly positioned. Pretty silk lingerie and beautifully cut dresses drape over stylish furniture and hang on uncluttered rails. I often find myself sifting through the clothing, imagining another far more glamorous life for myself! The Lavender Room is one of the most successful lifestyle/​gift boutiques in Brighton, for the simple reason that it actually makes you aspire to own everything in the shop!
In the front of the shop you’ll find attractive displays of smaller items, such as soaps, dishes and jewelery. These are perfect gift items– they even wrap your purchase in lavender tissue paper and a pretty paper bag!

The range of stock in the Lavendar Room may not be 100% unique bearing in mind its conscientiously quirky North Laine neighbours. Pop in and you’ll find jewellery, chocolates, candles, clothes, cards and picture frames. However, what this shop gets absolutely spot on is its selection of stock — the items are carefully chosen, coordinated and arranged throughout the shop. It’s somewhere I can never imagine I’ll ever have the spare cash to treat myself, but it is great for a gorgeous gift for someone you don’t mind forking out a little more on. I recently bought a dainty bronze coloured swallow necklace there for £23 for a friend — probably very overpriced but very pretty, and much nicer than high street varieties I’d seen. Also very worth looking at is the range of clothes, particularly lingerie. At the moment they have a gorgeous embroidered silk dressing gown at £69 which’d be a lovely treat for a mum or sister.

Oscar Wilde would have loved The Lavendar Room.
They don’t sell books, waistcoats or handsome young men sadly.
They do however, sell lots of beautiful things. The front of the shop is devoted to stylish and French looking homeware from distressed mirrors, picture frames, candle holders, cake stands and tea-​sets to chandeliers whilst the back is home to a small but fabulous selection of ladieswear. There’s silk PJs and kimonons, stripey bedsocks, suede shoes and boots by Chie Mihara, lovely handbags from Mimi and adorable silk scarves and jewellery.
As you’d expect, the price tags are slightly higher than other local homeware stores but then, the quality feels better. Personally, I’m after the gold swallow necklace and the silver glitterball bracelet. Two things I’m sure Oscar would approve of…

This is a glamorous and soft twenties movie star’s boudoir– where you can buy everything on display! Brilliant. The entire shop looks like the charming private rooms of a feminine and stylish woman. They sell small decorative items– candles, mirrors, trinket boxes, jewellery– all in lovely pinks, purples and peaches, usually with a touch of silver or gold. They have lovely bags, scarves and other accessories. In the second room at the back of the shop they have rails of beautiful clothes– soft wool, vintage inspired pieces; and lingerie– always very pretty in silks and satins. The prices range from a few pounds for some of the bracelets to nearing the hundreds for some of the clothes.

a simply lovely shop to browse through. it is perfect for finding little gifts and presents for yourself and others if you are looking for something specific this is not the place to go. as with all the lanes it is a small shop so can be exceedingly crowded at times.

This is absolutely my favourite shop in Brighton. Full of lovely things to buy for yourself or your friends at birthday time. And I agree with the previous review — it smells divine! I can’t help buying something everytime I pop into town. Well worth a look when in Brighton. Just checked our their website and it is just as gorgeous as the shop. Happy Shopping…

This is a beautifull shop situated in the laines area of Brighton that if you’re visiting is well worth a look. In all honesty it doesn’t really sell a whole lot of what you need but it does sell lots of pointless things you just want. It’s perfect for gifts and sells jewellery, bags, purses, clothes, vases, pretty pots and so much more. They have an online shop but if you get a chance to go in you should, the shop smells gorgeous and is beautifully decorated with venetion mirrors and screenprinted wallpaper.
