Relax. Reenergize. Restore. These principles drive Vern Yip whether he’s designing for a client or himself. Creating spaces that encourage these three things is key to making a home into a personal sanctuary. When it came to designing his famous Rosemary Beach house, Vern stuck to his three guiding principles to create the perfect, warm home for him and his family. Using his fabrics, wallcovering and trim, Vern’s home reflects his personal narrative as well as his family’s journey together.
“You and your family are your home’s most important people.”
Vern’s process for creating a haven, sanctuary, and home begins with the messaging you choose to project with your design. He defines his messaging as, “warmth, comfort, order, and happiness.” He brings this to life by mixing texture, color, and patterns that drive his message forward. Pops of color adorn sitting areas, windows, and bedrooms while the walls remain neutral. Adding his wallcovering to the living room brings texture and detail that makes the wall special, and another reason why the living room is one of his favorites places to gather.
