The Globally-Sourced Interior Design Brand Opened Its Second Brick and Mortar Shop; Home to Handmade Artisan Décor, Rugs, Furniture and More on Charleston’s Iconic King Street
CHARLESTON, S.C., Oct. 9, 2020 – Today House of Nomad, based out of Charlotte, N.C., is announcing the opening of its second shop on Charleston’s iconic King Street. The storefront will be home to a mix of new and vintage home décor pieces hand-picked by owner’s Kelley Lentini and Berkeley Minkhorst, who work directly with a close group of global artisans from Mexico, Bali, Turkey, Africa and more.
“Kelley and I both have a deep affection for Charleston; from spending summers as a kid at the beach nearby to celebrating marriage,” said Berkeley Minkhorst, co-owner of House of Nomad. “It’s been a dream to now set roots for House of Nomad here and bring our favorite treasures from around the world to King Street.”
House of Nomad Charleston will be a design moment in itself with a Moroccan-inspired archway adorning the center of the store. Through the archway, guests will find a build-your-own basket wall workshop, furniture and an entire wall dedicated Turkish and Moroccan rugs.
“Opening the House of Nomad shop is only our first step into the Holy City,” said Kelley Lentini, co-owner of House of Nomad. “Come 2021, we’ll be launching our full interior design services, like in Charlotte, where we’ll have the capacity to design everything from newly built homes to hotels.”

About House of Nomad
House of Nomad was founded on the idea that travel fosters so many amazing things – inspiration, creativity, relationships, experiences. On the design side, House of Nomad is always thinking in the mindset of the inspired traveler while maintaining the client’s personal touch – mixing old pieces and family heirloom pieces, with newer pieces, eclectic patterns, textures, and color. On the shop side, House of Nomad is still thinking in the mindset of the inspired traveler with an emphasis on telling the stories of the cultures they source from. When they are choosing the countries they travel to for shop sourcing, it’s all based on a personal connection or yearning that they have to know more about a particular culture or place. They then hope that their customers feel that connection to those cultures and artisans, too.
About the Owners
It’s serendipitous that two native North Carolinians, both with a desire to travel to every corner of the world, would meet and form both a business and a friendship after many years of crossing paths and traveling to the same places. From the moment their studio opened in 2017, the duo quickly became the go-to source for clients looking for eclectic, contemporary style- not to mention, Kelley and Berkeley’s travel-oriented design method. With each trip together, they would cart back with them new textiles, baskets, pillows, throws and other finds unique to the various cultures and villages they visited. In 2019, they expanded their love of bringing their travel finds into people’s homes with the opening of the flagship House of Nomad shop in Charlotte, NC. In October 2020, they are expanding with a new storefront in Charleston, SC.
