the secret best room for art, and their broken-record advice.
It’s hard to imagine household chores or ho-hum morning routines happening between the walls of a Widell Boschetti home. This is where stone surfaces are psychedelic-swirly, furniture doubles as sculpture, and nearly every element is downright tempting to touch. These interiors don’t signal “working parents” so much as maybe pro athletes or professional partiers. The truth is, the young Philadelphia design firm caters to both those audiences and more, cranking up or down the neon touches as needed. What’s constant is the duo’s commitment to fun at home—albeit with a heaping dose of elegance.
A superhero without its cape! Or, a superhero without its
powers!
Because some don’t have capes.
Christina Boschetti and Barette Widell met in a Philly park as parents; the former a fashion designer and entrepreneur, the latter a professional ballet dancer. At the moment both were undertaking their own “forever home” renovations and trading notes. Now the duo outfits new builds and top-to-bottom renovations with their signature aesthetic, which is not unlike the hotel lobby you never want to leave—all luxe finishes and visual feasts. Unsurprisingly the duo have a passionate and varied taste for art, roping it into rooms as statement pieces and finishing touches, and always on the hunt for new ways to heighten the sizzle impact of a space.
