The Kips Bay Decorator Show House Opens in Dallas This Weekend — How to Maximize the Experience

Jaw-Dropping Design and Exclusive Perks Await

BY // 10.31.23

After months of designer reveals and dreamy renderings, the 2023 Kips Bay Dallas Show House is finally upon us. In a few short days, design lovers from near and far will explore the 8,000-square-foot Old Preston Hollow mansion, every inch of which has been uniquely transformed by 22 notable creatives. A powder room, primary closest, and pool pavilion have all been reimagined, with inspiration drawn from Marrakech, Bunny Mellon, Parisian chateaus, and even a teen girl’s bedroom from the 1980s.

There are three ways to experience the fourth annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, which opens its doors from Friday, November 3 through Wednesday, November 15.

The most exclusive option, the Opening Day Preview, offers a first look at the sprawling estate before it opens to the public, in addition to hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, a gift bag, and a general admission return ticket. Tickets are available for four sessions, with the first two receptions (12 pm – 2 pm, 2 pm – 4 pm) priced at $500 and the final two (4 – 6 pm, 6 – 8 pm) priced at $1,000.

The second option is the VIP Opening Weekend, hosted in five sessions daily from Friday, November 3 to Sunday, November 5, 2023. Priced at $150, VIP tickets include a welcome cocktail upon arrival and a Show House Journal. And with yesterday’s announcement that Smythson, the iconic Brit brand known for its luxury stationery and lavishly priced agendas, will host a pop-up during the Kips Bay Dallas Show House opening weekend, that journal may truly be worth the price of admission

Finally, a general admission ticket (priced at $50 for individuals, $45 for groups) includes a Show House Journal and an afternoon — or morning, depending on your session — of design inspiration from local and national talents such as Mark Sikes, Todd Fiscus, Kirsten Kelli, Chad James, Cathy Kincaid, and many more.
