Kips Bay Decorator Show House 2018
Each year, celebrated designers transform a luxury Manhattan residence into the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club Decorator Show House , an elaborate exhibition of fine furnishings, art, and technology. This year’s iteration, from May 1-31, 2018 was no different. Designers went all out: Juan Montoya Design Corp evokes the cosmos via abstract silhouettes of the moon, while Barbara Ostrom Associates transports guests to an avid art collector’s library, crowned by a ceiling inspired by Frank Stella paintings.
This year’s pièce de résistance, however, was the grand staircase (the house’s undisputed centerpiece, a five-story spiral staircase with an ornate wrought-iron rail) was highlighted by Sasha Bikoff Interior Design’s technicolor ode to past, present, and future. And, ‘ode to #WellnessForMindBodySpirt was an in-home SPA retreat created by Pavarini Design‘s Randall Tarasuk and Charles Pavarini III. The PH level retreat and roof deck featured a massage table, healing crystals and outdoor fountain–an ode to serenity and wellness to relieve stress and to foster inner-peace and tranquility–every home must have one!
