Design Detour: House of Nomad

From the graphic patterns to the textured layers to the ubiquitous tropical plants, a room designed by House of Nomad hums with an unmistakable energy. The firm’s modern global aesthetic, honed on buying trips to Thailand, Mexico, Bali and Africa, is perfectly at home in buzzy Charlotte, a business and travel hub that just keeps growing.

Across a portfolio of eclectic projects, designers Kelley Lentini and Berkeley Minkhorst create spaces that celebrate both their love of home and love of travel — an ode to wanderlust and the great indoors.

RSVP

"We had the best time designing and sourcing for El Thrifty Social, a Mexican Cantina at Optimist Hall. We would love to catch up there over a margarita with some Charlotte business owners and designers we greatly admire — Filipe Ho & Bradley Rhyne of OMJ Clothing, Megan Orrell of Shop Boem, Jacquelyn & Elizabeth from Twine & Twig, Natalie Papier, Lisa Sherry and Barrie Benson, to name a few.”

TRY THIS

“We’ve been working hard on our own wallpaper and textile line, which launches this summer. The patterns are appropriately named after our love for travel: Jetlag, Checked Out and Round Trip. Our anchor pattern, Jetlag, will come in four colorways — I love the black and white!”

BRIGHT IDEA

“We love to use bedside sconces in conjunction with table lamps. Smaller task lights are great for reading and much less disruptive -- plus, they’re pretty!”
