How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your garden in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Teak Brown (#6B4A2F) for furniture, beams, carved panels.
- 3Divide the garden into zones with different moods: dining terrace, quiet bench corner, productive beds.
- 4Bring in solid teak and suar wood and volcanic stone and river pebbles — the two signature materials of Bali design.
- 5Add one statement piece: carved teak daybed with cream cushions.
- 6Finish with jungle leaf green (#3E5C3A) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials

Mistakes to avoid
- Planting for the size at purchase, not maturity - shrubs that reach 2 meters do not belong 50 cm apart.
- Ignoring sun aspect and forcing shade plants into full sun, where they scorch and sulk.
- Skipping soil preparation, so plants struggle in compacted or sandy ground no matter how much you water.
Budget tips
- Start perennials from seed or division - a seed packet costs a fraction of the same plants in nursery pots.
- Divide hostas, daylilies and ornamental grasses every spring and replant the splits for free.
- Buy small - 1-liter pots establish faster than large specimens and cost a third as much.
