Discover more about Notre Dame
A Copenhagen Design Classic on Nørregade
Notre Dame occupies a handsome old building on Nørregade in the very heart of Copenhagen’s historic Indre By, directly facing the Church of Our Lady. Established in 1978, it was one of the first concept-style interior shops of its kind in Denmark, long before Scandinavian design became an international buzzword. Stepping through the door feels more like entering a long-established neighborhood institution than a typical store. Inside, wooden floors, slightly uneven and full of character, lead you through a series of intimate rooms and alcoves. Low ceilings and old window frames frame views of the cathedral across the street, anchoring the space firmly in the city’s past while the shelves showcase contemporary Nordic living. The atmosphere is warm and informal, more like a friendly treasure trove than a polished showroom.Colorful Nordic Living Room in Shop Form
Notre Dame’s focus is everyday interior objects with personality: tableware and glass, cheerful kitchen utensils, dishcloths and tea towels, baskets, office storage, lamps, mirrors, and decorative pieces for every corner of the home. Textiles in soft cottons and wools sit stacked beside patterned cushions and throws, while shelves of candles and candleholders hint at Denmark’s obsession with hygge. Rather than a minimalist white cube, the aesthetic is warm, layered and delightfully colorful. You might find enamel mugs in ice-cream shades beside handwoven bathmats, or glazed stoneware plates next to woven baskets and handmade brushes. Prices range from small, affordable items that slip easily into a suitcase to more substantial pieces that can redefine a living room.In-House Designs and Long-Term Collaborations
Beyond curated brands, Notre Dame also develops its own line of products, from simple storage solutions and textiles to decorative accessories designed with everyday use in mind. Many pieces are created to be robust, easy to mix and match, and to age well in busy homes, reflecting a practical Danish approach to design. Over the decades, the shop has formed enduring collaborations with Scandinavian makers and labels, some partnerships lasting more than 25 years. This long view is visible on the shelves: certain classic items reappear season after season, while new designs echo the same warm, unpretentious spirit. It gives the assortment a sense of continuity, as if the store itself has a recognizable handwriting.Seasonal Magic and Gift Hunting
Notre Dame is especially atmospheric around the changing seasons. In spring, light textiles and garden accessories begin to dominate; in late autumn, the rooms fill with strings of lights, candleholders, ornaments and wrapping supplies that make it a natural stop for holiday gift hunting. The narrow aisles and tables piled high with small objects invite slow browsing and impulse discoveries. Thoughtful presentation makes it easy to imagine how pieces might look at home. Place settings are laid out on old tables, bathroom accessories grouped together, and window displays change frequently, drawing inspiration from current trends without feeling overly styled. It is the kind of place where you come for one item and leave with several small, carefully chosen extras.A Relaxed Pause in the Historic Inner City
Located a short walk from the pedestrian shopping street Strøget and Nørreport station, Notre Dame fits naturally into a wider wander through central Copenhagen. From its doorway, you can hear the bells of the cathedral and watch cyclists stream along Nørregade, while inside the mood is slower and more contemplative. Many visitors treat the shop as a gentle pause between museums and landmarks, taking time to touch fabrics, compare colors and pick up a souvenir that will actually be used back home. With its blend of everyday practicality and playful detail, Notre Dame offers a very local window into how Copenhagen residents like to live: comfortable, colorful and quietly well designed.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
