How To Create Your Most Exotic Balinese Style Home

From an exotic place where few people wouldn't love to escape to, Balinese style is a unique and rather magical balance of lush colours, raw materials and high-quality craftsmanship. Originating from the "island of the gods", aesthetics and philosophies are flourishing in many spectacular homes and spaces all over the world.

1. What is Balinese style?

Balinese style incorporates the outdoors like no other interior decorating style and is grounded in nature — and unlike Scandinavian, British or even French nature, Bali is a place of wild greenery, tropical foliage and rich flora. This vibrancy is balanced with the calming yet elegant impact of pieces crafted also from nature — woods and bamboos and very earthy ceramics. And the magic that brings it all together is a sense of spirituality that comes in part from keeping your choice in design and craftsmanship organic and also spreading the aesthetics of Bali's beloved Buddhas and spiritual figures in all sizes, silhouettes and from materials from gold, brass and ceramic to wood.

2. How to Decorate your Home in Balinese Style

Think holistically when first incorporating Balinese style into your home, which doesn't mean that there is no spontaneity — and there is the heart of the balance: Balinese style never feels too busy, and always feels otherworldly even as such delight is taken in a mosaic of ideas and pieces all designed together. The key is to imagine and envision the mosaic and bring it to life as a whole. Let the colour come in with accessories — framed art, cushions, rugs and beautiful throws in soft wools and lush cotton — as well as natural elements, such as large, leafy plants and tropical flowers, whether alive or designer. Bring in solid, bright elements with gold and brass vases and sculptures. And think about your balance of spirituality — one central figure can be the heart to your whole home, or giving space in room corners, by couches and even on kitchen shelves.

3. How to Choose Wooden Pieces for Balinese Style

Solid woods such as teak and some gums are perfect for Balinese furniture and sculptures, from daybeds to coffee tables to glamorous stools that can double as works of art, placed in an outdoor patio or in the corner of a sun filled living room. There's also no need to be matchy matchy with wood tones and types: sun-kissed dark woods pair in the mosaic style beautifully with pines darkened by age or lacquer.

4. How to Use Bamboo and Cane

Use it everywhere, is the quick and the slow answer to where and when to bring bamboo and cane into your Balinese paradise. These materials are sisters and cousins and lovers in Balinese style. They are structural and decorative: insert a neat and obvious panel of lacquered bamboo poles into a grainy cement outside wall, or plant bamboo as a "wildflower" along the whole wall for texture and padding. Indulge in cane furniture for the kitchen and the sunroom and embrace it in accessories, from vases to framing for artwork.
