13 Clever Details I Saw at the 2026 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Dallas

Check out the first ever home gym in Kips Bay Show House history.

By

The seventh annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Dallas returns to 2999 Turtle Creek Boulevard, but don’t expect it to look anything like it did in 2025. A new group of the country’s leading designers has taken on the 25,000-square-foot French Renaissance estate, transforming each room to showcase bold ideas, highlight exceptional craftsmanship, and reveal the upcoming trends we can expect to see in the world of interior design.

Visit the show house and see each of the 22 designers’ rooms, from the first dedicated home gym in Kips Bay history by Dallas-based Platinum Gym Design, to a small but mighty European-inspired kitchen by Stephenson Home, to a 1970s-inspired primary bathroom fit with a glass brick shower and curtained-off water closet by Nuance Interiors. With sponsors like Benjamin Moore, The Shade Store, The Rug Company, and more, the vibrant and personality-filled spaces come as no surprise.

As always, proceeds from the show house go to the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, which provides educational, enrichment, and developmental programs to thousands of young people, as well as Dallas-based nonprofits Dwell with Dignity and The Crystal Charity Ball.

To see this celebration of exceptional design, you can purchase tickets here and visit the house from Saturday, November 14th to Sunday, December 6th. However, if you can’t make it to the Lone Star State in time, check out some of our favorite moments from the event below.

In the primary bedroom, Troy Rivington of Rivington Marx Interiors cocooned the room in a dark floral wallpaper and accessorized with other moody botanicals throughout. He was inspired by the romance of 1940s Cairo, dressing the room up like it belonged to a well-traveled collector.

As the first ever dedicated home gym at the Kips Bay Show House, Peter Hoffman of Platinum Gym Design chose a refined, luxurious setup.

Sari Silk Lampshades

The citron paint color wrapping the walls in Jen Bienvenu’s entrance hall is undoubtedly enchanting and serves as the perfect backdrop for her “After the Hunt” theme, but it’s the lampshades made from old silk saris that tie everything together for us. They provide such a magical warmth and really capture the essence of a collector’s treasure room.

In the Withdrawing Room by Jen Stevens of Fonde Interiors, plaster botanicals by artist Amanda Norman come to life as they crawl from the mantel along the chimney breast, escaping to the ceiling. The vines were handmade by Norman and capture the essence of a garden left undisturbed, showing that this formal-at-first-glance room has a wilder side.
