MILANA BAHBOUT
PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
My love for design began as a young child and was fostered by my parents, a civil engineer and a carpenter. While traveling the world competing in tennis at age 9, I learned to escape from my high expectations childhood into the world of art and imagination. By the age of 14 I was able to draft my first design; my childhood bedroom.
Years later, an opportunity led me to study computer engineering for several years, but in the end, life steered me back to my true destiny. I left my home country to pursue my interior architecture passion at San Diego State University, where I received a full athletic scholarship in tennis.
The love for art and design grew stronger and allowed me to express my nurtured strength of creativity and problem solving. Throughout the years, I have gained first-hand knowledge in various materials such as metal work, furniture making, and tile and stone design. This allowed me to apply my knowledge while designing for my clients and truly understand material implications.
For over a decade, I have established a specialized knowledge in the design industry while working for top design firms, custom drapery and tile and stone showrooms. This led me to have a special professional connection with a vast variety of vendors and create seamless operations for my clients at Milana Designs.
Regardless of the project, my goal is to create a space that is both functional and unique to each individual-the-one-of-a-kind-oasis.
Milana saved us. We had a very unexpected (and stressful) kitchen renovation due to water damage and needed help with the layout design. She was gracious, creative, and supportive. She was able to help us cut corners where it was possible to keep the costs down at a time when all prices were rising quickly. The kitchen turned out better than we could have ever imagined.

I really enjoyed working with Milana. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable in her field, she was efficient, professional, and a perfectionist. What impressed me the most was that she was willing to think out of the box, therefore coming up with unique and breathtaking designs. She listened to my needs/ideas and executed them perfectly, beyond what I thought possible. I highly recommend Milana and look forward to working with her soon again.

Milana was helping us redesign our Master Bathroom when we discovered she had designed our favorite bathroom at the SF Decorator Showcase. We were so thrilled with her sleek design of our bathroom that we asked her to help us with our downstairs powder room. Extremely knowledgeable and with a sharp eye, Milana works hard to give her clients what they need and goes above and beyond. She is wonderful to work with; even the fabricator we're working with sings her praises, as do we!
