Limited time in this stylish Icelandic capital? Tackle a design journey with our curated list of where to buy or just be inspired…

This year was peppered with a few marvellous adventures, and we realized we really hadn’t shared the love for the design journeys we experienced.

Early this year, Iceland took our breath away. From the intriguing natural landscapes with a desolate lunar-surface appeal, to the most incredible palette of homes in the capital, this place ticks a lot of inspirational design boxes.

We love following a design guide as much as we love making one, but there wasn’t one on Reykjavik that quite met the Social Nesting criteria. On top of the most glorious of bakeries (Braud & Co) and coffee, Reykjavik held a handful of brilliant design shops that are easily doable in a day and all of these are Social Nesting loved and approved.

Scintilla – Laugavegi 40, 101 Reykjavík

Never have we fallen so hard for the unexpected palette of pinks, yellows, mints and blacks. This design studio applies their unique aesthetic to fabulous textiles and art for instant pop-at-home appeal.

Geysir Heima – Skólavörðustígur 12, 101 Reykjavík


Part of the grander family of department stores, the standalone home store from the Geysir chain packs original and quirky design choices with covetable staples. Divine.

Magnolia – Design – Skólavörðustíg 38, 101 Reykjavík


Super-chic and packed with decadent touches in muted tones, it will be hard to leave without buying.

Mun – Barónsstígur 27, 101 Reykjavík

We defy you not to snap a selfie in the oversized teardrop mirrors or be dazzled by the original works of design and inner-child-appealing bedding and textiles.

MYCONCEPTSTORE – 45 Laugavegur, 101 Reykjavík


From the place to pick up your Crosley turntable or bottle of Molecule 1 to some lesser know but covetable brands of homeware and beauty products, enter this cave of cool for a wander that will leave you wanting.

Kaolin Keramik Galleri – Skólavörðustígur 5, 101 Reykjavík


We are super-suckers for ceramics, and Kaolin was a candyland for us. Stocked with the works of a handful of Icelandic ceramicists this place offers every style from cheery to beyond-chic.

And just like that, after one last glorious weekend, the weather in our neck of the woods has taken a timely autumnal turn, and all we want to do is get cozy by shopping for autumn style essentials. Come with us…

While actually an oversized scarf, this will take pride-of-(cozy)-place on the sofa at Social Nesting HQ. Between the colours, pattern and softness, it’s too good to be merely confined to the neck…
