Scandinavian homeware shops in London

[poppymango]

I googled this and was surprised that I couldn’t find anything! I’m trying to find a lovely Scandi homeware place where I could buy a candlestick holder or an art print or something as a Christmas gift for a friend.

Any suggestions?

(Not Ikea obvs 😂)

Sostrene Grene are lovely shops, and there's some in London. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=09a0912ac91f154adcfe0a6d4e3403fcc1b3d96936a53ffa21acb5f658d7735cJmltdHM9MTczMzc4ODgwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=2d893548-eb46-63fa-1a7f-207eef4661c5&psq=sostrene+grene+london&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9zb3N0cmVuZWdyZW5lLmNvbS9lbi1nYi9zdG9yZXM&ntb=1

I passed one in Kings Cross last week, by Coal Drops Yard, but didn’t catch the name of it..

H&M Home has nice things and is technically scandi.

Ooh thank you! I’d love an excuse to pop back up there.

❤️

The Scandinavian Shop (in Scotland, but I order online) has lots of nice stuff.

Ferm Living, too.

Sostrene Grene is in coal drops yard @TheFlis

There's also Skandium.

Is there still a Skandium store, @AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras? I thought they closed and are online only now. The Marylebone High Street one has definitely gone. I think they had a concession at Selfridges. I’m fairly sure there is still some kind of Scandi concession there and possibly Liberty too.

Oh yes I'm talking online. Should've said! I'm nowhere near London (or anywhere, really) so I do everything online these days.

Definitely Søstrene Grene. They carry the same stock as in Denmark.

Much as I love Sostrene Grene it's still cheap and cheerful rather than designer. It's basically one step up from Flying Tiger. So if the OP is ruling out IKEA I doubt she's going to find what she's looking for in Sostrene Grene!

You would have to come to Cornwall to Alice in Scandiland in Lostwithiel !!!

Funny, I went to a newly opened branch in my town with my SIL; and she said it reminded her of Flying Tiger. It reminded me of how Habitat used to be in the 70's.

Buttiken is a small shop in Sheen SW London.

Ooh this looks great, thank you 🙂

I adore this store!

There's Totally Swedish in Barnes and Marylebone too. Mostly a food shop but some homewares, I think. Googling brought up a place called Chase and Sorensen as well in Hackney.

I haven't been here for years, and I think they are mostly for imported foodstuffs, but it's a lovely shop:

Should have said, I think they have two stores: Crawford st in Marylebone and one in Barnes

I went to the totally Swedish shop the other week as I had to sort my passport out at the embassy. A decent selection of Swedish homeware stuff like towels, trays, candles and similar

Also one in Bromley, inside the Glades shopping centre might be a bit far out for you though.

If you’re going to Marylebone, it’s probably worth going to Selfridges, Liberty and Heals as I think they all stock some Scandi brands. Sostrene Grene has a branch near Heals on Tottenham Court Road. It’s great for stylish stocking fillers - small home accessories, teas, candles, food, sweets, stationery, crafts and wooden toys, lovely but probably not the kind of thing you are looking for. Also, it’s pretty much been stripped bare the past few times I’ve been 😂 They had some lovely wrapping paper and boxes to wrap your gift though!

Nordic nest deliver pretty quick and they have the iittala tealight holders that make nice gifts

Nordic Nest is amazing. I have to limit myself to ordering once a year because I could very, very easily go totally overboard.
