Inside Maude Apatow’s Relaxing New York Home | Open Door | Architectural Digest

Today Architectural Digest is welcomed by actress Maude Apatow to tour her first New York apartment. The 'Euphoria' star has always dreamed of moving to New York and doing theater, so when a chance to star off-Broadway came knocking she knew it was time to start her East Coast life. As far as first NYC apartments go, Apatow lucked out with plenty of natural light in her cozy 1-bed-a rare commodity in the Big Apple. With the help of Soho Home, Apatow has created a soft, feminine vibe accentuated by pastel pinks, boucle textures, and no shortage of cat-themed art, making it the perfect haven to relax after a big show. “If a younger version of me saw this, she would be freaking out. It’s been my dream since I was like, five.”

Being a former New Yorker myself, it's clear to me that the size and quality of Maude’s apartment represents a very reasonable ideal which many young people aspire to in the city, yet, realistically, remains a vastly unattainable dream for most.

[@Priyanka77574]

There’s no way she bought it herself. It’s obvious her parents bought it for her. Most 20 somethings in New York are not living in luxury like this. 😂

[@zizzie4081]

Well said

[@MickeyDs14]

@@Priyanka77574 She's been acting quite a bit over the last few years. Euphoria isn't a small show. So, even without her parents helping her, she's probably made enough to have bought it herself. I'm all for calling out nepotism, but Maude stays to herself and doesn't bother anybody, so we don't really need to state the obvious about who her parents are or knock her down because she has the means.

[@lemonade8846]

The heirloom tomato was a definite nod to Dakota’s limes 😂

[@ayandamokwana]

I wish y’all could have let her stay there for at least a year before showing the apartment. What makes the houses on AD nice is when one realises that they’re actually lived in. Not just prepared for the interview.

Yeah you can tell that half of her stuff is stored someplace else. lol

[@maryclark6661]

Exactly the way she’s moving etc shows that she’s not used to being there, so she’s either rarely there or is newly moved.

[@BC-bt7hu]

I find it hilarious, in a very respectful way, when nepo babies act incredulous when they get what they wanted. I don't know if they don't realize who they are or they just want to seem relatable to the rest of the other people. It's very interesting 🤔

I still don't get why AD stages fruit bowls in peoples homes? Aren't we supposed to see their own style

[@JillWhitcomb1966]

Yep, agreed. Because green grapes will stay fresher for longer when stored in the fridge, as well. But those fruit bowls 'look pretty' for photography.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Who says they're staged by ad?

Look up Dakota Johnson’s allergic to limes revelation, she says they staged it for her. It’s pretty common anyway. ​@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power

[@bambii_thinks3147]

This interview gives the vibe of i knew the AD producers and editors since I was a kid because they’d come for Sunday brunch and they just casually asked if I wanted to be on the channel because her space is beautiful and I’m glad she loves it but it’s really unremarkable.

[@ivanscynthia4521]

It's unremarkable for how many resources she has access to

[@katie8325]

“I can’t believe this happened!” Everyone else can believe it.

[@brandyoctober5923]

Once it clicked who her parents are i can’t help but see so much of her mom in the way she talks. I love the pink kitchen ❤

[@Big_Mike_1116]

1:46 "because, you know, in these apartments, you got to make use of the space" does she not realize there's a fireplace in her New York apartment with her newly remodeled kitchen? So relatable!

[@ttttyyyty911]

Size-wise, it's not a huge apartment. I guess that's relatable? Though i worry about how terrible the market is, if a nepo baby's apartment is that modest.

[@Priyanka77574]

She has no idea how fortunate she is. She’s only 26 and lives in an apartment like that in New York. The vast majority of New Yorkers could never afford an apartment like that.

[@Priyanka77574]

As a guy, I love the feminine touches of your apartment. Who doesn't love pink and brass together. Love the entry wallpaper, like a secret garden.

[@Mahalakshmi-Khan]

you probably like femdom too

[@fashionbeautyrocks]

It would be so nice to hear a nepo baby thank their parents instead of being like I don't know how it happened... we all know and it's fine, it's only strange when they don't acknowledge their luck/privilege

[@airamsipuola5045]

Does she have to acknowledge her parents in every single thing she does? It's an apartment tour -- let her gush over her wallpaper and cat paintings ffs. I'm sure she bought them with her own earnings by now.

[@Priyanka77574]

@rotimioyemade8179 Yes we would. Don’t put your life on display on the internet if you don’t want to be judged.

[@user-bz9fw9bo4u]

It seems to me that Maude rarely misses an opportunity to flaunt her nepotism induced wealth and vanity. I really think it would benefit her brand/career if she just kept things a little more subtle, like Alexa Demie or even Zendaya...The fact that this humble apartment tour video has so many negative comments is indicative of poor PR.

[@WabiSabi1959]

It's lovely! Bold yet playful and serene. But certainly not a 20-something-year-old's apartment in NYC. She's bi-coastal so I'd love to see what she lives in LA. I know she's had some acting roles, but thank you Mom and Dad would be more like it. Maybe they invested and she pays the rent? I rented a studio apartment for 5 years before I could afford a 1 b/r and at the time I was a buyer for Bloomingdale's! She is giggling at the size of the living room yet it's the size of many/most entire NYC apts. Definitely has a Hollywood perspective on life. Hope she adapts and becomes a New Yorker.
