Bali Interior Design

According to Living Spaces Interior Designer Brynna Evans, "Balinese interior design emphasizes natural materials, open spaces, and a connection to the outdoors." To get the look, she continues, go for "wood, stone, and bamboo to create a serene atmosphere." Carvings, statues, and greenery also contribute to a sense of harmony.

Bali interior design emphasizes spaces with windows or open-air rooms. For a natural feel, Brynna says to go with "greenery, and Balinese art, and features like fountains or ponds to create a calming ambiance."

Bali style architecture is characterized by the use of natural materials. Balinese buildings often feature thatched roofs made from alang-alang grass, layouts that encourage airflow, and carvings with woodwork and that tell stories of mythology. The architecture also includes pavilions, also known as "bale," which are structures used for relaxation, and courtyards, which are central spaces that serve as gathering areas.

A typical house in Bali often consists of pavilions or "bale" spread across a compound, connected by pathways and surrounded by gardens. Each pavilion serves a different function, such as living, sleeping, and cooking. The homes are designed to blend with the natural environment, featuring:

• Natural Materials: Wood, bamboo, and stone are used throughout the home.
• Decorative Elements: Intricate carvings, statues, and traditional Balinese artwork adorn the spaces.
• Lush Gardens: Plants and greenery are integrated into the design, both indoors and outdoors.
