It has a lovely selection of design shops and small galleries, an excellent city museum, and the gorgeous Royal Pavilion.

In this guide, I’ll take you on a self-guided walk to see the best places for design lovers in Brighton city centre.

Start your tour in the city’s most unique attraction and the ultimate design gem: the Brighton Royal Pavilion.

A former pleasure palace, this spectacular building has some of the most lavish rooms I’ve seen in any historic house in England. It was a joy to walk through it.

Each of the main rooms in the palace is heavily decorated and has so many items to explore, from awe-inspiring chandeliers to magnificent carpets.

There’s a strong and fascinating Chinese cultural influence on the design of the palace. Expect to find all sorts of pictures and sculptures of Chinese people, alongside dragons, snakes, and lotus leaves.

After the Pavilion, check out the city museum. It’s just a short walk away, through the Pavilion Gardens.

On the ground floor, you’ll find the 20th Century Art & Design exhibition, which is a must-see for design lovers.
