Do you like Scandinavian Interior Shops? Then you need to discover this family business that started in 1973 in Aarhus, Denmark, but that now ships around the world. In Søstrene Grene, everything is beautiful, well-curated, functional, and affordable.
What is a Scandinavian Interior Shop?
Søstrene Grene’s Pinterest bio says “The two sisters aspire to enrich everyday life with aesthetic designs, creativity and joy. Find inspiration among our pins and help spread the creativity.” It perfectly summarizes what they are. I would add that the options they offer are affordable.

The physical shop
The first time I visited it was in Copenhagen while visiting my brother, who was living there with his girlfriend. The moment I entered the shop, I loved everything. It’s like IKEA, with kind of a maze-like structure. I looked at everything carefully and everything was beautiful and useful. The aesthetic is gorgeous.
Sostrene Grene has shops in a few countries but only in some. I wish we had a shop in Italy, but we can order online. They currently have shops in Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
What type of products they sell
It’s a maze-like shop so you will have to see everything before existing, they offer:
- Home Decor: Furniture, decorative accessories, and textiles.
- Kitchenware: Stylish cookware, plates, bowls, glassware, and cute storage solutions.
- Stationery: Notebooks, planners, pens, pencils, watercolors, organizers, and many other things like craft materials.
- Children’s Items: You can find educational toys and cozy items for the house.
- Seasonal and Festive Products: Unique decorations, wrapping paper, ribbons, washi tapes, etc.
- Lifestyle Products: Self-care products and eco-friendly products.
- Food and Drinks: Snacks, specialty teas, and sweets.
What makes their products special?
“Sostrene Grenes” means Sisters Grenes, and they are represented by Anna and Clara. “While Anna is a creative aesthete, Clara is practical and organised. Together, the two sisters represent everything, Søstrene Grene offers.” states the official website.
What I like to shop
In a Scandinavian Interior Shop, I love to shop for Stationery items. I always get a new floral notebook or a file folder with elastic. These are small and light things I can take with me in my carry-on bag. If I found something small and cute for the kitchen, I would get it too, like those beautiful pink bowls. I also love their napkins, as they meet my requirements: small, light, beautiful, and different from the ones I find in Milan.
I stopped shopping for planners because I never use them. Creating my planners has been working for me. With my exact tasks, in my exact way and order. I’ll talk about this in some new blog post I’ll link here when it’s done.
This year, I have been making a ton of puzzles and found the most gorgeous brand in Sostrene Grene. It’s called Eeboo, and they sell it only online. The prices are high but the design and the quality are worth it. However, I always prefer to shop for second-hand items, so lately, I’ve been buying puzzles on Vinted. I start making them and once I’m done, I take a picture and sell them on Vinted. After that, I use the platform to shop for new ones. This has been working great for me, I highly recommend it! My favorite designs are Poppy Bunny and Summer Bouquet. (Both were designed by the same artist! Malin Gyllensvann).
