What are the interiors in Bali style like?

Bali is an Indonesian island located in the archipelago of the Lesser Sunda Islands. It is considered the most beautiful island in Indonesia and has been hailed by tourists as a paradise on earth. It is famous for its golden beaches, clear waters, exotic flora and fauna, and unique culture. The interior design style of Bali clearly draws from the climate of the Indonesian island. It emphasizes natural materials such as raw stone, exotic wood, and rattan, handcrafted accessories, and a large number of tropical plants. The color base consists of earth tones: warm beiges, browns, and grays, as well as greens: from delicate olive to deep shades. They shape an idyllic, calm atmosphere. A key aspect of Bali's style is the balance between minimalism and coziness.

How to arrange a bathroom in Bali style – where to start?

The Bali trend works perfectly in the bathroom, transforming it into a private, luxurious SPA zone. The first step to a successful arrangement is a good plan. Start with a simple division of the space into wet zones, namely the shower and bathtub areas, and dry zones: sink, WC, and… relaxation. If you have a larger bathroom, it is really worth planning a small relaxation area – with seating and plenty of plants. 

A must-have in medium and large bathrooms are modern freestanding bathtubs, preferably installed on a raised platform or on a wooden floor resembling a terrace. In a smaller room, a walk-in shower will work better. This modern and elegant solution features a barrier-free entrance and a glass wall instead of a traditional cabin. When planning a walk-in shower without a shower tray, with a linear drain, it is important to maintain the appropriate slope so that water can drain freely.

Accessories that allow you to feel the Bali atmosphere through various senses

Among the accessories in Bali-style bathrooms, plants reign supreme - they improve the microclimate and bring an authentically tropical character to the interior. For bathrooms, it is advisable to choose species that tolerate high humidity, temperature fluctuations, and lower light intensity, such as: pothos (epipremnum), ferns, sansevieria, monstera, and orchids. It is worth using transparent pots with drainage and permeable mixtures to monitor the condition of the roots and reduce the risk of rot. Accessories and textiles are essential in the bathroom. In this Bali-themed setting, natural fiber towels and mats, stone or wooden cosmetic accessories, or rattan or bamboo baskets will work well. It is important that the accessories are easy to clean and do not absorb moisture - this is the basis for hygiene, aesthetics, and durability.
