I feel that this home screams 'life is too short to be bitter, stay in a bad relationship, drink bad wine, live in a dull/uninspiring space'! This apartment is so beautiful, I am going to watch the video a 2nd time.
I definitely want to share this, as well, to anyone framing their vision with a catalogue. Let the pieces speak for you, not the new edition of RH and Crate and Barrel.
"Home is a love letter to yourself": That's such a beautiful line, I like how this guy looks at life. Gorgeous place too, and the furniture height trick is really clever!
I think this is my favorite apartment ever featured on here. Every detail is beautiful, it’s modern without being sterile. His vision and taste are impeccable!
This is gorgeous! It's a true home that feels like it was crafted with love. The colours and textures add a richness that you don't see enough. Most importantly, it's the kind of home that reflects the wonderful personality of the person who lives there.
I appreciate the juxtapose of linear, clean lines with the sumptuous, rounded out furniture and accents. This makes the space timeless and intentionally authentic to Alvin. Bet!
I liked the video 5 seconds in! Alvin, your home is truly a reflection of you & I love it! More black people & their luxurious spaces, please & thanks, Apartment Therapy!
Alvin you are the definition of apartment therapy!!!! His apartment is gorgeous and so reflective of his charming personality. Apartment as a love letter to self!!!! That part ✌🏿
I adore him! And his space is absolutely gorgeous. I really appreciate his intentionality about keeping the living room items below that window level. Genius! And it looks so good.
I thought that was concrete until he said it was wall paper. My favorite thing about his home is that it looks both beautiful and comfortable. It doesn't look like a cold unwelcoming place. He did a great job making it his own. And that fancy little binocular are too cute.
Honestly, this is the BEST interior I have seen on RUclips this year. It has personality, it has immense interest and personal expression. The pillows and rugs are perfectly chosen. Each choice is made with the adjacent object in mind, so the proper contrast is maintained. As a fellow designer, hats off to you, Mr. Wayne!
I love how things aren't so matchy matchy but still work so well together. That's the kind of decorative freedom I want to have when designing a space!
Instantly fell in love with your style Alvin! Watched your video at least a dozen times in order not to miss anything. Never truly LOVED every single item a designer showed until I watched your video. I’m taking your advice, “ if you can’t stop thinking about it just get it...” LOVED THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO! THANK YOU ALVIN!
I am seeing this video now for the first time. Alvin has such a marvelous attitude for designing and decorating. He encourages us to get what we love and not hesitate. He had done a great job in designing his space. He has truly made this apartment his own. He loves to be there and that is what we should all feel. Love being at home, so make your space uniquely yours and fill it with all the items you love to look at and be functional as well. Kudos to you, Alvin. I have much admiration for what you have created!
Wow these are my New York dreams, one day I will be able to afford an apartment if my own. And hopefully I can afford to hire Alvin to decorate 🥰 ( or At least take his virtual home design workshops, he really should create some of those lol)
@@mckenziereed9501 you say it may be more "affordable", but you have NO idea what he paid 🙄, but his furnishings and decor don't look cheap! You're the only one who couldn't give a positive review. Nice try to throw cold water on this lovely man's lovely home!
Alvin is such a bright soul! I found myself smiling watching this whole video. Love his energy and personality. I love his approach to style, design and purchasing items that bring you joy. His home is really unique! Thank you for featuring him on your channel!
His space is so gorgeous! It’s a perfect example of what you can make with a “plain white box” apartment!! I love the idea of buying something if you truly love it 🦋🙏🎆
His comment that “your home is truly a love letter to yourself” got me in the feels. I move into my own place in a few months and I’ll be taking bucketloads of inspiration from that quote and this amazing man!!!
“Home is a love letter to yourself.” This is SO TRUE! I adopt the same style mantra. I LOVE ALVIN! I LOVE HIS SPACE! That wallpaper is convincingly deceiving-I thought for sure he had concrete walls! Oh and I’ve been trying to find just the right neon sign for my foyer! Brava!!! 👏👏👏
The only thing I would tweak is the coffee table; I’m not sure if it’s the angle, but the scale seems too small, maybe a second or larger table... Again, such a lovely space!!!
