It is a reflection of her personality, her love for art and her appreciation for objects that carry a story.
Located in a building dating back to the 1920s that originally served as a hotel, Julianne’s New York apartment offers her a new perspective on city living. “I love New York . This is the first time in my life that I’ve lived up high,” she shares, describing the joy of seeing the city unfold around her. The apartment features several terraces, including one shared with close friends, as well as a small herb garden that both households can enjoy, bringing a touch of greenery to urban living. The home also features affordable finds, including an IKEA storage unit she assembled herself to accommodate her dishes. Julianne considers a bathtub essential, whether at home or in a hotel, and was fortunate that the apartment already had one she loved. “I have to have a bathtub. I have to have a bathtub in my house. From the rooftop herb garden and cherished Parisian chairs to carefully selected artworks and affordable furniture, Julianne’s New York apartment reflects a home shaped by memory, craftsmanship and individuality. Rather than following a single design trend, she surrounds herself with objects that are useful, meaningful or simply make her happy.
Having spent nearly 25 years in a townhouse, the actor enjoys living above street level.
“I was thinking about having something built and I found this,” she recalls. “I put it together and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, the colour is perfect.’” The bathroom continues the apartment’s thoughtful design language. I have to have a bathtub in a hotel,” she says.
