A week before Debbie Millman and Roxane Gay officially started dating in 2018, Ms. Gay moved into her first house in Los Angeles.

Ms. Millman, a native New Yorker, never had a desire to live anywhere else, but she began living with Ms. Gay when a planned two-week stay just before the pandemic turned into months. The house would become her home, too.

Over the course of seven years, the now married couple — Ms. Millman, 63, is the host of the award-winning podcast “Design Matters” and Ms. Gay, 50, is a best-selling author and a contributing Opinion writer to The New York Times — have curated a warm and welcoming space that could easily double as a private gallery. The walls are covered with artwork by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Carrie Mae Weems, Barbara Kruger, Lorraine O’Grady, James Maurelle, Mickalene Thomas, Tiona Nekkia McClodden and Sadie Barnette.
