Pro Spotlight: How to Find the Right Art for Your Home
Turn your home into a masterpiece using tips from this Philadelphia designer
“Interior design is an art form in itself. I consider myself an artist and a problem solver before anything else.”
If your walls are mostly bare, don’t despair. Adam Verboys, owner of Verboys Interiors in Philadelphia, knows the power that a single painting or object can have. “Art goes hand in hand with home design, because they both use the same visual language,” he says. “Art can make or break a room.”
One of Verboys’ earliest memories is redesigning his childhood home. “My mom would often come home to find that I had rearranged the house,” he says. “That led me to set design and then interior design. It was the same passion for design that carried me through.”
“Art is vital to expressing yourself in home design,” Verboys says. “I work with what my clients already have and help them find the pieces to push their design further. You can have the perfect furniture arrangement, but if nothing’s on the walls, the design could be a dud.”
Below, Verboys reveals how your walls — and the rest of your space — can really wow.
