The Kips Bay Decorator Show House: May 7 – June 4

Every year, celebrated interior designers transform a luxury Manhattan home into an elegant exhibition of fine furnishings, art, and technology at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House benefitting Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club.

Over the course of four decades, this project has raised in excess of $17 million and grown into a “must destination” for thousands of design enthusiasts and is recognized for launching interior design trends throughout the world.
