Our Story

Welcome to The Home Market.  Established in 2006 by Kate Kazlo, The Home Market is Milwaukee’s destination for home furnishings and curated home goods.

Originally located in the Historic Third Ward, in Fall of 2022 The Home Market transformed an industrial warehouse into a new space to collaborate our collection of home accents and Kate Kazlo Interiors.

The Home Market specializes in custom furniture, unique home accents, one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, bedding, lighting, tabletop, and gifts. Our merchandise is hand-picked by Kate and reflects her design aesthetic.
