Design Distillery
Interior Designer
When Karen Graveline moved to Baltimore, she and her husband fell for the charms of rowhouse living. With a degree in interior design, Karen was excited to furnish their 12-foot wide brick home. Challenged by finding stylish furniture that fit small spaces, her passion for modern design led her to a set of vintage Danish dining chairs in Chicago listed on Ebay. The hunt for mid-century modern furnishings became an obsession. To share her finds with other urban dwellers, Karen founded Home on the Harbor.
The store has grown from a small vintage storefront on Charles Street in Federal Hill to a stellar, modern showroom featuring hand-picked items from designers around the world. In 2010, the store relocated to a turn-of-the-century factory building just south of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. In 2016, it was renamed Design Distillery where the shop remains a popular furniture shopping destination offering a curated selection of unique items and personalized interior design services.

Great shop for furniture and great staff and customer service! Some of our furnitures were delayed for a while since they are made to order. We hosted a party but they had something they let us borrow day of, to make up for the delay! You can't get with an online store!!

Where's this place been hiding all my life? The fella in the stores said they've been open for seven years, oops! I should've been all over this when I moved into college.