I love his style and that apartment. And I totally agreed that home is everything. Especially now, home is my cocoon of joy. It should be like that closet in the Narnia story. No matter how bad it is outside, when you step through your door you should be in your own world. This and Kim White's apartment are goals.
😍It takes me awhile to fall in love, but your home tour was automatic love! 🌿🌿Your plants are like my 2 cats, alive and pay no bills 🤣 You're so right about home, it is your sanctuary especially after a hectic day. 🍷🍸
This is my all-time favorite Apartment Therapy video. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and inspiring spirit, Alvin! Your home is absolutely a reflection of you! Every detail is perfection - I especially loved how nothing is above the window break so you can see the city. And agree with everyone who said we love seeing black-designed and black-owned/rented spaces on the AT channel. ❤️
Wow I've never enjoyed someone explain their style and their apartment as much as I did in this video! That hand gesture after he showed how his console / buffet holds his bar items, just so fun and uplifting! I don't know why but I'm committing his name to memory - Alvin Wayne -
I feel that this home screams 'life is too short to be bitter, stay in a bad relationship, drink bad wine, live in a dull/uninspiring space'! This apartment is so beautiful, I am going to watch the video a 2nd time.
I did the same thing. Fabulous darling
I definitely want to share this, as well, to anyone framing their vision with a catalogue. Let the pieces speak for you, not the new edition of RH and Crate and Barrel.
He would make good company, conversation and of course get your sip on.
That's why I had to visit the home tour a 2nd time😁
Amen
Me too.
"Home is a love letter to yourself": That's such a beautiful line, I like how this guy looks at life. Gorgeous place too, and the furniture height trick is really clever!
Lol
Yessss more Black people’s homes need to be displayed!
Absolutely!
Yes!
Yes!!

I feel Alvin would make a wonderful friend.
I totally agree!!
I thought the same thing!
Yes, I want to be Alvin’s friend!
@@carmensiordia7097 Me too!!
I think this is my favorite apartment ever featured on here. Every detail is beautiful, it’s modern without being sterile. His vision and taste are impeccable!
I agree...I think it has ruined me for all the others...
Agree!
100% he owns this uniqueness in this space, I wish he could come to ATL and help me with my house
@@pamelapeterson2987 seriously, I feel that
I love everything about his apartment, mindset for decorating, the whole concept!!! Gorgeous!!!😍👏🏾😁
RIGHT?! My exACT aesthetic!! 😍😍😍
I’m going to remember this: home is a love letter to yourself❤️❤️❤️
Omg what a charming and interesting gentleman. I love the apartment full of charm and personality❤️
‘That doesn’t pay bills’ 🌱 that line! 🤣 love everything about this, especially Alvin!
This guy is a gem!
Alvin is a VIBE as is his warm, clean-lined, and luxurious flat. An inspiration!
This house tour is everything I needed and more. His energy was ILLUMINATING - he's the epitome of #blackboyjoy.
I love him lol his style choices, his overall persona, his apartment. This made me smile.
THERE ARE NO WORDS TO SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE YOUR APARTMENT. IVE NEVER FELT THIS WAY ABOUT ANY APARTMENT IVE EVER SSEEN. YOU ARE GENIUS.
This is gorgeous! It's a true home that feels like it was crafted with love. The colours and textures add a richness that you don't see enough. Most importantly, it's the kind of home that reflects the wonderful personality of the person who lives there.

Wow the floor to ceiling windows really make the space look huge
I love this man's home. Eclectic and beautifully styled. I wish I had his eye. Haha
I love him, I love his space, I love his mindset around design.
I liked the video 5 seconds in! Alvin, your home is truly a reflection of you & I love it! More black people & their luxurious spaces, please & thanks, Apartment Therapy!
