After touring at least a dozen homes, engagedBachelorettecoupleBecca Kufrinand Garrett Yrigoyen finally settled down in a brand new, two-bedroom Spanish Mediterranean-style apartment in Carlsbad, Calif.
She and her fiancé, an outdoor excursion guide she met on season 14 of the reality series in 2018, enlistedWayfair Registryto help them create a coastal-inspired space that meshed Kufrin’s “colorful” and “eccentric” style with Yrigoyen’s “minimalistic” vibe.

“It was definitely a transition I think for both of us,” Kufrin says. “We went from me being on my own and him living with a bunch of dudes, to living together. We have very, very different styles anddécor preferences.”
“We wanted to keep it more simple just to kind of mesh our styles because I like every wall and crevice of a place to be decorated,” she continues. “He likes more minimalistic. So we kind of found a happy medium there where we kept it pretty neutral with different tones of blue and green.”

The pair incorporated moreclassic pieces, like an L-shaped gray couch (which Kufrin says is Yrigoyen’s “favorite” place in the apartment) with more vintage-style elements, like a geometric patterned rug.
“By having bits of our lives combined with these amazing, beautiful pieces and décor, it just feels like more-so my home than it’s ever felt,” Kufrin says.
But what really makes it feel like home? “Having Garrett here,” says Kufrin. And soon, the pair will likely bring in a new addition to the family: “We both really want a dog!”
