Hornbach looks exactly like The Home Depot. OR does The Home Depot look exactly like Hornbach? Fortunately, the two have a similar layout, similar colors and even similar handwriting on signage. It was so easy to navigate. Plus the white vans(favored by construction folks everywhere) made it feel like home. MYPEOPLE! My American friend had asked me to get some additional weedwacker string for their weedwacker. I went in, described the colors of the weedwacker to the helpful staff and walked out with some universal string. Huzzah! Thank you to the garden department folks who assisted me even though my Swedish was non-existent.

Huge store for home improvement projects, with everything from tiles, tools and toilet seats to planks, shelf systems and wallpapers. They even have a «zoo» section with aquariums and pet fences. Like all other Hornbach stores, there’s a straightforward isle layout(you can still get lost) and plenty of staff to ask for help and directions. The staff knows their stuff. It’s pretty much like a Bauhaus store but somehow I like the atmosphere in Hornbach more. Unless you live nearby, this is not an easy location to get to(you’d better have a car) — but if you’re shopping for home improvement projects then what the hell are you doing on public transport anyway?! I’ll come back.
