Kips Bay Dallas 2021

For 47 years, Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club has celebrated the best of interior design by transforming a luxury Manhattan home into an elegant exhibition of fine furnishings, art, and technology. This all began in 1973 when several dedicated supporters of Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club launched the Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Manhattan to raise critical funds for much needed after school and enrichment programs for New York City children. For more than four decades, the Show House has been a must-see event for thousands of design enthusiasts, renowned for sparking interior design trends throughout the world.

In 2017, Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club expanded the brand to Palm Beach, with the fourth iteration of the Kips Bay Palm Beach Decorator Show House taking place in April 2021.

The tremendous success generated by the Palm Beach Show House had Kips Bay once again expand their market, launching the Inaugural and extremely successful Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Dallas, Texas in the fall of 2020.

The Heimat

Inspired by ideas of travel, retreat, and an understated, luxurious environment that’s simultaneously familiar and full of interest, Burkle Creative’s unparalleled interpretation of the primary closet and dressing room evokes feelings of Heimat. A European concept rooted in feelings of personal identity and understanding, The Heimat is a place where expectations are reliable, known, and possible.

The perfect reflection of both masculine and feminine qualities, the dressing room is the ideal place for the couple’s most personal treasures and daily transitions: while one spouse enjoys a drink and unwinds from a hectic day, the other can take time dressing yet still engage in shared conversation and reflection. The bar nook—featuring reeded wood detail, bold wallpaper by Lee Jofa, and brass and glass shelving—guarantees this cozy area is more than an ordinary dressing room. Adjacent his-and-her closets are fitted with bespoke built-ins by The Couture Closet to showcase a collected wardrobe. Even the doorways are special: detailed trim work by Casci Plaster accentuates the entire space.

Layered with textures (don’t miss the rattan chandelier), pattern, and a curated, eclectic aesthetic throughout each space, the result is three unique interpretations of the same story—a place designed to eliminate stress and connect within surroundings that feel comfortable, functional, and customary.

Principal Designer Javier Burkle and Senior Designer Jennings Ross have earned a reputation for first-class designs that achieve both balance and beauty, and their portfolio seamlessly unites old and new perspectives in compositions that are both chic and warm, sophisticated and timeless.
