Chicago, Park City & Beyond Let’s be honest, I am a fanatic about interior design.

The name Blanc & Noir comes from the French words white & black. While everything is not always white and black, it is a good reminder that life is about balance… it’s the only way to live life beautifully. I’m Monique Smith, creator and principal designer of Blanc & Noir Interiors. It all began at an early age growing up in a household full of girls with an eye for style. A top a mother that was

frequently remodeling our home and absolutely fond of tile (to say the least!). We found reasons to dance & celebrate (admittedly, I still do my happy dance after a design achievement!). Beyond my roots, I raised a family while I worked in business running large capital improvement projects for communities. I then began an interior design and floral business. I gained my Interior Design degree at LDS Business College among many additional design education courses. I worked for a design firm in Park City, Utah. With my combined experience, I have been blessed to work with many great clients all over the world for the past 10+ years. To each is a unique and rewarding experience for all. I’ve had the opportunity to speak at trade shows and educate clients about the need for professional design. While my passion for interior design grew from countless hours of design projects (and design fantasy;) my love for travel grew. It’s where I get most of my design inspiration. I find beauty in nature and classical architecture. It’s example is simple, timeless, and balanced. This is why Blanc & Noir was created. My hope is that we can bring you our experience combined with your dreams into reality. To create a timeless personalized lifestyle for you to call your happy place!

Casa Pedrera is a reminder that architecture should never feel static.
Gaudí designed movement into every curve—stone that feels almost fluid, balconies that breathe, and light that shifts throughout the day.

It’s this kind of intentional imperfection that inspires my work—spaces that feel lived in, layered, and quietly bold.

Design should feel like an experience, not just a look.

The detail in European design is on another level ✨

Walking through spaces like this reminds me how much texture, color, and light can completely transform how a space feels.

Gaudí didn’t just design buildings—he designed experiences.

This is exactly the kind of depth I bring into my client designs, even remotely.

If you’ve been wanting a space that feels layered and intentional… this is your sign.

Walking through Casa Batlló and completely drawn to the tile details ✨

I’ve always loved how Antoni Gaudí designs—there’s this effortless way he brings in light, color, and nature so everything feels fluid and alive. Nothing feels forced or overly perfect, and that’s what makes it so beautiful.

It’s a reminder that the smallest details—like tile—can completely shape how a space feels.

This kind of inspiration is what I carry into every project, especially when designing remotely—finding ways to make a space feel layered, natural, and uniquely yours.

Saving this one 🤍

Kitchen remodel fears are REAL… 😬👇

“What if I don’t like the style in a few years?”
Totally fair. That’s why we design with you in mind—not trends.

“What if I pick the wrong appliances?”
“What if it looks good… but functions terribly?”

Yep. I hear it all. And I’ve got you.

I offer remote design services so you get expert guidance—wherever you are.

We solve the design problems before they happen…
So you can skip the stress and go straight to the happy dance 💃🏻

A kitchen that works AND looks amazing? Yes please.

Tell me, what’s your biggest kitchen remodel fear? 👇

Come on down, it’s you’re new kitchen! 🤣

Pick ONE… but choose wisely 😏👇

•New kitchen
•Luxury car
•Dream boat

But let’s be real… the kitchen is where everything happens. Morning coffee, late night talks, hosting, memories…this isn’t just a space, it’s the heart of your home.

So… what’s it gonna be?

Comment your pick ⬇️ (no cheating 😅)

Most people choose countertops based on looks… not durability 👀

Here’s the truth (ranked from least → most durable):

4️⃣ Quartz – low maintenance, but not the toughest
3️⃣ Granite – timeless and heat resistant
2️⃣ Quartzite – natural beauty with serious strength
1️⃣ Dekton – as close to indestructible as it gets 👑

In high-end kitchens, the details matter—and so do the materials you don’t have to worry about later.

If you want selections that actually last (and look incredible), that’s exactly what we do at Blanc & Noir Interiors ✨

Which one would you chose?👇

Our client’s basement bathroom renovation proves contrast can still feel calm.

Green cabinetry, bold black + white tile, and a monochromatic shower create a serene space that helps you reset and “take a deep breath” before the day begins. 🚿🌿

3 ways we added contrast while keeping it peaceful:
• Grounded the space with rich green cabinetry
• Used black + white tile for playful but balanced contrast
• Kept the shower monochromatic for a spa-like, calming finish

Ready to turn your bathroom into a space that “takes your breath away”?

A new year, a refreshed vision, a new me. Life has been pulling, shifting, and guiding me toward growth…and now, I’m stepping into this next chapter with intention and joy.

I’ve moved, recreated, and embraced how powerful it is to surround yourself with beauty and energy that supports growth. Creating space for yourself isn’t indulgent, it’s essential. It’s where you breathe, reflect, and bloom.

Sometimes endings are necessary to welcome new creations. A new creation begins where the old has ended. 🌸

This feels like a reintroduction—not just to the world, but to myself and my business. Here’s to bold beginnings, thriving in spaces that inspire, and celebrating every step forward.
