When Kamil opened his restaurant in Leeds, he wanted every detail to feel considered, the food, the atmosphere, and especially the tableware. He began sourcing beautiful crockery: simple, tactile, honest pieces that felt at home on a laid table. Guests would ask where the plates came from. Friends would admire the bowls. And slowly, a collection grew into something more than a restaurant's back-of-house secret.

That collection became North Home.

In 2019, North Home launched as an online store. A curated edit of Nordic-inspired homeware for people who believe that everyday objects should be beautiful. The response was immediate and warm. Customers across the UK discovered what Kamil had always known: that the right bowl, the right candle, the right piece of ceramics can quietly transform a home.

Then came 2020. Like so many small businesses, North Home faced the uncertainty of the pandemic. But rather than pause, we pivoted, leaning into our online presence and connecting with customers who were, for the first time in a long time, paying close attention to their homes. It turned out that people were ready to invest in the spaces they lived in. We were ready to help them do it.

Finding a Home in Leeds

Our first physical presence came through a pop-up at Victoria Gate, Leeds, and the response told us everything we needed to know. People wanted to touch the pieces, hold them, feel the weight of a handmade mug or run a finger along the glaze of a ceramic vase. The tactile experience of homeware is something no photograph can fully capture.

From there, we grew into a four-floor store on Vicar Lane, in Leeds' Victoria Quarter — if you've read about North Home in the Yorkshire press over the years, this is likely the store you remember. We loved that space and the years we spent building it up, but as the business grew we made the decision to bring everything back under one roof.

Today, that roof is our showroom near Leeds, in Batley — just a few miles out, and an easy trip by car or train. Step inside and you'll find a carefully arranged space where every shelf tells a story, where Scandinavian simplicity meets British craft, and where you're always welcome to browse without pressure, ask questions, and discover something you didn't know you needed.

We'd love to see you there — it's a quick trip out from Leeds, with free parking on-site.

What We Believe In

North Home is built on a simple idea: good design should be part of everyday life.

We're drawn to the Scandinavian tradition of hygge, the art of creating warmth, comfort, and connection through the objects and spaces around us. Every piece we stock is chosen because it earns its place: functional, beautiful, and made to last.

We work with independent makers and artisans, including our ongoing partnership with ceramicist Lee Simmons, whose handmade pieces have become some of our most loved. We believe in supporting the people behind the products: the potters, the weavers, the small-batch producers who put genuine care into every piece they make.

You won't find fast homeware here. You'll find things worth keeping.

Every product in our collection is chosen by hand. We ask a few simple questions before anything makes it onto our shelves:

• Is it beautifully made?
• Will it improve with use?
• Does it feel honest in its materials, its origins, its purpose?
• Would we want it in our own home?

Our range spans ceramics, glassware, textiles, candles, and kitchen accessories, all united by a quiet confidence in Scandinavian design principles: clean lines, natural materials, and a respect for craft. Whether you're looking for a statement piece or something to use every single day, we've chosen it with care.

We also ship across the UK and Europe, so wherever you are, North Home is never far away.

Whether you're starting from scratch or adding to a collection you love, we're here to help you find pieces that feel like home.
