Kuhl-Linscomb

Cool spot! Decent service and reasonable pricing! Nothing else I would wish to get there!

Since moving to Houston, there isn’t a gift that I don’t buy here. From the most amazing card selection, to gifts for literally ANYONE, there’s an endless amount of unique choices here.
Some highlights:
–card section
–huge kids section with traditional toys (hardly any electronics)
–large boutique area with the best beauty brands (Nars, Oribe, Bumble and Bumble)
–kitchen items GALORE
–great barware section
–additional furniture building
–great bachelorette, shower, etc gifts
I’m just obsessed. You could spend hours strolling through here, and you won’t leave empty handed!

If you’re looking for absolutely adorable home décor store this spot is made for you, and for me, and for every fan of such items in Houston! When I drop in here I can literally spend half a day on browsing through their merchandise! You can find here everything you need from candles to massive kitchen appliances. If you need some gift crap you’d better find another place! This shop offers more unique items!

Kuhl-​Linscomb is absolutely stunning. If you want to see at least a half of merchandise you would definitely have to spend several hours browsing through it. There is a great decision to give a map to the customers so they could easily find a necessary store, but I usually aimlessly walk through the stores on purpose to find something interesting. If you need great ideas for gifts or candles, kitchenware this place is yours!

This place is big. Very big. If you’ve never been to Kuhl-​Linscomb (KL) before, make sure to clear your schedule and pack a lunch before stepping foot in here cuz it might be a while before you leave! Find yourself going through a beautifully organized chaos filled with housewares, furniture, bed/​bath accessories, fragrances, jewelry, stationery and potential gifts for others (or yourself!) for hours. You can find tons of baby items as well as outdoor/​garden furniture, kitchen gadgets, books, and really cool knick knacks that you’ll have a hard time finding elsewhere — or at least all under the same roof. Or should I say… Roofs? KL is composed of several buildings — all categorized by the «best of the best» brands of products — from minimalistic modern to kitsch, and everything in between. This is my go-​to place for unique gifts as well as hard-​to-​find perfumes and candles. There’s a bridal section devoted to registering for some of the most beautiful China I’ve ever seen, as well as other items that I could only wish someone would buy for me ($ 5,000 Lalique or Baccarat vase anyone?). I myself have registered there for my wedding and spent hours going through the entire store scanning cool things with «the gun» while they gave me samples of espresso, margarita and wine. Be prepared to spend some of your hard-​earned money here… I certainly have!

Heaven on earth. I come here at least 3 times a week to decompress after work. Go-​to gift spot.

Kuhl-​Linscomb has really turned into an independent department store of sorts for pricy/​high-​quality-​ish/​small/​specialty lines. Does that sound new Brooklyn enough for you? Make that two steps to the left, four steps up, and ten years forward or back from Bougie. So, not stuff to accumulate and take up space in your home, but things to improve it.
The only shop (there are several houses/​shops that make up Kuhl-​Linscomb as a whole) that I dare waste my time in is the main shop. Like the Borg, it’s assimilated Cierra (the shop that used to be next door) into an extension. It’s massive. If you’re looking for a nicer than average gift for someone (you?), this is the place to head if you don’t want to waste your time. Events on W. Gray is great, but it’s a quite stuffy. It’s also a good place to head if you DO want to waste your time smelling and buying perfume, diffusers, and candles; finding the perfect Deborah Lippman shade for your nails; checking out stuff from Fishes Eddy; perusing books from Assouline; trying on the perfect pair of earrings; finding a gift for a friend’s offspring, or, or, or… What they don’t have is the Le Labo line. So if you are out of Oud 27 perfume or one of their other poisons, you’ll have to head to their website or another city.
You should also read through their card section — if you laugh, you should buy it. Their selection is almost expansive. If Sloan Hall is too Brooklyn DIY/​expensive for you, Dramatika is too far away, Events too blue blood dull, and Trader Joe’s just doesn’t have that extra high-​kick, KL should have your card. If not the card you seek, then one you need.
As far as the rest of the houses, there are ones with fine china, nice kitchenware (think Alessi and beyond), fine linen, furniture, etc. I’ve only made it into them a few times. I wind up getting KL overload before I can make it back to them.

Amazing place! Best store in Houston.
The service is outstanding.
It’s my ‘go to’ for any gift, housewares, furniture, etc…
I can’t believe the reviews saying «bad service»

It took me forever to finally go in Kuhl-​Linscomb and now I can’t figure out why! They are like a department store (housewares, furniture, makeup counter, clothes) but has such a cool vibe. I really like a place that I can buy a dish drainer and missoni socks. It does take some time to tour the whole campus, but I really enjoy seeing how they style things (think dinner table, women’s outfits, an holiday décor). If you are shopping for someone who has everything I would recommend checking this place out because of their unusual selection. I plan on going back to just to see what I can find!

Service sucks! I don’t mind the overpriced luxury retail. I get it… While the inventory is abundant… The service is nowhere to be found. After the first tour there’s really no reason to return. Like others mentioned, when businesses don’t appreciate consumers they stop coming. Third time was not a charm.

