Bilal Rehman, a 23-year-old luxury interior designer and content creator who has skyrocketed to social media fame for his unapologetic and comedic style, takes on design and spaces.
Rehman is leading the next generation of luxury interior design. Featured on INSIDER.COM, Buzzfeed, and The New York Times for his viral content, Bilal is next gearing up to launch his e-commerce store where he will sell home goods to make any space feel more luxurious.
From an interior design intern to CEO of his own company in only 4 years, he is ready to impress the world with his talents and branch out to create a full fledged lifestyle brand. We would love to set up an interview with you and Bilal to discuss his unique take on design, tips for styling the interiors of your home or business, and what’s next for the young artist.
As CEO of his Design Studio & Gallery based out of Houston, Texas, Bilal has already shown his skills and talented eye for design in his numerous commercial and residential design projects. Bilal takes an all-encompassing approach, focusing on every detail of the space to make sure it is cohesive and tells a story. Bilal’s commercial projects have included plastic surgery offices that strived for a less “medical office” feel, law offices meant to stand out and have a stylish atmosphere, and retail stores that promised to leave their customers feeling at the height of luxury.
Growing up with immigrant parents (dad is Pakistani and mom is Lebanese), Bilal was expected to pursue a career in law, medicine, or something of the sort. He began his college career at the University of Houston majoring in computer engineering, but found that he hated the subject and quickly switched to the much more creative major of interior design. Surprisingly, he wasn’t thrilled about this major either as he discovered you couldn’t learn the intricacies of interior design in a textbook. He was learning such things as ADA laws, building policies, etc. and craved to learn the creative side of the industry. He switched his major for a third time to pursue a business degree and began searching for an interior design internship so he could get hands-on experience in the field. While it was a struggle for him to find the internship, he finally landed one at an interior design company where he worked his way up from intern to senior level designer in only 4 years. In October of 2022, Bilal decided to launch his own company, giving him the creative freedom he desired
Bilal was active on social media, creating content surrounding his passion for interior design and using it to promote his business. In January of 2022 he decided to bring on his younger sister Maya Rehman to help with socials. She developed a brand new strategy and suddenly Bilal blew up, going viral on his socials for his genuine and comedic attitude. He credits his sister’s natural marketing talent for getting the word out about his business all over the internet and is thrilled to work hand-in-hand with her everyday as a dynamic brother-sister duo. With over 740k followers across all major social media platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), they create content that creatively promotes and grows the Bilal Rehman Studio.
Bilal spends most of his time working on design projects, brainstorming for the future, and creating content for his business, as he loves his job and never views it so much as “work.” He is also passionate about fashion, as a person with a great eye for design whether it be in a space on a person’s body. He can also normally be found shopping, or spending time with his family and partner of 3 years, as well as his two cats and two dogs.
