Twenty-Two Rooms, One Address: Kips Bay's Show House Returns to New York

· 1 min read

The Kips Bay Decorator Show House opens for its 2026 edition in New York, gathering twenty-two designers under one roof to each reimagine a space within the historic residence. This year's presentation adds a curatorial layer beyond furniture and finishes: an art program organized by Gay Gassmann runs alongside the designers' rooms. The show house has long served as a proving ground where decorators test full-scale ideas in real rooms rather than vignettes, and this edition continues that format with its full roster on view together. For New Yorkers who follow design as closely as they follow the auction houses, it is a rare chance to see two dozen distinct sensibilities under a single address.
