Julianne Moore Showcases IKEA Shelf in Apartment Tour

Julianne Moore has drawn attention to an IKEA KOLBJÖRN shelf in her West Village apartment kitchen after the affordable storage piece appeared in her Architectural Digest home tour. The actor used the shelf to solve limited kitchen storage needs while creating a cohesive interior look.

According to Apartment Therapy, Moore chose the $130 KOLBJÖRN unit after considering built-in shelving for her home. The shelf is designed for indoor and outdoor use, with a beige finish and industrial style that fits her kitchen.

"I needed a piece where I could have my dishes," Moore said.

Moore explained that she assembled the shelf herself and liked how the piece matched the room. HuffPost also reported that the shelf became widely noticed after the home tour.

"I put [this piece] together, and I was like, oh my gosh, the color is perfect. I like the industrial quality it has," Moore said.

The KOLBJÖRN shelf has received positive customer feedback on IKEA's website, where Apartment Therapy reported a 4.7-star rating from 122 reviews. Buyers described it as useful for kitchens, patios, storage areas and plant displays.

"They are sturdy, can store a lot for how much space they take up, and simple to put together," a reviewer wrote.

Another reviewer highlighted the shelf's flexibility across different spaces.

"I am using them in my sun porch, but they would be great in lots of rooms and with various design sensibilities. Is warm industrial a thing?" another reviewer wrote.

HuffPost reported that Moore described the shelf during the Architectural Digest tour as a practical alternative to custom storage. The publication noted the unit uses galvanized steel with an off-white powder coating and is intended to withstand different environments.

"This I’m really proud of because this is IKEA. I needed a piece where I could have my dishes because we don’t have a lot of storage in here. I was thinking about having something built, and I found this, and then I put it together, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, the color is perfect.’ I like the industrial quality it has, and it ended up kind of going with everything," Moore said.

HuffPost editorial director Kristen Aiken shared advice about ordering IKEA products online and described her experience with deliveries.

"If you don’t want to torture yourself with a traumatic in-person visit to IKEA (and subsequently struggle with getting your items home), you should try their online shipping option," Aiken said.

Aiken added that online ordering works for many items and discussed her experience receiving IKEA deliveries.

"I didn’t realize until recently that you can use it for most of their items, so now I order online and pay for their door-to-door shipping, which, depending on the size of the piece, is usually very reasonable (around $30 for a couple of large bookshelves, for example, and it takes just a few days to arrive)." Aiken said.

She also described the number of orders she had placed through the service.

"I’ve ordered at least 10 times, and only one time did an item arrive damaged — and they gave me a full refund when I provided photographic evidence," Aiken said.

Separately, Salon reviewed Moore's A24 film "The Debut," which follows Mona Friedman, a woman in her late 50s who discovers a new passion through community theater. The film is scheduled to premiere in theaters December 11, according to Salon.
