When it comes to home comforts, there are some things we simply won't sacrifice, and actress Julianne Moore has just revealed her non-negotiable home essential, which couldn't be more relatable.

While modern bathroom trends encourage homeowners to let showers take precedence over baths, if having a long soak is a priority, then you'll probably relate to actress Julianne Moore, who insists on always having a tub.

Speaking to Architectural Digest, the Still Alice star gives us a peek into her bathroom and the essentials she insists on having in her life.

Whether or not you're interested in making your bathroom look expensive, having a bathtub is always a welcome luxury. And one that some people simply cannot live without.

"I have to have a bathtub," says Julianne. "I have to have a bathtub in my house. I have to have a bathtub in a hotel. It's like something essential to my life, and this is the cutest little bathtub."

"It's actually the perfect size for me, because I don't like a bathtub that's too big because then the water gets too cold, too fast. I was fortunate that it was here, so we were able to use the original bathtub," she adds.

"The previous owner had excellent taste. These are all her marble tiles, and Oliver very painstakingly found tiles that would match them. It's sort of interesting, but it really works to have all of these different patterns," Julianne explains.

Not only has Julianne's interior designer, Oliver Freundlich, absolutely mastered the tile-drenching trend, but he's also added small, genius touches that make the space even more functional.

"This is a signature of Oliver's. I love this, a marine lip. This is, you know, so if you spill, say, drinking your water, and you go like this, it's not going to go off the edge; it's going to collect on the marine lip," Julianne points out.

"These are Eileen Grey light fixtures; I just love them. As I said, I like things that are a little bit industrial or a little bit hard," she adds.

These more industrial-styled lights are gaining popularity in this year's lighting trends and are a great way to add a stylish touch to your bathroom without transforming the entire space.

"What I think is great about this bathroom in particular is that the marble is so bright and these lights are so good; you tend to look really good in this bathroom," laughs Julianne.

This bathroom has certainly shown how to brighten a dark room in so many ways, and we can certainly get behind a space that makes us look our best, too.
