About the event

Inspired by New York’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House, Inside & Inspired is a weekend interior design exhibition set within a New York City townhouse. Explore designer-led living, dining, bedroom, and outdoor installations, meet participating creatives, and enjoy talks and demonstrations throughout the venue. Public exhibition hours are Saturday, November 20, 10 AM–6 PM, and Sunday, November 21, 10 AM–5 PM. An invitation-only preview takes place Friday evening. Admission includes scheduled talks, subject to available seating; see the program for times and locations.

Badges are provided; please wear neat, comfortable clothing and shoes.
