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

By Guest Poster •

FacebookPinWhatsAppEmailTweet

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.

@smartstoneaustralia's stunning Calacatta Viola sintered stone surface features throughout, making a bold statement while being durable enough to be used in the busiest areas.

Inspired by Puglia, Pino's (named after the owner's father) in Cronulla has a real seaside vibe. The Smartstone was also chosen for the outdoor tables due to its UV stability.

SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jas SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jasminemcclellanddesign delivered. And then some!

"With a keen eye for design, they wanted their main bathroom to feel calm, spa-like and elevated with more storage, better layout, and soft, layered textures in a neutral palette. Lighting was another big focus, with the goal of creating a space that felt luxurious enough to unwind in, preferably with a glass of champagne in the bath.”

Is it a yay or a nay for you?

    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
