Today we take a tour through the best commercial interiors to be featured on Yellowtrace in 2022—and yes, things are going to get sexy-as-hell. Obviously. Be it retail, workplace or hybrids of both and beyond, we love to see designers balance practical space planning with out-of-this-world designs. Agile and adaptive, this category never fails to surprise us.

Our best-of selection from 2022 features fashion stores; design showrooms; lifestyle, beauty and food retail, as well as boutique to medium size offices, many of which challenge our perception of a workplace—in the best way possible. Let’s jump in.
