Today marks the grand opening of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, a spectacular annual event that unites top-tier interior designers from across the nation. Situated at 2999 Turtle Creek Boulevard, this year’s venue is a landmark within Dallas’s exclusive Turtle Creek neighborhood, blending French Renaissance architecture with contemporary Dallas flair. Running through mid-November, this three-week design showcase is not only a visual feast but also a powerful fundraiser for the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, which supports educational programs for young people and two Dallas charities, Dwell with Dignity and The Crystal Charity Ball.

A Brief History of Kips Bay Decorator Show House

The Kips Bay Decorator Show House first debuted in New York in 1973, quickly becoming a premier design event and establishing a tradition of excellence in interior design. In 2020, the Show House expanded to Dallas, where it has since become an annual highlight in the Southern design calendar. Each year, top interior designers transform an opulent home, creating individual spaces that celebrate cutting-edge design, artful aesthetics, and the charitable spirit of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, which has raised over $30 million to date.

The Setting: 2999 Turtle Creek Boulevard

This year’s Show House occupies a historic property at 2999 Turtle Creek Boulevard, a building originally intended to be Dallas’s first Mandarin Oriental hotel. The two-story, 25,000-square-foot office building sits on 2.3 acres of undeveloped land and includes a sprawling 60,000-square-foot below-ground parking garage. Its ideal location between the iconic Rosewood Mansion and the planned Four Seasons Hotel & Residences encapsulates the essence of luxury Dallas living. The French-Renaissance architectural style of the Turtle Creek neighborhood provides a harmonious backdrop, allowing each designer to highlight their unique take on Southern charm with an elevated twist.
