How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your outdoor space 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.
- 3Give each zone a job and a boundary: an outdoor rug under the lounge, planters flanking the dining table.
- 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
- Solid teak and suar wood
- Volcanic stone and river pebbles
- Rattan, bamboo and alang-alang thatch
- Terrazzo and polished concrete
- Hand-carved wooden panels and doors
Furniture to look for
- Carved teak daybed with cream cushions
- Stone bathtub or river-stone basin
- Four-poster bed with flowing white canopy
- Low teak coffee table on a natural fiber rug
- Carved wooden screen or room divider
Mistakes to avoid
- Treating the space as an afterthought with no zones, so it collects random furniture and rarely gets used.
- Using indoor materials outside - one wet season destroys unsealed wood, steel and cotton fabric.
- Forgetting shade and wind protection, so the space is comfortable only a few hours a day.
Budget tips
- Define zones with gravel, mulch or an outdoor rug before buying furniture - boundaries are free.
- Repaint and re-oil existing wood and metal furniture instead of replacing it.
- Container gardens in grouped pots deliver landscaping impact without landscaper prices.
FAQ
Does Bali work in a outdoor space?
Yes, with adaptation. Bali is not the most common choice for a outdoor space, but its palette — led by Teak Brown (#6B4A2F) — and materials like solid teak and suar wood can work well if you keep the layout practical and use the style mainly in finishes and decor.
What colors should I use for a Bali outdoor space?
The core palette is Teak Brown #6B4A2F, Volcanic Stone Gray #7A756B, Frangipani Cream #F2EBDD, Jungle Leaf Green #3E5C3A, Terracotta Earth #A9603E. Use Teak Brown as the dominant color, Volcanic Stone Gray for secondary surfaces, and keep Jungle Leaf Green for accents only.
Can I see my own outdoor space in Bali style before committing?
Yes. Take a photo of your outdoor space in the RivAI iPhone app, choose the Bali style, and you get a photorealistic preview in about 30 seconds on the Standard tier. RivAI is free to try, so you can compare Bali with a few other styles before you buy paint or furniture.
Can Bali style work in a regular apartment?
Yes, by focusing on its essentials: teak-toned wood, sheer white curtains, stone-textured accessories, plants and candlelight. A balcony with a daybed, plants and drapery can deliver the indoor-outdoor feeling even in a small space.
