Local tips
- Plan at least 30–45 minutes to wander the full one-way layout; many of the best finds are in small crates and table displays you only notice when browsing slowly.
- Look out for seasonal sections near the entrance; around holidays and changing seasons, limited collections of décor, gift wrap and crafts appear and sell out quickly.
- If you are travelling, focus on lightweight items such as stationery, textiles and small décor pieces, which pack more easily than glassware or bulkier furniture.
- Visit on weekday mornings to enjoy the calm atmosphere with fewer people around, making it easier to navigate the aisles and study the displays in detail.
- Keep an eye on the craft and hobby area for simple DIY kits; they make great last-minute gifts and are ideal for keeping children entertained on trips.

A cosy Scandinavian nest in central Viborg
Step into Søstrene Grene on Sankt Mathias Gade and you leave the bustle of the shopping centre for a softer, more intimate world. Low, warm lighting, wooden crates and narrow aisles lined with small discoveries create the feeling of a modern bazaar with a distinctly Nordic calm. The store sits within Sct. Mathias Centret, but its muted palette, gentle background music and distinctive typography give it a personality all of its own. The concept is built around small pleasures rather than big-ticket items. Instead of towering racks, you wander past table-height displays and cosy corners, each curated around a theme: a dining table dressed for guests, a tiny workspace, or a craft station ready for an afternoon project. It is easy to lose track of time as you drift from one inspiration “island” to the next.Home décor, tableware and little furniture ideas
Much of the floor space is dedicated to home accessories, with shelves of baskets, storage boxes, candles and textiles that echo a soft, Scandinavian aesthetic. You might find neutral-toned cushions alongside patterned throws, bamboo organisers next to tinted glass vases, or seasonal table decorations that make it simple to refresh a room without a full makeover. There is usually a compact selection of small furniture and accessories such as side tables, stools, wall shelves and picture frames. These pieces are designed to be mixed and matched, allowing you to put together a reading nook or update a hallway with just a few items. The emphasis is on light materials, clean lines and a handmade feel that suits both modern apartments and older Danish homes.Creative playground for hobbyists and families
One of the liveliest corners of the store is the hobby and DIY section. Here you will find coloured papers, paints, brushes, beads, yarn, ribbons and tools for everything from scrapbooking and card-making to simple home crafts. It is an easy place to plan a rainy-day project, a children’s birthday activity or seasonal decorations without spending a fortune. Families are also drawn to the mix of toys and creative kits, from wooden puzzles and simple games to drawing sets and small musical instruments. Many items are designed to be handled and explored, encouraging imaginative play rather than electronics. For travellers, these compact finds can be a welcome distraction for long journeys or thoughtful gifts to take home.Stationery, office supplies and everyday practicalities
Near the centre of the shop, the stationery section feels like a candy store for notebook lovers. There are diaries, planners, bullet journals and sketchbooks in varying sizes, along with pens, markers and desk accessories that brighten up a workspace. The style leans towards clean, graphic patterns and gentle colours, making it easy to assemble a coordinated office setup. Alongside the stationery you will usually find kitchen and picnic-friendly items such as storage jars, reusable lunch boxes, baking utensils and tea towels. These practical pieces sit comfortably next to decorative items, reinforcing the idea that everyday objects can be both useful and quietly beautiful.Browsing rhythm, seasons and in-store atmosphere
The layout encourages a one-way flow that nudges you past every section, but the aisles are open enough that you can double back to something that caught your eye. Soft instrumental music and the gentle murmur of shoppers create a relaxed atmosphere rather than a rushed, transactional one. It feels natural to stroll, pick up an object, imagine it in your home and then either pop it in the basket or move on. Throughout the year, seasonal displays play a big role. In winter you might wander through a forest of candles, ornaments and gift-wrapping supplies, while spring brings lighter textiles, gardening-themed décor and pastel-coloured craft materials. Even a quick visit can provide inspiration for your own home styling, party planning or creative projects, whether you are a local in Viborg or simply passing through the city centre.Part of a broader Scandinavian design story
This Viborg branch is part of a Danish-founded chain, and it carries the brand’s signature focus on affordable, design-led everyday items. The name, which means “the Grene sisters”, reflects the storytelling that runs through the concept: a gentle, old-fashioned idea of two sisters curating beautiful things for the home. That narrative is subtle but present in the fonts, colours and product descriptions you see around the store. For design-minded travellers, a stop here offers a glimpse into contemporary Danish taste beyond high-end showrooms. The prices stay within a comfortable range, encouraging experimentation rather than big commitments, and the constantly changing assortment means there is usually something new to discover. Whether you leave with a single notebook or a bag of carefully chosen pieces, the experience itself is part of Viborg’s everyday charm.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
