Uppsala is one of the top cities in the country for those looking to refresh their home, build a deck, or spruce up their garden. Thanks to the strategic clustering of nearly all market-leading construction and interior giants in the Boländerna and Gränbystaden shopping areas, you can easily emphasize quality and streamline your shopping journey. This comprehensive guide for 2026 takes you directly to the city’s 15 absolute best stores for plants, outdoor furniture, and smart outdoor lighting.
Boländerna: The ultimate cluster for furniture and affordable essentials
If your priority is to quickly compare lounge sets, cushion boxes, and durable rugs in a limited time, Boländerna is your absolute best first choice. Here, you can park your car in the large lot at IKEA and walk directly between the major players. At IKEA, you’ll find a vast selection of flexible outdoor furniture and atmospheric lighting, while neighboring Jysk and Rusta offer the market’s most affordable sofa sets and robust polypropylene rugs that withstand both rain and sunshine.
Bauhaus and Hornbach: Machinery, electrical materials, and heavy garden projects
When it’s time to move from interior details to focus on fixed installations—such as circuit breakers, approved IP44 outdoor sockets, or stable edging steel for flower beds—a deeper range is required. The gigantic Bauhaus store in Boländerna offers outstanding expert advice and a complete electrical range. Planning a larger project with gravel, decorative stone, or paving for a garden of, say, 30 m², you’ll find the broadest selection in bulk at Hornbach up in Gränbystaden.
Green oases: Quality plants and expertise for your cultivation
Creating a lively, lush, and harmonious outdoor environment requires healthy plants, hardy perennials, and tailored nutrients. At the regional expert Plantagen in Boländerna, you’ll find a fantastic selection of standard ornamental trees and sturdy outdoor pots in frost-resistant materials. If you’re seeking personal advice, specific seeds, or want to plan the greenery for a smaller townhouse garden or balcony, Blomsterlandet in Gränby offers a personal environment with high-quality plant materials.
Professional soil, battery-powered machines, and hidden budget finds
For heavy maintenance work, you need the right fuel for the soil and solid tools. At the venerable Granngården, you can load your car with professional grower’s soil and tailored fertilizer to give your flower beds the best possible start. If you’re on the hunt for cordless garden machines, Jula has its popular and affordable battery system, while Clas Ohlson in Gränbystaden are experts in smart home solutions where you can time-control your outdoor lighting directly via your mobile.
How to best structure your shopping day in the city
- Stage 1 (The big furniture and rug round): Start in Boländerna. Sweep through Rusta, Jysk, Jula, and Biltema. Be sure to check out the polypropylene rugs at Rusta first—they’re perfect for laying directly on wooden decking as they don’t absorb moisture or mold.
- Stage 2 (Construction and fixed installation): Continue to Bauhaus on Stångjärnsgatan to buy cables, sockets, and edging steel.
- Stage 3 (Stone and greenery): End the day in Gränbystaden. Pick up heavy bags of decorative stone at Hornbach’s drive-in and round off with fresh quality plants from Blomsterlandet so they don’t have to sit in a hot car unnecessarily.
