Interior Designers Modern NYC Home | 800 Sq Ft 1BR Home Tour + Interview
NYC Home Tour + Interview w/Designer Alvin Wayne Interiors
Ever wondered how a widely published NYC based Interior Designer would approach the design of his own home? His journey to live, work, and continue to succeed in NYC? Come on this very intimate, and educational home tour of NYC based interior designer Alvin Wayne Interiors (AWI) 800 sq ft as he shows is Organic Modern Designed One Bedroom NYC apartment with pops of color, and huge windows looking at the New York Skyline. This home tours more than just a guided tour of a beautiful home, but also gets in to the stories behind each piece of the home on a personal level. Come on this walkthrough to get tips for your own design projects, or just to appreciate an affable interior designer talk about his work, and his home with so much passion that it could be wonderfully contagious. Please also stick around after the home tour for a personal, and educational interview with the Interior Designer that starts at his journey in to becoming an Interior Designer in NYC, and his stories about moving to, and settling here. There might even be some useful tips on how to become a successful influencer.
Alvin Wayne (AWI) has been featured in Architectural Digest, Forbes, NY Magazine, Domino magazine, NBC open house, Ebony magazine, Essence magazine, the New York Post, Business of Home, HGTV, Apartment Therapy, and CB2…..and now on my YouTube Channel Mitch Geng (haha)
I’ve always been curious about what it’s like to live in different cities from the home tour to the stories behind the people who live in the home, so I wanted to make the content that I wanted to see. I hope you can stay for the entire video as everything connects, but if you’re just here for the home tour, or if you’re here to just hear the interview about what it’s like to live in NYC, then I’ve added some clickable timestamps below to help you save some time.

Love this designer so much!!! Thank you! So inspiring.
I love Alvin and his home! I've been following his work for years – this tour was the most in-depth tour of his home that I've ever seen. The evolution is chef's kiss
Fantastic person but this “actually” all the time makes me crazy
Boy he can talk… Needed some visual breaks
Hope you can stay for both the Home Tour and the Interview, but if you're just here for the Interview about the designers (Alvin Wayne) journey in to Interior Design, and living and working in NYC, then it begins at
23:42. Hope that helps!
love your work
His tour has been on 4 or 5 other channels.
It’s amazing what you can do with 800 sq. Feet. His utilization of the space is amazing. Great aesthetic. Love his explanation of all the spaces and his intentions.
I especially like how he tells you where he acquired his art, and other fixtures and notable items in his space.
Love your place! You are so talented! I’m from the South too- we are known for making our houses homes 😊
I loved this video! Alvin’s apartment is incredible! I actually watched this twice! The way he speaks so passionately about interior design reminds me so much of why I love it! Thank you!
Lovely space
