Set Decorators
Expert set decorators bringing Icelandic interiors to life—from turf-house heritage to contemporary Scandinavian minimalism.
A set decorator selects and arranges the furnishings, artwork, drapery, and decorative details that bring a production designer's vision to life on screen. In Iceland, this means working within a unique design context shaped by Viking heritage, Nordic minimalism, and the dramatic natural landscape—from the restored turf houses of Skógafoss to the clean-lined contemporary interiors of Reykjavik's design-forward apartments and the geothermal-heated homes of the countryside.
We connect you with Icelandic set decorators who know where to source locally—from Reykjavik's Kolaportið flea market and specialist Nordic furniture dealers to prop resources at Saga Studios and regional vintage shops in Akureyri. Given Iceland's smaller market, our decorators are resourceful at combining local sourcing with imports and custom fabrication to achieve any look.
