Studio Spotlight: Blanc Marine in Montreal

Tucked into the heart of Montreal’s design scene, Blanc Marine is a studio that effortlessly embodies the quiet power of restraint. Known for their refined, monochromatic palettes and calming, layered spaces, the mother-daughter duo behind the firm—Sylvie and Mélanie Millé—have cultivated a signature aesthetic that feels both rooted and elevated.

At Blanc Marine, the name says it all. “Blanc” speaks to their love of serene, tonal whites, and “Marine” evokes a softness and sense of place that often feels coastal—but never kitschy. Their interiors are rich in texture and grounded in timeless materials: raw linen, natural wood, aged stone, plaster walls, and soft lighting that always feels intentional. Think French countryside meets contemporary minimalism, with a soulful twist.

What sets their work apart is the way it feels lived-in from the start. Every project carries an air of quiet luxury—spaces that whisper rather than shout. Their designs often balance antique accents with modern forms, creating that sought-after harmony between old and new. Whether it’s a sprawling home in the Eastern Townships or a city townhouse in Montreal, their approach remains consistent: thoughtful, restrained, and deeply personal.

Blanc Marine is more than just a visual style—it’s a feeling. Walking into one of their spaces feels like a deep exhale. There’s a stillness to it, a clarity. It’s the kind of design that doesn’t try too hard, and yet leaves a lasting impression.

If you're drawn to interiors that feel soulful and serene, this studio is one to keep on your radar. Blanc Marine reminds us that beauty lives in the quiet details—and that a neutral space, when done with care, is never boring.
