“When most couples decide they’re going to cohabitate, they search for a new place together. It’s often far less stressful than the alternative: one of you making room in your current space for the other, the fear being that it’ll never truly feel like it belongs to you both. Model Candice Huffine was hyperaware of this reality when she asked her girlfriend, Hyphen & Co. founder and interior designer Shelly Lynch-Sparks, to move into the Southampton, New York, home she’s owned since 2018. She knew that the house had to feel like them. “I always asked Shelly, even up until recently, ‘Do you feel like this is home?’ Because I think that’s the most important thing,” Huffine says.”
