Visit a rejuvenated Soho loft in NYC designed by interior designer Alvin Wayne. So how do you revamp an old-school apartment to not only feel fresh and unique — but also design-savvy AND family-friendly? Not an easy task, but Alvin was more than up for the creative challenge of bringing a blank living space to life with a deft use of interesting colors, repeating patterns, and eye-catching art. Key inspirational moments include: a 60ft foyer that expands front to back and includes a mirror to reflect light, giant paper lanterns for an ethereal touch, and rounded arch that softens the room and frames the home nicely as they lead to the two (yes, TWO!) living areas (one for the family to enjoy television together and the other for more intimate gatherings); a transformed kitchen that features tile in a similar aesthetic to a fireplace and leans in to an industrial aesthetic with a rolling cart, open floating shelves that display art his clients decided to not include in the main living area, and a charming breakfast nook with an antique church pew and distressed metal table; and a lounge for music listening with low marvelous seating, different shades of blue for visual interest, and a coffee table comprised of metal legs, acrylic, and a glass top.
