Nothing about where interior designer Harrison Soll is now was part of the plan. Five years ago, he was focused on his work, and he didn’t want any distractions. But when he met Rodney Burns, a stylist and owner of the legendary West Hollywood vintage boutique, Church, it set everything on a new path. They met in the fall; by New Year’s they were a couple. “I didn’t think it was going to be a relationship,” Soll says. He credits their shared interests for bringing them together: “We always found a throughline with design.”
They now live in a 1925 craftsman house in Laurel Canyon. Soll took the lead decorating the nearly 1,400-square-foot home in a combination of his and Burns’s styles with many pieces coming from Burns’s eclectic collection of vintage art, furniture, and sculpture. Burns has worked with Lenny Kravitz as a stylist and creative collaborator for the past 15 years, and the singer says he admires what Burns and Soll have created together. “The mix of Rodney’s early- to midcentury style mixed with ethnic expression next to Harrison’s bold minimalist modern approach seamlessly blend together,” Kravitz tells AD.
