Buying furniture in Bali isn't a matter of heading to one big department store. The island's scene runs on boutique showrooms and workshops turning out handcrafted, often custom-made pieces — and solid teak dining tables start at around IDR 15 million (roughly £700) if you know where to look. A new guide to the island's 14 best furniture stores breaks it down by neighbourhood and by what you're actually shopping for.
Kerobokan is the densest cluster. Warisan, an international brand with Bali as its home base, works in wood, rattan, stone and shells, ranging from rustic to contemporary (its four-poster beds get a special mention). Lio Collection, a family business that relocated to the island in 2005, is the go-to for rattan and bamboo, plus reclaimed teak and antiques. Balquisse Living acts as a one-stop shop, housing four brands under designer Zohra Boukhari — the woman behind the interiors of Bisma Eight, DaLa Spa and Balique restaurant. DC Habitat covers coastal, vintage, Scandinavian and industrial styles, while Craft District rounds out the area.
For outdoor pieces, two names stand out. BLOOM in Seminyak pairs German design with handwoven production at its own factory in Semarang, Central Java, and its client list includes Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Hilton and Disney cruise ships. Latif Living, with showrooms in Sanur and Seminyak, makes everything in-house from FSC-certified teak and UV-protected rope.
Want something made to order? Jezz Living in Denpasar has been at it since 1990 and plants trees with every purchase through its Do-Nature initiative. Hatiku Indonesia in Sanur works in leather, rope and bamboo by appointment. Italian designer Carlo Pessina's Sanur showroom takes a bolder line, incorporating coconut shells, pearls and tree bark into avant-garde pieces.
Elsewhere: The Showroom Bali in Canggu nails the minimalist Pinterest aesthetic; Rüsters in Ubud combines natural-fibre furniture with coffee and rice paddy views; Vinoti Living operates out of Bali Galeria mall in Kuta and Renon; and Soo Santai in Seminyak sells sun- and water-resistant bean bags, including a floating version for the pool.
Why does this matter to travellers? Plenty of visitors come to Bali intending to ship a container of furniture home, and these showrooms cater to exactly that. Others just want to furnish a villa rental or pick up one statement piece. Either way, the practical info is all here: addresses, opening hours (most operate roughly 9am–6pm, some closed Sundays), and a clear sense of which shop suits which style and budget. Free design consultations and island-wide delivery are common, so even a holiday shopper can walk out with a plan.
