East Meets West Balinese Retreat is more than just bricks and walls; it’s a canvas where dreams and cherished memories unfold. It harmoniously combines the tranquil ambiance of Balinese serenity with the vibrant charm of Peranakan-Moroccan cultures, creating a unique emotional haven.
To create this atmosphere, we selected colors, textures, and materials like natural tones, dark wood vinyl floors, dark wood
cabinets, light wood accents, off-white hues, and lively Peranakan colors create a harmonious blend that exudes warmth and cultural richness.
The house is a daily Balinese-inspired getaway, a place to rest after work, and a never-ending vacation. It also houses our huge figurine and collectible collection in a dust-free and easy-to-maintain display. Unique details define our space. Natural rattan introduces the outdoors inside, fluted panel walls pay homage to Balinese wooden plank walls, between the living room and kitchen, circular floor tiles create smooth transitions.
A distinctive handcrafted Peranakan tile backsplash in the kitchen pays vibrant homage to tradition. The centerpiece is a magnificent curved display shelf, a lavish showcase that shows off figurines from the outside. Inside, it converts into an open wardrobe and storage for bulkier objects with three drawers. The display cabinet is accessible from the i nside by removing the panel with appropriate tools.
Our design journey succeeded despite obstacles like having to precisely create the curved cabinet, getting the curve glass from abroad, locating one-of-a-kind handcrafted Peranakan tiles, and locating handwoven natural rattan. Functionality was paramount. The curved display seamlessly showcases our figurines while providing substantial storage. The flow between styles enriches our daily lives.
In summary, this home is where dreams and passions thrive. Creative solutions and challenges overcome have woven depth into our home’s emotional tapestry, offering a refuge where we escape, unwind, cherish our collection, and live our dreams daily.
