North Home: A Journey of Scandinavian Style and Joy
From Humble Beginnings to a Thriving Homeware Haven
North Home's story began in a Leeds restaurant, where founder Kamil's unique crockery collection sparked the desire to share his passion for beautiful homeware with others. What started as a couple of shelves with a few plates soon transformed.
Driven by the enthusiasm of customers and Kamil's personal love of home decor and interior design, North Home ventured online in 2019, partnering with a couple of friends who had the expertise in everything online and also a belief that you can spark joy with something as simple as a coffee cup.
The pandemic presented both challenges and opportunities, as the online store became a lifeline during lockdowns.
Expanding its reach, North Home opened a pop-up shop in Leeds just in time for Christmas 2020, introducing lamps, wall art, and of course Christmas ornaments to its growing collection. At the sametime crafting an image and look that wow'd: Kamil wanted North Home to 'look the part' from the very beginning.
That 'pop-up' lasted rather longer than we had thought. What was supposed to be a 6 week thing became a key part of Victoria Gate over the course of it's 13 month tenure before moving just outside onto Vicar Lane

After being housed in some exciting spaces, North Home is now thrilled to be moving to its permanent home in the historic County Arcade. This four-story space will offer a haven for home enthusiasts, showcasing a diverse range of Scandinavian-inspired products.

At the heart of North Home lies a deep appreciation for Nordic design. Inspired by the minimalist yet warm aesthetic of Scandinavian homes, Kamil carefully selects pieces that bring joy and comfort.
