Sandeep Salter is the creative mind behind two New York City staples: the sustainable homeware and clothing shop (and café!) Salter House, which she opened with her husband Carson in 2018, and Picture Room, an art shop and gallery. Before embarking on those ventures, the London-born, Brooklyn-based founder worked as an archivist and bibliographer. As her shops continue to grow and delight all who come across them, we caught up with Salter to learn more about her home, favorite finds, and what inspires her. Beyond that, we've detailed a few fun facts—from what's on her nightstand to her relatable TV obsession. Dig into the specifics below.
