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.
