As you drive along the Schilderweg towards Oudeschild, your eye is immediately drawn to a cheerful collection of colourful sheep statues welcoming you to Texels Wonen. These iconic eye-catchers are not just a nod to the Texel landscape, but also a precursor to the unique atmosphere awaiting you inside.

Texels Wonen is located in a former ice factory in Oudeschild and offers no less than 1200 m² of home inspiration. As soon as you step inside, it feels like entering another world – a world full of character, colour, and endless wonderful finds. In the warehouse, you will discover a surprising range of home accessories, from robust candle holders to soft cushions and atmospheric lighting. What truly sets this shop apart is that many items are only available in limited quantities. The range is so diverse that you should really just wander around without a plan. There is a good chance you will suddenly fall in love with an item you didn't even know you needed.

What truly distinguishes this place is that it feels like a journey of discovery. No standard furniture that you see in every home store, but rather unique accessories in small editions. That makes every visit a surprise. And outside? You are greeted by a cheerful flock of decorative sheep, which have become just as famous as the shop itself. They are the perfect landmark and bring a smile to your face every single time.

Camping Woud
Accommodation tip

Camping Woud

Den Burg

What we like about Woud? Camping among the trees, with the forest nearby and routes towards the dunes and beach. There are pitches for tents, caravans or campervans. A lovely combination of being outdoors and exploring Texel, with attention to tranquillity and the landscape.
