Christmas Decorations
With just over three weeks until Christmas, now is the time to transform the home into a festive winter wonderland, and what better way than with Christmas decorations, ornaments and much more.

Notre Dame
Nørregade 7 was originally an inn, but in 1908 the property was rebuilt to house Copenhagen’s first car dealership. Since then the space has been transformed into what is now known as Notre Dame, a modern Scandinavian homewares store. Here it is easy to find gorgeous and yet affordable Danish-inspired Christmas decorations and ornaments. With a beautiful window display that is constantly changing, this is the place to find something to suit every Christmas theme. Be sure to keep an eye out for their extensive range of wreaths and Santa Claus figurines.
