Julianne Moore Opens Her New York Rooftop Apartment

Julianne Moore has opened the doors of her New York City rooftop apartment, giving a look at a home that pairs sweeping city views with an eclectic collection of art and furniture.

According to the tour, the apartment is filled with pieces the actress has been gathering since 1995 and in the years since. Rather than reflecting a single design moment, the rooms show a long stretch of collecting, with offbeat works sitting alongside more practical everyday furniture.

One detail is likely to stand out to design-minded readers: the home includes Ikea furniture. It is a reminder that a well-known resident doesn't need custom pieces or luxury labels to make a space feel considered. Affordable finds can sit comfortably next to more unusual purchases, especially when they are chosen gradually over the years.

Rooftop apartments in Manhattan are relatively rare and often command a premium, since open-air space and uninterrupted skyline views are hard to find in the city. Tours like this give readers a glimpse of how people who live in such homes actually furnish them and balance the drama of the view with the comfort of daily life.
