Who + What + How: The Origin Story
Kellie Smith and Melanie Hönig met over wine, window treatments, and a box of salted chocolates. Both were recently married, both constantly creating. Their shared passions? Travel, color, and making things beautiful. Soon they were crafting luxurious, colorful home decor – the pieces they couldn’t find for their own projects. The result is SmithHönig, a celebratory mix of color, culture and pattern.
They're Two Like-Minded Rebels
On some things, Smith and Hönig will never agree. (Food, for instance, and curse words.) On other things they're always in sync. They're not interested in perfection, the easy answer, or a daily routine. They crave color, creativity, maybe even a little chaos. They love a pattern with some intentional imperfection...a hint of age or the maker's hand.
What is SmithHönig? A colorful, modern vibe informed by historic design references. A celebratory blur of cultures. A rock-and-roll soundtrack.
How to "SmithHönig"
Mix a modern industrial tartan with a Congolese kuba, or an exploded digital floral with an English-inspired bird print. Discover a Moroccan pillow designed in Italy or a paisley with intentional digital glitches. Cover your walls with Japanese shibori, without leaving a mark. Simply start with your favorite SmithHönig originals, then keep building joy, one layer at a time.
