After months of uncertainty, followed by a last-minute house find, Kips Bay Dallas has returned for 2024. A plethora of designers from around the country convened in Dallas last week for the official opening. Room inspirations varied, but a few trends arose. From elaborate wallcoverings to intricate tile and stone work, this year’s house is a fever dream of high design. Let’s take a peek at the spaces that incorporated Perennials.

Kate Figler

Kate Figler’s ‘Venus Drawing Room’ is inspired by Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, resulting in an ultra-feminine space with unique touches. “Looking at that [art piece] gave me my colors, then we took this uber-feminine interpretation of spring, flowers, the ocean, and nature itself,” Figler explains. Having used it in previous projects, Figler chose Sheen Queen in Shell to define the lounge space. “I love the way it drapes,” says Figler.

Trish Sheats

Trish Sheats is no stranger to Kips Bay Dallas, having created a tailored bedroom in the 2020 house. This year, Sheats designed an extravagant sitting room filled with luxurious patterns and gilded details. To accompany an ornate Fortuny-covered settee, Sheats placed a throw pillow in Plushy in Paper Bag.

Lambert Landscape Company

Lambert‘s had quite the task when they took on designing the massive outdoor tiered terrace of the property. The design was inspired by the building’s French architecture and exterior details. “The key,” says Owner Paul Fields, “to the transformation was establishing symmetry in the layout and creating multiple rooms and designated spaces to retreat.” Lambert’s created two seating spaces under pavilions crafted out of Go To Stripe in Outta the Blue and Spiral Cord in Morning Glory. The team dove into the Sutherland archives and found Hameau Occasional Chairs and Louis Soleil Benches to echo the space’s traditional aesthetic.

Lavender and boxwoods bring to mind Monet’s gardens, so it is of no coincidence Lambert’s chose to incorporate a brand new Fall 2024 fabric from Francophile designer Timothy Corrigan – Leaping Leopards in Outta the Blue. The touches of blue throughout the gardens exemplify provincial French design.

And with that, we say “Au revoir!” to another great year of the Kips Bay Show House.
