“Sometimes [decorating a home] can stereotypically be like, okay, the girl kind of does all the decor and the guy just is like ‘I just need these two things,'” Sandovaltold PEOPLEin 2021. “But it definitely wasn’t like that with us. It was a total collaboration, which is great because I like stuff that’s funkier and a little bit louder and Ariana likes things serene and tranquil.
