The Kips Bay Decorator Show House has always been a destination for design enthusiasts and designers alike. A wonderful opportunity to see the work of today’s design world stars as well as carefully selected up-and-coming designers poised to become tomorrow’s boldface names, a visit to a Kips Bay Show House is always a unique pleasure.  Visitors have the chance to mix and mingle with peers in the world of design,  and enjoy the wide variety of imaginative spaces that showcase each designer’s unique perspective.  The Show House experience is akin to walking through a favorite design publication, with the added benefit of doing so in the name of a good cause.  The Kips Bay Decorator Show House is a place to dream and seek inspiration, as well as an important charity event for the Boys & Girls Club.

Throughout the month-long show, visitors can expect to see the work of 24 designers and architects from across the country, including Amanda Reynal Interiors, Andrea Schumacher Interiors, Ashley Gilbreath Interior Design, Bakes and Kropp Fine Cabinetry, Bell Design, Inc., Beth Diana Smith Interior Design, Catherine M Austin Interior Design, Craig & Company, Damour Drake, Goddard Design Group, Janie Molster Designs, Jim Dove Design, Joy Street Design, Nikki Levy Interiors, Noz Design, Paloma Contreras Interior Design, Pearl Design Interiors, Peter Pennoyer Architects, Philip Gorrivan Design, Robert Brown Interior Design, Sarah Bartholomew Design, LLC., The Lewis Design Group, Tiffany Brooks Interiors, and Tish Mills Interiors.   James Druckman, President of the Board of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, notes, “The designers and architects of this year’s Show House have worked around the clock to bring their dream rooms to life. We think they have encapsulated the essence of Palm Beach perfectly, and we’re looking forward to welcoming guests in.”

To raise funds for the Boys & Girls Club, designers have kindly donated their time and efforts and work tirelessly to source products from suppliers who aim to support the cause. The show also runs on donations from generous sponsors. The sponsors for this year’s Show House include Arsin Rug Gallery, Benjamin Moore, Cosentino, Currey & Company,  Design Management Company/Lloyd Princeton, Fabricut, First Republic, Hindman, Hive Trade Showroom, Hive Home, Gift & Garden, Horse Solider Bourbon, Innova Home, JennAir, Kohler, Lilly Pulitzer, Myers Auto Group, New Moon Rugs, New York Design Center, Oka, oomph Home, Perennials and Sutherland, LLC., Phillip Jeffries, Pioneer Linens, Primestones, Related Southeast, Rose Cumming | Classic Cloth, SAVAGE Interior Design, Soane Britain, Susan’s Jewelry, The Colony Hotel, The Shade Store, Château d’Esclans, and Veranda.