I don’t know what I like better.... Alvin or his apartment. Both are amazing. Thanks for sharing!
What a classy stylish home overlooking the trains! What a totally different view! I luv it and him
"if you can't stop thinking bout it, get it!!"
This is by far one of my favorite apartment therapy videos! Now lets print out "home is a love letter to yourself" and frame it
Such a well spoken man. The design has me thinking he's in 1200sq ft. Amazing designer.
Wow. Love him, the apartment, the mirror, the couch. Everything.
What a beautiful space! Feels like he’s talking to me! I feel so inspired to do what makes ME happy and what brings me JOY in & outside of room decor!
I’ve watched this video so many times because I love his apartment.Home is where you lay down and dream. Home is a love letter to yourself.
I LOVE this! So stunning. Feels like a warm hug from him and his apartment
This is one of the MOST beautiful decorated apt. I've EVER seen. I can't even handle it I'm over whelmed and enchanted. 😲😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Alvin you are the definition of apartment therapy!!!! His apartment is gorgeous and so reflective of his charming personality.
Apartment as a love letter to self!!!! That part ✌🏿
Can't bliv it's 5:45mins.
Felt like 5 seconds...
Really enjoyed watching you...such a happy person

Four things I love: the headboard; the wallpaper; the consoles; the mirror. Beautifully designed apartment - great work.
Style versus trendy. Love that his character shines through in his design. It's so personal, unique.
"If you love it, get it! Home is a love letter to yourself!" So inspired by Alvin's words. Great video! Thank you🥰
This was gorgeous. Definitely want to see more black renters/home owners on here!
Alvin is so charming and cool, just like his apartment! This video makes me wish I could hang with him in his gorgeous apartment. That view!!!!
"If you cant stop thinking about it, buy it" "home is EVERYTHING", just rewatching for all the inspirational words...plus the space is BEAUTIFUL.
Beautiful space, that bird of paradise is a statement piece
I love how things aren't so matchy matchy but still work so well together. That's the kind of decorative freedom I want to have when designing a space!
"Home is a love letter to yourself" - THE BEST LINE I EVER HEARD. Thank you, sir!
This is a beautiful apartment. I love the dining room table
Instantly fell in love with your style Alvin! Watched your video at least a dozen times in order not to miss anything. Never truly LOVED every single item a designer showed until I watched your video. I’m taking your advice, “ if you can’t stop thinking about it just get it...”
LOVED THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO!
THANK YOU ALVIN!
You can’t buy good taste. His apt. is gorgeous!!!
This interior decoration is perfection! Also, this human's energy is ON.MY.LEVEL! Obsessed!
I wish I could click the like button for this video multiple times. It was wonderful in so many ways, the design, his mind set... everything
Wow I love this guy And his house is beautiful! So much of what he said resonated with me, I’ll definitely be revisiting this video again and again.
Wow. This is my favorite apt tour thus far!!! And love him!
I love this space so much

Genius, genius, genius....Alvin is a GENIUS! This lifted my spirits so much today ✨
It's always nice to hear from designers because they are open to giving us insights.
Yes! That mirror is everything ❤️❤️
Headboard is beautiful!!!!
"Home is a love letter to yourself." ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Best description, ever!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
GIVE THIS GUY HIS OWN SHOW! Or at least a segment on somebody else’s show. I’m already obsessed!!!
Surround your home with things you love! Love it!
Love mid-century modern, love the windows, the peel and stick wallpaper, the credenza. I love his motto, "If you love it, get it!"
This needed to be longer!!! What a joy to watch, both house and owner ❤️👌🏼
Wow these are my New York dreams, one day I will be able to afford an apartment if my own. And hopefully I can afford to hire Alvin to decorate 🥰 ( or At least take his virtual home design workshops, he really should create some of those lol)
His is in LIC so it's more "affordable" than similar Manhattan units!
