If you don’t already know, it’s a fact that Bali is paradise for furniture and homeware shoppers.

Trust us, we went there with empty luggages, and came back with them packed to the brim with homeware purchases. (Not even kidding – some intensely strategic packing was involved! ;P)

1. For lovers of Bamboo baskets and water hyacinth trays – Mercia Home Living

If you’ve been homeware shopping in Bali, you’ll surely come across shops selling these beautiful bamboo and seagrass baskets, nostalgic rattan chairs, doughnut-shaped fat pouffes and other home living items made of natural materials.

These are especially popular among those of us who love having #balivibes at home. Check out those water hyacinth trays and banana fibre stools!

We find them so therapeutic to look at and were super tempted to bring them home!

Although the items are a little pricy at Mercia, it’s still worth taking a look in case you find any hidden gems!

2. Tribal and brass home decor – Kara Home Living

There’s something about the way villas, hotels, and your favourite Canggu cafes are decorated. It’s boho, it’s charming, and it’s (for lack of a better word) just so “Bali”. It’s no wonder that when it comes to interior design, more and more people are turning to Bali as their source of inspiration!

Now you can bring back a piece of decor that will transform an area in your home into the Bali that you experienced and grew to love. Kara Home Living is the perfect place to pick up a few of these trinkets.

From candle holders to soap dishes, coasters and ornaments, you can customise your woodwork in whichever way you want – so that they are uniquely yours. Perfect for gifts!

I-Rewood is owned by Kalitimer Recycled Timber, a recycled Ulin ironwood decking and flooring factory in Bali. They collect Ulin from good quality boats, bridges or warehouses that are no longer in use, turning them into timbre flooring, ceiling, panelling and more.

When it’s a furniture and homeware shopping story, you know Toko Emporium has to be mentioned.

Well known for their selection of unique décor pieces from the oh-so-popular hand-carved water buffalo skulls, to intricately hand-beaded cushions (using a mixture of seashells and beads), you never know what you can expect to find here.

There are even amazing cowhide bar stools, and sculptures like these bronze ants to accentuate the little corners of your home.

If the theme for your home is eclectic, bohemian, or maybe minimalist with a sprinkling of the weird and wonderful – Toko Emporium is where you need to come.

7. It’s a beachy, vintage treasure hunt – Tamara Danielle

Ahh Tamara Danielle. Where do we begin? First, we only stumbled on this treasure of a find while strolling down the main streets of Ubud. And interestingly enough, a visit to Tamara Danielle is akin to a treasure hunt.

There’s just so much on offer, and all of them have a certain charm you can’t resist. You can’t help but to discipline yourself, and sift through every single item, until you find that one thing you simply have to have.

A mixture of vintage and eclecticism, Tamara Danielle feels very much like they have anything you could possibly want, if you’d like your home to look a little like that hip café you love.

There are many vintage beachy signboards with the most amazing quotes, or even old-school posters such as the ones by Coke, Campbell and more.

All we have left to say is – let the hunt begin.

10. Bring nature into your home – Focus Design

If we had been smart enough to bring an extra luggage, we most certainly would’ve gotten one of these really beautiful mouth blown glass globes back. (Of course, you may ship your purchases back home, but we were in a bit of a hurry!)

We were driving past while on our way to Ubud, and saw this shop. Naturally, we simply had to stop our driver so we could check it out. Stepping into this warehouse/showroom off the side of the road, felt a little surreal with the glass globes hanging almost delicately off tree stumps and branches.

With the sun shining down through the glass showing off the colours and incredible designs, it was hard not to fall in love with these works of art.

What made it even better, was how they turned some of those glass globes into the prettiest fish bowls I’ve ever seen! (I was already imagining that perfect set-up in my apartment. x.x)

If you love having some elements of nature (i.e., water and wood) in your home, then you’ll adore these fluid designs (glass globes melted over tree stumps and branches) – and you really, really have to come here.

PS: Shopping at Focus Design means shopping at supplier prices as you’ll be shopping directly from the manufacturing source!
