The Handmaid's Tale star and Orange Is the New Black writer have a Homepolish-designed California bungalow that is as bright and fun as they are
When Lauren Morelli first hired Stefani Stein from Homepolish, Morelli's girlfriend Samira Wiley had yet to move into her Los Angeles home with her. But according to Morelli, Wiley was "always a consideration" in her design process. Actress Wiley backs up her wife of just seven months, saying: "I always knew I was going to move in."
The couple first met in 2012 when Morelli, a writer and producer for the Netflix dramedy Orange Is the New Black, wrote an episode that Wiley appeared in (Wiley now appears on another Emmy-winning show, Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale, as well as the comedy Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes on Television, which just debuted on YouTube Red on October 25). The pair officially became a couple in 2014, and Morelli proposed in 2016. They married in March 2017.
"Starting a marriage, and coming into a house that you weren't a part of in the beginning, and learning how to make it part of your own is something I'm having to do after the fact," explains Wiley.
"I'm just not used to decorating a house," admits Wiley. "We were both new to it. I'm just starting to learn I can have opinions: 'Yes, I love that wallpaper. Yes, I love this.'"
"My goal was definitely color. I love patterns," says Morelli. "I wanted it to feel like a representation of us, and I felt like we had an opportunity to do something uniquely feminine because it's two women in a house."
