My New NYC Apartment Tour!! HUGE NYC LOFT

[@erikvanconover]

Happy Sunday! This week's video is a moving vlog / tour of my new space in SoHo. Comment below what you think I should do with furnishing the spot!

As for furnishings follow your creative side and take some chances, be bold and do something different.

[@likhitkumar9526]

Erik, the apartment is white. Go for black french window style. Also, add lots of plants, I mean huge plants in the house because green is going to bring so much splash of colour in the house.

[@geekchic3996]

Indoor plants bring bad luck

I think you should get pictures of the space when it was a factory, blow them up and frame them and use them as art in the entryway

[@tirkizs]

Keep the wood panel just as it is! it fits the overall aesthetic to the apartment and adds warmth to it

[@ceeletter5772]

I would hire an artist to create a mural or something to transform it from an eyesore to a focal point.

[@raycavicchiophotography4832]

Great apartment, and in SoHo too. One of the most expensive parts of the city. The artwork thing though..... Supporting local artists is buying their art....not asking for free art to hang on your walls, and use as a "prop" for your KZbin channel. I'm sure some are going to say it's great exposure because you have so many followers and they will see it. Your average follower probably won't buy an extremely large 5'x5' or 7'x'7' piece of artwork they see hanging on your wall. A lot of artists are struggling right now, more than ever, and just like a lot of others, with this COVID crap going on. Your "promise" of exposure isn't going to pay the bills. If you can afford a SoHo loft, you can afford to support an artist and buy their art. Other than that congrats with the new place. It's really nice. :)

"And I'm gonna keep it real minimal, just the essentials" _buys a 12 foot dining table_

[@NormanF62]

In my place, the Bauhaus lighting is done and the last thing I need to do isnlighten up the space is finding a smaller chair that fits with the modern look I’m going for. Erik has a style that works for him and once he figures out what arrangement suits the place, it will come together. Good design does that no matter where you live and what you personally like best.

[@panpan-6944]

🤔 I don't think minimalism is about the size of the things you have, it's more about the number and usefulness

[@MsTravelchanel]

I actually love this place so much more then the last. It’s so much more interesting more character and more possibilities.

[@larsstougaard7097]

Totally agree 👍

[@pm-do3753]

Do a colab w an interior designer! would be really interesting to see their ideas on how to fill in all of this space

[@tatianaprofeta3227]

Interior design student here. First of all, you should keep the loft window area the wood tone that it already is. Its such a beautiful color. Secondly, I would highly suggest getting an island. There is little room in the kitchen to prep food so the island will give you more prep room but also act as a way to break up the space and create a defined kitchen area. I would also suggest getting plants to bring life and most importantly color to the space. With such high ceilings and everything being white in the apartment it can give the sense that no one really lives in the apartment. I would also say getting natural linen curtains to go over your windows and also the wall that you are creating. It seems like you love simple neutral colors for your home interior and bringing in a different tone of white/beige can go a long way to making it feel like your home and not just an apartment you sleep in. I would also suggest getting rugs and decor that has texture. Our tactile sense is a huge part in which we experience design and the world. I would also probably mount the tv on the wall between the windows because it looks like a picture frame anyways. Also, I would get either a natural wood dinning room table or a mixture of concrete and wood to give it again more texture and visual interest.

[@obrianbuchanan6140]

You should definitely put an island across the kitchen it will look soooooo nice

[@king4life219]

I think the brown wood on the sliding doors gives it a nice contrast from all the white around it. I would keep it as is but that’s just me! This is an awesome place man, congrats!

[@ohaggie]

I think the last apartment that he shared with his ex-fiancée was actually bigger than this new one.

[@NormanF62]

At the age, he’s now, I find myself thinking he should take full advantage of it because we only live once and despite my critique of certain aspects of his new apartment, I want to state for the record, that as long as Erik is happy, that’s all really matters. He’s the one living there, not us and we’re both modernists at heart. I live in a classic brick and corrugated steel building that’s in homage to the classic Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany and both the International Style and the industrial loft look are dear to my heart.

I would definitely add an island in the kitchen, as well as a decently sized table. I like your idea with the glass window wall around to bedroom. Very nice apartment overall!

[@pamelahofman1785]

Add an island for the kitchen. You have the room and it will nicely break up the space as well as adding more cooking facility. Also, if you're redoing parts of the apartment, why not remodel the bathroom and make it bigger and nicer? (Finances aside, of course.)

[@CodyBuffinton]

That is such a unique spot, it definitely fits you well man!

[@erikvanconover]

thank you Cody!

[@Sasha-qf8eu]

Tips from someone with a passion for interior design: definitely a kitchen island of some sort, keep the wood on the sliders, mount the tv on the side wall and not between the windows, get floor to ceiling (or like from the window “bench” to the ceiling” curtains in a neutral coloured linen and finally rugs. It’s such an open space that it needs rugs to create different zones, and remember to get very large rugs so they don’t look out of place.

[@mitchellhughes5180]

Definitely needs an island. The kitchen is WAY too small. It just doesn’t feel right with it tucked away in the corner.

[@schw0373]

Def better than your last apartment, which was a really awkward, overly long space with a cramped bedroom nook. But I have to say, I'm surprised you're still renting rather than owning!

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

New York has a DEFINATE space distribution issue when it comes to Design!!.. A Crazy Person built that Loft where you can't stand upright while the rest of the apartment has Ceilings that go literally to the Sky!!! There is NO REASON for small ANYTHING in an apartment of that size!!

I think he mentioned it was previously a factory, so it wasn't designed for living space.

keep the wood color, and add a painting below with a rug and a drawer table thing and then get a huge dinner table with a beautiful rug under it, add a ton of plants and expand your work area

I think most people in NYC move every 1 to 2 years plus Erik already mentioned on Instagram that he plans to actually buy a house after this. So, this apartment will be his last apartment in NYC.

It’s a beautiful apartment, but it baffles me the fact that this is either something Erik is into, or something that’s a New York thing: big apartments that got only one single freaking bedroom. My Brazilian mind can’t grasp that, because down here that apartment would have at least three bedrooms.

[@e28a]

[@irenemartinez5204]

The foyer/entrance needs a console table (60 inches long depending on the length of the space). Add a large mirror above the console table. Place something unique (large in width) on the middle of the console table. Lastly add a lamp with a warm glow and place it on the right or left side of the console table. Oh don't forget to add one luminara candle to the console table from QVC (cheaper but the real thing).

I also think adding in a butcher block island would be a really beautiful addition to your kitchen! Nice place!

[@DramaticV]

Erik, you definitely have a thing for humongous open-space/lofty apartments. It's a little hard to work with, interior-design wise, but what I'd recommend is softening the industrial vibe here and there to make the space cozier. For example, I wouldn't paint the wood white (there's enough of it already in this apt) and as for the glass wall you're getting -- go for something that, again, would be a slight break from the industrial vibe all over (something with wood perhaps to complement the alcove's sliding door?).
