FAQ
Please check through the list below to find an answer to your query:
Do you have a physical shop or showroom?
We aim to provide the best of Balinese home decor at reasonable prices; for this reason, we do not have any physical presence in Singapore (paying a rent would mean selling at high prices).

If the item is out of stock, you will automatically see a "PRE-ORDER" button below the image. When clicking the button, you will see the expected delivery date to your home. You can then choose to proceed with your purchase as usual. We have one container coming to Singapore every 2-3 months.
Where is my order shipped from?
All our products are made in Indonesia but we are based in Singapore (a stone's throw from Bali), and so is our warehouse. All orders are therefore shipped from our warehouse in Singapore.

The warehouse is closed on Sunday. If the order is placed on Sunday, it will be delivered on the next Monday.
Can I choose the day or time of my delivery?

We can arrange it for a fee varying from S$ 20 (for small items) to S$ 150 (for very bulk items such as bed headboards).
How is the shipping cost calculated?
We offer free shipping in Singapore with no minimum spending required, except for wood mirrors and large beds headboards. The delivery of wood mirrors is charged SGD 45 flat, as they are considered fragile items and require special packing and a delivery by truck.
If you reside in Singapore, you can also choose to pick up your order from our warehouse without any charge. It is however required to set an appointment with us prior to pick up.
For other countries, we calculate the shipping cost based on the total weight and / or volume of the products that your ordered. The shipping cost will be clearly indicated upon check-out.
How can I see what will be the shipping fee?
Simply go through the check-out process. You will know how much the delivery charges you have to pay right before entering your payment details. You will be able to choose not to go ahead with the transaction should you find the shipping fee too expensive.
How do I request a return?
To initiate a return, simply write to us (support@kulturedeco.com).
My item was damaged on arrival
You must inform us within 3 working days if your item was damaged when you received it. Please send us some photos ((support@kulturedeco.com) and we will investigate what happened with the courier. We will not be able to offer any refund or replacements if the 3-day deadline has passed.
How do I hang my wood panel?
Most of our panels come with one or several hooks which are located on the back side. If no hook is visible, you can consider one of these options to hang your beautiful wall decor:
- 3M hooks: hooks from Command (3M) can support items weighing up to 3 kg
- nails: if you are able to put nails in your wall, we recommend them for pieces heavier than 3 kg. Simply nail through the hook that is at the back of your panel
- you can also order a bracket (hanging kit) from us if your panel weights more than 6 kg.
How to set up my bed headboard?
With most bed, it is possible to simply tuck the bed headboard between the wall and your bed. For beds that have a very low frame, you might need to secure the bed headboard against your wall to ensure it does not tilt. To do so, we recommend using a bracket, which we sell here.
Below is a video of how to set-up your bed headboard in few minutes:
How to care for my MDF item?
Simply use a soft brush to dust the carvings every now and then. Do not use any detergents or hot water, as we use water paint (less chemicals), and it could come off. Do not rub the edges and corners of the panels are these areas are particularly fragile and prone to get chipped off.
To avoid mould from occurring, keep your item in a well ventilated area. In the event where mould is visible, simply wipe it clean with a cloth wet with a mix of warm water and a few drops of bleach.
Can MDF panels be hung outdoor?
MDF is not resistant to direct rain or sun exposure, it should be sheltered if kept outside.
