But Vern Yip, who has designed on TLC's Trading Spaces and hosts the interior design show Home Reimagined, says that compromising on your tastes now means you might be redecorating a year from now. This episode, Yip shares a step-by-step guide from his new book, Color Pattern Texture, to make any room feel undeniably you — and still keep roommates, partners and your budget happy.
