2025 Kingston Design Connection Showhouse Set For Fall Opening

The 7th annual Kingston Design Showhouse will open its doors October 10-26, 2025. Produced by Kingston Design Connection (KDC), the yearly showhouse connects the upstate New York design-build industry to each other for local economic development and helps grow the design scene in the region.

This year, the Kingston Design Showhouse takes over a historic home built in 1865. Boasting enviable original architectural details, including a mansard roof, the house includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, as well as a receiving room, an eat-in kitchen and more.


Take a look back at last year’s Kingston Design Showhouse here.


Since 2022, proceeds from this showhouse have benefited KDC’s programs with Ulster Habitat for Humanity, including the annual Kingston Design Habitat House produced each year in a newly-built Habitat for Humanity home. Additionally, at the end of the showhouse period, the homeowner will be gifted all permanently installed items, including a custom kitchen, custom bathrooms, wallpaper and more. This is in keeping with KDC’s mission to support local economic development while minimizing its environmental impact.
