Award winning architectural and interior designer and HGTV television host Vern Yip and multichannel retailer HSN have partnered to launch Vern Yip Home.

The exclusive Vern Yip Home collection at St. Petersburg, Fla.-based HSN will feature his signature, unique design Lotus and Medallion (a symbol of his family's history and design aesthetic) available on a bedding line. The collection will also include furniture, window treatments, rugs, lighting and decor items.

"Balancing work and family life has inspired me to continue my quest to create easy solutions for everyday problems," said Vern Yip. "Together with HSN, my goal is to simplify the challenges of the home space while bringing to life its personality and embracing functionality."

"Vern is amazing to work with. The combination of his sensibility, style, and exceptional designs are qualities that HSN customers will fall in love with," said Nancy Caplan, senior vice president of merchandising for HSN. "At HSN, we are excited to provide the viewer a unique opportunity to connect with Vern on an intimate level and learn home design tips from a recognized expert."

Also, as part of HSN's 34th birthday festivities, HSN is launching a sweepstakes contest today that includes two round-trip airline tickets to St. Petersburg, FL, a two-night stay at the historic Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club, a personal home design consultation from Vern Yip and a $5,000 room makeover.

Vern Yip will debut his new home collection and announce the sweepstakes winner on HSN on Tuesday, July 26.
