Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Manhattan

Take some of New York’s top designers, give them an empty room, and tell them to decorate it any way they want. The result might end up being a blueprint to the chicest ideas in home design right now. That’s apparent at this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House, which just opened in Manhattan. Nothing is off the table in terms of decorating, from colors to textures to the things to frame them against.

To create whimsy in the “Sleeping Beauty” little girl’s room, Manhattan designer Zoya Bograd re-created the rug’s arabesque design on the walls and then “bedazzled it” with more than 500 Swarovski crystals.

DIY tip “It is so simple and actually low cost,” Bograd says. Paint the wall, and then glaze it by blotting with a dry cloth. Stencil it next, using house paint. Last, “glue anything” on the walls, she says.
