How to recreate Balinese style at home in Dubai

There is no shortage of inspiration to be found in Bali - its ancient temples and palaces, lush jungles and terraced rice fields make it an island of unparalleled beauty. Whilst relocating to Bali might not be a realistic life choice, bringing the essence of Bali into your home in Dubai is definitely a possibility and we are here to help! This interior change requires a blend of influences from nature and culture, and there are a few key elements to start with. Here are our top tips and tricks on how to re-create Balinese style at home.  

1. Get that greenery. Allowing the outdoors to harmonize with the indoors is the first essential step for channelling the serenity of a paradise like Bali.
2. The Indonesians are also known for incorporating natural materials into their furniture. Opt for a solid teak coffee table or a one-of-a-kind driftwood side table, both of which we can make to measure for your home at the Wood Culture workshop.
3. Add some texture to your wooden furniture. Let us help you re-create crafted artisan wares, from carved wood furniture—like intricate doors, daybeds, buffets, and folding room dividers—to decorative pieces that add dimension and texture to a wall.
4. Cabanas are an easy way to create an instant holiday feel in your own backyard. They are also ideal for a comfortable, open-air room that provides protection from the sun’s rays. We have day beds that can be purchased directly from our website or showroom – alternatively, if you are looking to cultivate something a little different, we can make your day bed dreams a reality with help from our talented workshop team.
5. Neutral and natural tones work really well when paired with lush plantings and bamboo screening. Natural bamboo is used a lot in Indonesia and can make for an easy and fast-growing living green wall.
6. Add to your Bali aesthetic with tropical-themed dinnerware and table settings. Wooden bowls, woven table runners and bamboo placemats can really enhance a holiday aesthetic when entertaining, or just enjoying an easy meal at home. Check out our cut off wooden serving boards, perfect for entertaining at home.
7. Get yourself some rattan furniture. This light and woven wood is very popular in Indonesia and can add character to any home. Check out our gorgeous rattan closet which we promise will add a touch of Bali to any bedroom.
8. Pot some plants! Perfect for both inside and out, add some greenery to your house and invest in some vibrant plants. Couple these with our baskets or planters from Wood Culture, the best way to cover up ugly plant pots.