@@mckenziereed9501 you say it may be more "affordable", but you have NO idea what he paid 🙄, but his furnishings and decor don't look cheap! You're the only one who couldn't give a positive review. Nice try to throw cold water on this lovely man's lovely home!
How fantastic is he! Everything he said is something to take to heart. This beautiful man knows self-care in a beautiful space.
What a fabulous apartment. Enjoyed Alvin too. Words of wisdom.
I'm OBSESSED with his space. 🤩😍 So many organic textures and interesting vinyettes and cozy and clean. Beautiful
Gawd, this was 1 of the best ones featured!
Alvin is such a bright soul! I found myself smiling watching this whole video. Love his energy and personality. I love his approach to style, design and purchasing items that bring you joy. His home is really unique! Thank you for featuring him on your channel!
He did that!! I love his decorating style. Not obnoxious, but classy...It gives!!!❤️
I loooove this man’s vibe and his home and his attitude! From now on I’m going to think of my home as a love letter to myself.
His space is so gorgeous! It’s a perfect example of what you can make with a “plain white box” apartment!! I love the idea of buying something if you truly love it 🦋🙏🎆
His comment that “your home is truly a love letter to yourself” got me in the feels. I move into my own place in a few months and I’ll be taking bucketloads of inspiration from that quote and this amazing man!!!
GORG!!! Warm with elegance and a touch of masculinity. He was such a great narrator for his video tour too.
"If you love it get it" thats my new mantra. Your design style is fabulousssssss!
“Home is everything” .... dude YOU are everything!!!! love love
“Home is a love letter to yourself.” This is SO TRUE! I adopt the same style mantra. I LOVE ALVIN! I LOVE HIS SPACE! That wallpaper is convincingly deceiving-I thought for sure he had concrete walls! Oh and I’ve been trying to find just the right neon sign for my foyer! Brava!!! 👏👏👏

Love your philosophy about how you acquire things that you love for your home. Your space is beautiful.
Here for all of this. Love the luxury and life of this apartment. One of my best episodes yet!
So much beauty in one space- loved this!!
So crazy that I just started following Alvin on IG a few weeks ago and I've been obsessed with him, his design aesthetic, and his home ever since!
What a lovely human being!
Perfection. Love his design philosophy and style. Just found his channel...subscribed immediately!
I’m obsessed with his style, philosophy & personality ‼️🖤
I like his sense of humor and positivity in life.
I love his style and that apartment. And I totally agreed that home is everything. Especially now, home is my cocoon of joy. It should be like that closet in the Narnia story. No matter how bad it is outside, when you step through your door you should be in your own world. This and Kim White's apartment are goals.
Every single detail in this apartment works beautifully in the space. Gorgeous apartment!
😍It takes me awhile to fall in love, but your home tour was automatic love! 🌿🌿Your plants are like my 2 cats, alive and pay no bills 🤣 You're so right about home, it is your sanctuary especially after a hectic day. 🍷🍸
This apartment is a mixture of good taste, coziness, elegance, love it.Tô seeing it for the second time.😊
I love every corner.
This is my all-time favorite Apartment Therapy video. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and inspiring spirit, Alvin! Your home is absolutely a reflection of you! Every detail is perfection - I especially loved how nothing is above the window break so you can see the city. And agree with everyone who said we love seeing black-designed and black-owned/rented spaces on the AT channel. ❤️
This tour had me up here smiling and nodding!! Oozes individuality and style...LOVE IT! More like this please...

“Home is truly a love letter to yourself.” ~ I so need to adopt this philosophy
This guy literally spoke my heart!!!
Love it! Cool views.
i love him! he is adorable and his home is cozy and warm! what an amazing and happy soul.
Thank you - going through an ugly moment, it's amazing how many things speak love when the heart hurts....
Niceeeeee.....that view💖
Wow I've never enjoyed someone explain their style and their apartment as much as I did in this video! That hand gesture after he showed how his console / buffet holds his bar items, just so fun and uplifting! I don't know why but I'm committing his name to memory - Alvin Wayne -
