My husband and I had been roaming Kristiansand to find some Christmas decorations we could take…read morehome, and this place had the right stuff! Like much of Norway's decor, most of the things inside No 1 were elegant, beautiful, and mostly white. There were many fine and pretty things, which are always fun for me to look at. There were figurines, candles and candle holders, ornaments, pillows, and other such things. The staff didn't bother us while we were looking around (which is something I appreciate universally), but once we came to the counter, the lady there was friendly, all smiles, and (thankfully) conversed with us in English. She asked if the piece we purchased was a gift, no it wasn't, and she had it boxed up for us so we could transport it home in our suitcase. She also asked if I'd like to have a free Kristiansand magazine, just to look at, which was a friendly gesture.
If you're looking for some Norway-inspired decorations for your home, I'd highly recommend checking out this class place! It's just a block off the main street (Markens), if I remember correctly.
