Yellow adds a Mondrian-like, pure-primary jolt to modern interiors.

I LOVE this post - the shot of yellow is so great in these stark, modern interiors!

Lovely! We did a “bicycle yellow” accent wall almost identical to the Brazil kitchen and it truly brightens the room.

Wow. Beautiful. It’s interesting how even the smallest amount of yellow can warm up the most austere room, and still look modern. What a fantastic photo essay.

So funny to see the images from X&L, Xander&Leon, the outdoor space used to be the garden of the office were I used to work and we had lunch everyday on that yellow bench during the summer…it’s even more beautiful in real than in the image. The kitchen is their own private kitchen and we had some really nice dinners with them. They are absolutely the best interior designers in the world!! Thanks for showing them.