I came here for the first time today to just pickup a Baies diptyque candle. The entire home fragrance selection of candles, reed diffusers, and home scents was hypnotizing. If I didn’t love food so much I would probably just spend all of my money on candles!
I’m not really into Christmas decorations but they had some really elegant looking things if you’re into that. I perused the front of the store somewhat quickly since I was on my way to another appointment. But the sweet guy who rang me up also introduced me to a new diptyque scent, Feu de Bois, that I had never smelled before. The candle smells so festive for fall and a little woodsy. Not like a lumberjack but like luxuriously earthy. If that makes sense? Anyway, two candles in less than 5 minutes, success. I will be back soon when I can spend a little more time checking everything out.

Love this store, perfect gift finds for anyone special. They have my favorite candles and awesome gift wrapping when you need it.

I love, love, love the shop. If you’re looking for a gift for anyone — and I mean anyone — you can find some sort of high quality trinket there. Forty dollar candles, clothing, wall décor, kitchen gadgets — you’ll find it. And it’s not your typical gift shop crap; they carry an assortment of unique items you’ll actually want to keep for yourself.

Are you ready to spend four hours of your life perusing everything from candles, to Tom Ford eyewear, to tableware to furniture? If so this is your place.
Kuhl-​Linscomb is a never ending treasure trove and visual delight. Quirky, offbeat, fashion forward, simple, collected, but one thing that can never be said is well edited. Not that the sheer breadth of merchandise isn’t astounding but there’s just no way you could possibly edit it.
I’m the proprietor of Design Within Reach, and I deal with merchandise of this caliber on a daily basis but I am happy and excited when I can recommend a local business that caters to the design minded.
It’s a pleasure to recommend to clients that they stop by and take a look, and enjoy as much time as possible perusing the selection.
If you have never been you owe it to yourself to go.

Very cool place to explore. I found out about this place when I was working for a designer so I got to go in a lot and pick up things for a job or return something. For the most part I always had good customer service I think because most of the people I came in contact with knew me or who I worked for. However there were a few times I would go in and the service was not fantastic, sometimes it was really slow or no one would offer to help me when I clearly looked like a lost puppy. With that said though I’ve recently been in and I see some changes and I’ve had some great experiences there the last three times I’ve gone.
This is one of my go to places for baby gifts or something unique for a friend or family member. They have expanded the first building– they seemed to have took over where «Sierra» used to be. It’s a tad overwhelming but so much fun to explore everything. The jewelry is cool and there are some affordable pieces in there somewhere. Also there are lots of fun baby items and «texas» themes items which can be fun for those out of Towners.
The one thing that sometimes can be bothersome is the smell, it’s a little overpowering with all the candle options, but with the expansion of the building I think it has muted it some.
Anyway, I would recommend checking it out, just be sure to have plenty of time to explore all the buildings!

Best store in Houston!!! I am so thankful that I have this shop extremely close to my home. Throughout the years I have purchased the majority of my gifts here, and have them complimentary gift wrapped.
Many of my home furnishings, coffee table books, candles, kitchen serving ware, etc… were purchased at KL.
They have something for everyone from Versace China to inexpensive eclectic items.
I have purchased many gift baskets filled with the items I have found throughout the store, my new go to gift!
The staff is extremely helpful and very friendly! I would recommend Asher for makeup and skincare he is extremely knowledgable!

As you drive by on Alabama, it kind of looks like the store is in progress. Brown paper covers some of the windows and there’s nothing to entice you into coming inside. But go inside you should!
Stopped in on Saturday with the hopes of finding a dresser and bedside lamp. They had plenty of lamps, not so much furniture. What they do have is loads of decorative and useful items for your home as well as oodles of gift ideas. Upscale soaps and lotions, cookbooks, beautiful serveware, coasters, etc… I definitely saw many items under $ 50. You don’t have to be rich to shop here.
Several people asked if I needed help We were on a mission so I didn’t dawdle as long as I would have liked, but I think I’ll be back!

I LOVE all the items they carry! But customer service is BAD! I was in the linen area on a non busy Tuesday morning and there was only two people. They were fussing over a lady that was spending $ 100 and I need help custom ordering a duvet. They could have divided and helped me as well but they were all friends.
Then I found my way to the makeup area and asked to try on an eyeshadow. That was a 30 minute mistake. I asked for a day time soft everyday look. By the time I left I looked like a hooker! She didn’t clean off the tips of the eyeliners or eyeshadow or anything. Wonder if the health department would like to visit them because now I am wondering if I’ll get sick.
Hope they get it together before Christmas. They expanded but they need people there who provide customer service! Go hire some ex Chick Fil a employees!

One of the coolest shops I have ever been into in the Houston Area.
This is a $ 100K/​Yr UP kind of store… if you don’t make that much I wouldn’t expect you to be shopping for your home or anything. they do have a large import selection of soaps, bedding, bath, kitchen. you name it. They do have a shop cat which is so awesome.

The business layout is a little confusing, different buildings for different things, on a hot day it sucks, but when the weather is good I’m sure it’s awesome to walk down the street to find other parts of the business. They have a lot of eclectic items which is way cool, and not one staff member asked me for help. and with these prices you think they’d at least ask me if I need help with anything. Maybe it’s because on that day I looked like a bum but hey you never know who your customer is =)
Would I go back? Well maybe if they become a little more friendly, but yes I’d def come deck out my home here for a few things, but the things they have are a little like older lady kind of decorating style and not much modern items but the sheets and other items they have that you will NOT find anywhere else in Houston. So give it a try if your looking for home items or bedding.
