A Neo-Classical Jewel Box Apartment on the Upper East Side

Interior designer Alexander Wilson welcomes us into his jewel-box apartment on the Upper East Side—an intimate, artful space that proves small can still be spectacular.

Layered with richly patterned wallpapers, neoclassical details, and soothing green tones, Alexander’s home is a masterclass in traditional design with a modern twist. From bold Greek key motifs to a show-stopping galley kitchen, every corner is thoughtfully crafted and deeply personal.

With touching tributes to his late aunt and a whimsical collection of Vans sneakers, Andrew’s apartment tells a story that’s both stylish and sentimental. Carefully curated and full of character, it’s a cozy yet expansive space that surprises at every turn.
