Homeware

This list is seriously outdated. See Stockholm Design Week's guide for the latest curated list of furniture stores, from budget to luxury.


If you want to minimize your expenditures on homeware, visit IKEA. For DIY stuff (screw drivers, nails, duct tape, scissors, gloves, and the like) and anything you can't find anywhere else (such as a clothes drying rack and an electric heater), visit Clas Ohlson.

However, you are now living in the capital of design-conscious Scandinavia. If you are just satisfied with IKEA, you are not enjoying Stockholm at all. Swedes are obsessed with homeware of good design. And decorating your home is essential during the long and cold winter in Stockholm when you don't want to go outside. As a result, Stockholm is full of homeware shops with good taste. That's one of the best things Stockholm offers.

Floor T (the same level as T-Centralen station) of Åhlens City, the basement floor of NK, and Plan 2 of PUB are great one-stop shopping zones for homeware. But there's a lot, lot more in Stockholm.

Below I list homeware shops by area (first by T-bana station and then by street). It's hard to classify them by items because you never know which store sells which beforehand: stores in Stockholm pick what they sell not by functions but by design.

Note that many of these shops are open for limited hours over the weekend. All shops are open for 11-18 on weekdays (some are open for 10-19, but no longer than that) and 12-16 on Saturdays (some are for open 10-18 but no longer than that). Quite a few are closed on Sundays (some are open for 12-16).

For those visiting Stockholm with interest in Swedish design, check out those with "recommended".
