If you are a design enthusiast, then you already know that the 2018 Kips Bay Decorators Showhouse opened last week in New York City.  The anticipated Showhouse is the most prominent showhouse in the country, attracting 15,000 visitors every year.  The showhouse runs for the entire month of May closing its door on May 30th.  Lucky for me my niece is graduating on May 30th precisely so I’ll be in New York City during that week and for sure I’ll be absorbing and admiring all these rooms in person.  This year the Showhouse is located at 110 East 76th Street, inside a spacious townhouse at walking distance from the best museums New York has to offer.

Every year established and newer designers get to present their most daring creations that represent their perspective as much as their style.  This time is no different, the creativity on display ranges from traditional to avant-garde design with more than one thing in common, color, a more is more approach, and daring design.  Although the subject in focus is design the good cause behind the Showhouse is what’s most important.  The Showhouse raises funds for afterschool and enrichment programs for New York City children.  I only included the main rooms otherwise this post would have no end.  To see the rest of the rooms visit Architectural Digest.
