The Kips Bay Showhouse isn’t just about stunning interiors—it’s a design institution.
Founded in 1973 in Manhattan to support the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, the event has expanded to Palm Beach, bringing the same level of excellence and creativity while benefiting a meaningful cause.
The selected homes, always architecturally significant and for sale, are often restored to their original grandeur—unless, of course, a buyer falls in love with the designer transformations and opts to keep them as is.
This year’s showhouse was a perfect example of why great design is timeless—bold choices, layered details, and an effortless mix of old and new. Seeing how each designer balanced statement elements with livable charm was inspiring, and a reminder that interiors should always feel personal, inviting, and full of personality.
