Discover more about Stenhuset Rømø
A cosy stone house by the Wadden Sea
Stenhuset Rømø sits in Havneby, a short distance from the windswept shores and tidal flats that define the island. The name literally means “the stone house”, and the building embraces that description with thick walls, a sturdy, weathered exterior and a quietly welcoming entrance that feels perfectly suited to Rømø’s often brisk coastal climate. Stepping through the door, you move from the wide, salt-scented seascape into a snug, human-scale space that feels like a cross between a Nordic cottage and a well-curated design shop. The shop’s layout encourages lingering rather than rushing. Displays are arranged in small islands of colour and texture rather than long, uniform racks. Light filters in from the windows, catching on woollen patterns and glass jars, and the soundscape shifts from wind and gulls outside to the soft murmur of conversation and the gentle creak of wooden floors inside.Nordic knitwear made for island weather
Stenhuset is best known for its selection of Norwegian and Icelandic wool sweaters, the kind of knitwear that has become almost iconic across the North Atlantic. Traditional patterns, yokes and colour combinations line the walls, with both classic muted tones and more contemporary designs on offer. The sweaters are substantial without feeling heavy, made to keep you warm on the dikes, beaches and cycling paths that criss-cross Rømø. Beyond jumpers, you will find thick wool socks perfect for rubber boots or winter shoes, as well as soft plaid throws woven from Scandinavian wool, merino and alpaca. These range from simple, understated designs to bold checks and stripes, inviting you to imagine them over a sofa, at the end of a bed or wrapped around your shoulders during a cool evening on the terrace of a holiday cottage.Scents of soap, skin care and quiet indulgence
A distinctive corner of Stenhuset is dedicated to soaps and care products from a Danish workshop that focuses on handmade items. Bars of soap are stacked like small bricks, their colours hinting at their ingredients, while bottles of oils and creams are grouped by fragrance family. Many are made with a high proportion of organic raw materials, natural scents and vegetable oils, bringing a gentle, clean aroma to the air. Gift sets are thoughtfully composed, making it easy to choose a present for someone back home or a small indulgence for yourself. The products reflect a broader Danish appreciation for everyday rituals: a good hand soap by the sink, a carefully chosen body oil, or a calming bath product that turns a simple evening into a moment of self-care.Design touches and homely details
Alongside textiles and toiletries, Stenhuset carries a changing assortment of home décor, gift items and candles. Shelves may hold ceramic cups, lanterns, small decorative pieces and seasonal ornaments, many with a distinctly Scandinavian aesthetic: clean lines, natural materials and a focus on function as well as beauty. Candles, in particular, play a prominent role. From simple taper candles to chunky, scented ones, they echo the Danish tradition of creating hygge through soft, flickering light. Visitors stocking a holiday home on the island often find everything they need here to make evenings more atmospheric: a new throw, a handful of candles and perhaps a small decorative object that captures the feel of the Wadden Sea landscape.A welcome pause in a day of island exploring
Because of its location in Havneby, Stenhuset naturally fits into a day that might also include beach walks, birdwatching on the mudflats or a visit to local cafés. It works as a practical stop for extra layers when the weather changes, but also as a place to slow down, browse and warm up after time in the wind. Families can explore different corners at their own pace, with plenty of tactile items for children to touch and examine. The atmosphere is unhurried and personal, typical of a small, locally rooted business. Visiting Stenhuset adds another layer to the Rømø experience: not just the big skies and wide sands, but the textures, colours and scents that define indoor life on a Danish North Sea island.Taking a piece of Rømø home
Many of the things you find in Stenhuset are the kind that live on for years: a favourite sweater, a well-loved blanket, a soap whose scent reminds you of a particular holiday. The emphasis on natural materials and long-lasting quality mirrors the slow rhythms of the surrounding landscape, where tides come and go and the light changes across the mudflats but the essential character remains. Whether you are equipping yourself for more days in the coastal air or searching for a thoughtful gift, Stenhuset offers a tangible way to continue the feeling of Rømø long after you have left the island.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
