Yellowtrace Best Of 2021 Residential Interior Design

 

While we take some time on our annual break to recalibrate, imagine and plan the coming year, we’re giving you the chance to explore some of our favourite articles we’ve shared in 2021. Although — let’s be honest here — pretty much everything we share with you is a favourite, because what we publish on Yellowtrace is the epitome of curated. Nothing but the best, chuck out the rest!!

Herewith our favourites from the absolutely bangin’ Residential Interiors category, and boy oh boy — this was excruciating to edit down to some 40 projects.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned during the global turmoil of the last couple of years, it’s the importance of our homes, the ultimate inner sanctums of our lives. These spaces have had to shift, adapt and work harder for us than ever.

I hope you enjoy this global selection of the finest homes from Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium, France, Denmark, Greece, Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Poland, The Netherlands, UK, India, Taiwan, United States — you know, all over the place. To see more Australian Homes, click here.
