What to buy in Bali: an interior stylist’s guide

By Guest Poster •

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Stylist Heidi Albertiri from The Life Style Edit shares what to buy in homewares mecca Bali.

We have all heard of the must go places to visit whilst in Bali and there are many. In the world of interiors and styling, Bali has definitely made its mark with its contribution to beautiful interior pieces and spaces.

When faced with the plethora of wares that are on offer in Bali, it’s good to know just what things you should be honing in on. As an interior stylist, Bali to me is interiors heaven. I have heart palpitations when I see the wares on offer!

The trick to shopping in Bali is to take a closer look; once you see through the layers of the not-so-hot, there are hidden gems to be found.

I always make sure I travel light when I head to Bali and my first stop is generally the local flea market to grab a few floaty kaftans, which I tend to lie in for most of the trip. You can use the extra room in your luggage for a few select homewares!

My hit list of what to buy when in Bali

Cushions:  I love the variety and different styles in Bali. Purchase without the inserts and they flat pack perfectly. The variation of styles is fantastic and you will always find something to match your own personal style.

Beaded bowls, baskets and trays:  I love handmade beaded bowls. They are the perfect size to bring home and you can buy them singularly or in a set. Everywhere you go you will find little baskets, trays and storage boxes. They are the perfect little addition to your vignettes at home and come in various sizes. Fill them with your smalls when packing to save room.

Ceramics:  There are a few ceramics stores in Bai and they are a must visit on my trips. I always love buying a piece to add to my collection at home. From little jugs to bowls, I always find one piece that captures my heart.

Last but definitely not least, I always make sure I leave with a beautiful item of clothing. With so many wonderful fashion designers calling Bali home, it is easy to discover some wonderful new items to add to the wardrobe.

But wait!

When returning home, I always declare everything I have at Customs. It is so important due to the different materials they use in Bali. I have never had a problem bringing my goodies back but it always better to be safe than sorry.

Read WHERE to shop in Bali.

–If you have always wanted to go shopping in Bali for homewares and fashion but just don’t know where to start, you can join the team from The Life Style Edit on their shopping and design tours. The next ones are 3-to-11 June or 4-to-12 October 2017.

A home that got all its extra special details AFTE A home that got all its extra special details AFTER handover with stunning results!

When Emma Fuller built her family home five years ago, she went with the ‘basic’ package with a view to elevating the spaces in a more budget-friendly manner down the line. Knowing that she couldn’t afford her entire wish list upfront, she made allowances within the plans so that she could add all the special details later.

“Although the builder could have incorporated every detail we asked for, we knew it would have blown our budget, but that didn’t mean I was going to let the dream go,” says @hamptonsinhighfields 

Patience and hard work have definitely paid off and today on the blog we are showing you how she did it from adding a fireplace, bench seat, wallpaper, french doors, a mudroom, built in bookcases, fretwork, kitchen island trim, IKEA wardrobes and more!

Pop over to the blog via link in bio to read our chat with him.

“I believe in the democratisation of good design,” says Darren, who wanted the rugs to be affordable. “It was very important to me that they were ethically made, and they are all Good Weave certified ensuring that no child labour is involved in their creation."

▶️ Swipe for before! Bathroom of my dreams 😍

Overcrowded with fixtures and with very little natural light, this main bathroom was in need of an update. The existing window was removed and replaced with custom steel bi-fold doors with clear glass above and ribbed for privacy below. “They provide an abundance of natural light and connection to the beautiful garden and incredible view. Indoor or outdoor bathing is now optional!” says Darren Genner of @studio__minosa 

Head to the blog via link in bio to see this home's KITCHEN transformation.

IKEA laundry GOALS! Swipe to see the enviable bank IKEA laundry GOALS! Swipe to see the enviable bank of cupboards opposite and the very uninspiring before!

We love this makeover by @hamptons_inspired_ 

Moving the back door and replacing it with a French door to add natural light was a game changer but adding all that storage, for school uniforms, her Dyson, ironing board and much much more, made the biggest difference!

"We love the laundry so much that we no longer have an internal door on it. We leave it open to allow the natural light to pour in the hallway and it’s great being able to access the wall of cabinetry without having a door in the way. We couldn’t be happier with it all.”

All the finer details and where everything is from on the blog now via link in bio. Enjoy!

    The interior’s stylist list for Bali has no information at all on any actual shops in Bali? YOu just list cushions baskets and clothes as things to buy and advertise shopping trip with a stylist? Pretty disappointing content.

      We actually requested this specific article because we’ve already done a couple previously on where to shop in Bali. You can find them if you search.

    I agree with your reader Lee.
    I was dissapointed too.
    If that was your intention, the at least provide a link of recommended reading like other sites do ..

      Hi Frances. We chose to run this article about what rather than where to buy as we have already done the latter twice, but I’ve added the link for you at the bottom now. Jen

    I’ve always wanted to buy home decors every time I travel abroad, but I’m not sure about the customs processes.

    But thanks for sharing this and for including the link on where to shop in Bali. Perfect for our trip in this beautiful island next month!

    Hi Jen, I so agree with you, outgoing case was 18k, coming back managed to get 3 large beaded chandeliers, 1 large shell rafia basket, my favourite long lasting incense sticks and 2 shell displays on stands in case bringing up to 28k. Kimsoo is my favourite shop in the world to shop. Xxx
