Finally someone is highlighting the fact that cool interiors are much more then design projects that most of the designers are doing. I admire interiors where you can tell a story about each piece and they have flaws on them.
This is a home I have previously saved to my "inspirations" list, and I am glad it is getting some love. One of the things that struck me watching you go through the apartment is that is has very few outstanding architectural features. Some good windows, but an otherwise fairly ordinary space that has been made extraordinary by the lived in, collected and handmade elements of its inhabitants. Many of the spaces we see celebrated online have such wonderful historic features and materials, or reflect the ingenuity and ability of talented architects, and would look wonderful even unoccupied. Others are just money pits, displaying the unlimited budgets and access to interior designers that come with wealth and privilege. Homes like this one, that without the respect for their limitations, flair and style of the occupants, would look pretty drab and ordinary, are so much more inspiring to watch, I find. Beauty and quality are one thing, but the accessibility and xreativity on display here are quite another.
I love your videos Noah! You have a totally unique and refreshing take on these topics. UA-cam home design content can be so bloody samey, like an interior designer sitting on a couch and discussing their 10 fav new Ikea pieces. But you are genuinely insightful. I only wish you posted more!
I’ve never stopped thinking about their corduroy sofa ever since watching the original home tour video. Like you said, their approach to cherishing objets being used and worn and torn is celebrated in just the sofa
Your videos are so laid-back and full of warmth. I really wish you could add more materials, book recommendations, and other sources for us to binge on when we're waiting for your videos, besides home tours. Thank you for making this for us!
that chair you like in the dining room seems to have taken some inspiration from a design credited to aldo leopold. he’s a pioneer in the field of wildlife ecology/conservation & author of a sand county almanac (1949). you see leopold benches all over state & national parks in the us because they are so clever and easy to build. the gap below the backrest is usually bigger so that you can put your legs through and sit on it backwards with the top of the backrest becoming a convenient elbow rest to steady your binoculars while birdwatching. doesn’t typically include those side arm rests but they are a lovely addition
it is so lovely to come home after a busy days work and see your video, the home you introduced this week is gorgeous and the couple seem so cool, thank you!
Your cool homes series have so far been delving deep into my all-time favorites (plus troye sivan's); really lovely to hear your observations on these beautiful spaces.
I saw their gorgeous and soulful place in AD. I love it too. I'm an artist and make tons of stuff for my home. I love a place that looks personal, like it could belong to no one else.
Im loving all of your videos as a new subscriber! One thing I’d love to see your opinion of is the home office. What a modern approach to placing furniture would be (such as desks, book storage, lighting, etc), typically in rooms intended as bedrooms. how to treat windows in these rooms and how to create a space for seating within the room for reading! Your content is very very appreciated!!
Lovely! I’m from Eastern Europe and those kinds of curtains were the backdrop to a lot of misery, some related to communism, some not. I could never put them in my apartment now. But what a lovely homage to her grandma! I’ve put up artwork I made, along with a needle work thing from my grandma when I moved to the Midwest, and I felt like that wall was kinda depressing. My artwork has a positive message, but it’s also clearly about struggle. And my grandma wasn’t particularly a warm figure either. However, after two years, I can’t see myself changing the artwork, bc in the end it’s such a reflection of me and my journey, even the two pieces I got from friends (one says “art workers won’t kiss ass” which feels rebellious and also completely untrue. The level of ass kissing in the contemporary artworld… I’ve been witness to it myself). I don’t find the wall depressing anymore, but a mirror of myself, and I know no other artwork I buy (I haven’t done any new pieces in over a decade) will feel so me. Also really appreciate the dimmed down sipping noise at the beginning!
I really like the towel vintage fabric that they used for their dog bed, it reminds me the towels my parents were using in the 60’s-70’s, they were using this kind of fabric to cover their beach foldable mattresses. Wish I had kept these things but I was a very small child then. Correct me if I’m wrong: is the painting in the living room a Picasso? Or a copy of a Picasso? I’m pretty sure that I have seen this painting at the Picasso museum in Paris.
I had no idea there was a name for doodling on corduroy! I had a Fossil messenger bag in the same color as that couch that my friends and I drew all over in similar ways in high school. Really love the idea of doing the same to a piece of furniture, especially one that's meant for tons of use/love/wear n tear.
In a similar vein, would love to hear/see your thoughts on the Rick Owens objects of affection. I disagree with some things but I think it’s an interesting approach to minimalism/inhospitable interiors (the word I believe he uses is “monastic”)
I've thought about this home, especially the couch, since first seeing the tour as well. It leans a bit too earthy for my taste but I still love it because it is so different from the kind of same old heavily mid century influenced aesthetics of most creatives' homes. I like a lot of creators in this space but people's homes are starting to look the same even though everyone wants to be unique. Everyone is doing shades of green, brown, yellow, preppy stripes, plaid, mid century furnishings. It can look nice but it hit me when you said this apartment has soul. That's what I think a lot of spaces are lacking. I want to see a bit more romance. Redesigning my own space that is the element I want to make sure I don't forget.
While there are similarities and i think Paige Wassel inspired a whole genre of these types of videos, I don't think they're in the same league. I've actually learned so much from Daniel's videos whereas in general I just enjoy Paige's videos without learning much.
I feel like this apartment doesn't get enough praise and is one of my all time favourites and I draw so much inspiration from it. From the general sense of place and storytelling so interwoven with all the place's details, to that kitchen - I want a moody, woody, beautiful knobs kitchen like that one ✨✨✨
I feel like living in a city the size of NYC is like hyper reality and apartments especially lend themselves to a kind of set design where anything goes. I come to this conclusion because living in a city demands long stretches of time outside the home either working hard and/or participating in all the cultural production that cities offer.
That is what I was thinking exactly. I personally don't mind breaking that rule, but the bathroom with the rusty bathtub goes too far. Where I live farmers use old rusty bathtubs as a drinking fountain for the cows in the fields.
If somebody were to ask me if Noah would like the space, I would say no. I think the space is dark and depressing and the taxidermy parrot on the bookshelf is creepy. But I love that Noah has a broad range when it comes to Design.
Didn’t see it in this one. Actually hated and felt like it was very pretentious. It’s like they put together a space without worrying about what anything actually looks like when mashed together. I mean that’s fine it’s their space but I m feeling a big 2\10 on this one
The dining room is gorgeous. But those stools, as well as that chair that you like at the end, all look really uncomfortable to me. I don't think I'd want to sit for a lengthy meal in any those chairs.

