Sevens: Style Your Home in a Balinese Style

Embrace the beauty of nature and the great outdoors and get creative with styling your very own Balinese interior. Here we share some great finds from Sevens with top tips for styling a Balinese retreat.

Unlike other trending interior design styles, Balinese interiors pay homage to the beauty of the outdoors – as celebrated in Bali. Think bold and wild greenery, tropical plants and wildlife, and nature as an anchor to modern living.

By its very nature, Balinese style also incorporates a lot of natural materials such as wood, greenery, earthy ceramics, bamboo and more. With this style, there is also a deeper connection to the soul and a sense of spirituality that comes in part from keeping your choice in design and craftsmanship organic. Bali’s beloved Buddhas and spiritual figures often find central places within these interiors – as well as silhouettes in metals like gold and brass.

How to get the look?

If you want to create your own Balinese zen retreat at home, you have to incorporate both the soul and feeling of Bali into your design. Natural and organic materials are a top choice here. Natural wood will bring the beauty of the outdoors in and give your room a warm, welcoming presence. Greenery – whether in actual foilage and plants, or echoed in your choice of decor, wallpaper and artwork, will also give your space that deeper connection to the outdoors. Natural finishes and textiles like rattan, sisal and jute make for wonderful additions to a Balinese styled room. This can be in the form of rugs, throws, wall art, window treatments and more.

Create Balance

A Balinese room feels serene and not cluttered. It is never too busy but strikes the perfect balance between nature and humanity. It will therefore take careful planning to achieve this balance. The key is to plan ahead and introduce colour through accessories like art, soft furnishings and more.

Bring in pops of colour through your decor. Brighter elements and metallic accents are a great way to introduce colour without overwhelming your design. Also of great importance, think about your balance of spirituality — one central figure can be the heart to your whole home.

Choosing Woods

Natural woods are always a winner in this style. But where do you start? 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. Fill your home and outdoor areas with quality wooden furniture to embrace this trend.

Apart from wood, bamboo and cane are great choices to elevate your Balinese retreat. When all these elements work together, you can truly create your very own magical Balinese world.
