JUDGE JULIANNE MOORE ACTOR

Acting legend and avid collector

- TILLY MACALISTER-SMITH

When it comes to design, Julianne Moore’s voracious enthusiasm and genuine curiosity has honed her eye. Over the decades, not only has she acquired a spectacular design collection, but impressively, she has an intuitive understanding of how to put it all together. Rather than working with an interiors professional in the shadows, as many would do, the Academy Award-winning actor – known for films such as Still Alice, The Hours and Magnolia – has chosen to decorate all of her homes. While many of her pieces are considered blue-chip collector’s items, as a mother of two children, as well as owner of two dogs, ultimately she’s a pragmatist. ‘You have to use this stuff, you have to live with it,’ she says frankly. Case in point: her large George Nakashima coffee table – her first big purchase that has ‘been everywhere with me’ – bears teeth marks from her chihuahua from when it was a puppy.