Every year you come across an amazing channel with S tier content. Glad I found your channel this year 💕

“Backdrop to a lot of misery” is a wonderfully powerful sentence.
I too think of this home tour regularly, the dining chair is so good!!
I'm SO excited! I've been waiting all week! THANK YOU!!!
YES!!!! I have been obsessed by this apartment. So cool you did a video on this.

Thanks, I really appreciate having my ideas challenged. More liveable, less perfect sounds great to me.

That would be really interesting
I would so very much enjoy a video about Rick Owens house. It would be so cool. I mean, the gun, the skull, the rawness of it all.
These people definitely shop at the local health food co-op.
Your videos are like a good meal. Love it
Really love the shape of that sofa.
love love love this

Really enjoyed this
I loved this 😊❤
I wanna see my 2 fav interior youtubers collab: Noah Daniel and Paige Wassel!
While there are similarities and i think Paige Wassel inspired a whole genre of these types of videos, I don't think they're in the same league. I've actually learned so much from Daniel's videos whereas in general I just enjoy Paige's videos without learning much.
@@camiliabastos9816 agreed. daniel approaches this like a true pro and can explain the whys very very well.
I feel like this apartment doesn't get enough praise and is one of my all time favourites and I draw so much inspiration from it. From the general sense of place and storytelling so interwoven with all the place's details, to that kitchen - I want a moody, woody, beautiful knobs kitchen like that one ✨✨✨
yayyy new content
can you review Rick Owens home? I think there's a video on UA-cam about it, I'm curios to see your opinion. Honestly, to me is the perfect interior
from what brand is the white T-shirt your are wearing?
A well curated squatter camp.
Doesn't this home violate your rule about regionalism? This home is decorated like a lake cabin but located in the heart of Manhattan.
I feel like living in a city the size of NYC is like hyper reality and apartments especially lend themselves to a kind of set design where anything goes. I come to this conclusion because living in a city demands long stretches of time outside the home either working hard and/or participating in all the cultural production that cities offer.

But I love that Noah has a broad range when it comes to Design.
I don’t love it. There are interesting elements but more so it is very much hipster pretentiousness.
Didn’t see it in this one. Actually hated and felt like it was very pretentious. It’s like they put together a space without worrying about what anything actually looks like when mashed together. I mean that’s fine it’s their space but I m feeling a big 2\10 on this one
The dining room is gorgeous. But those stools, as well as that chair that you like at the end, all look really uncomfortable to me. I don't think I'd want to sit for a lengthy meal in any those chairs.
House not home.
