Tan Franceknows how to make room in his home to house the essentials — like his expansive shoe and candle collections.
TheQueer Eyestar, 36, recently tookArchitectural Digeston a tour of his 3,000-square-foot Salt Lake City, Utah, home, which he purchased with his husband Rob France in 2017. After a yearlong renovation process, Tan has made the living space into his ultimate sanctuary.
“Every now and then he’ll let me keep a piece that I’m obsessed with, and so we’ll have it in the house,” he said. “However, what we’ll find is it’ll be up for a month, then he gets sick of it and wants to move on to something else.”
Tan added: “He’s a typical artist — it drives me insane.”

One of Tan’s favorite things in his home is a gold-framed picture of him and his “idiots” — the rest ofQueer Eye‘sFab Five.
“I believe all of us have it in our home,” he said, laughing about the comical image. “… It’s so nice.”
And, because why not, Tan also has an entire closet dedicated to his scented candle collection — his so called “candle closet.” It’s where, he said, he seeks solace on the rare occasion that he finds himself in a bad mood.
“I’m obsessed with it,” he told the camera. “I wish you had Smell-O-Vision, because it smells just so, so good. We always have candles burning in the house — this is actually the least full it’s been in a long time.”

“I have a problem,” he confessed of his expansive shoe collection, half of which fills its own room.
The homeowners are in the process of transforming their basement into a walk-in closet to provide more room for Tan’s footwear and other essentials.
“My husband, I assume, is not going to be down here with me, he refuses to sleep downstairs,” he said, showing the work-in-progress basement which will eventually include a bed. “I don’t care, I guess this is where we divorce and I separate and move downstairs.”
He jokingly added: “Into my closet and I choose clothes over my husband.”
