The Scandi Homewares Brands You’re Seeing Everywhere (and No, They’re Not Ikea)

If your TikTok For You page is anything like mine, it’s filled with Scandinavian content creators sharing their day-to-day lives, which include peeks into their stylish homes. And if you’re anything like me, you’re constantly favouriting these videos and frantically looking up where you can buy the homewares featured.

Fortunately, though, I’ve done that research for you. Ahead, I’m sharing the Scandi homewares brands I’ve seen again and again in beautiful homes on TikTok.

Gustaf Westman

Founded by a 20-something Swedish architect-turned-designer in 2020, Gustaf Westman sells homewares, like vases, mugs and candle holders, and furniture, like tables, desks and chairs. The brand is probably best known for its chunky cups and saucers, made with glazed ceramic and in bright colours like pink, blue and red. You can buy Gustaf Westman pieces on its official site or through other international stockists.
