The Crimson Studio (designed by Bodes Studio) shows us how contemporary living can take on a deeper hue. This apartment studio in Cemagi, Bali, is beautifully restrained. Charcoal walls and polished concrete floors create a calm, architectural base; red marble and wine-toned accents bring emotion into every corner. The space feels like a dialogue between shadow and light. Let’s walk through it.
The foyer of The Crimson Studio sets the tone the moment you walk in: dark, quiet, and incredibly composed. There’s no clutter here, no unnecessary detail fighting for attention. Matte cabinetry blends seamlessly with the walls. Simultaneously, soft underlighting beneath the floating bench feels almost cinematic.
As you move toward the kitchen, the tone shifts just slightly. The deep neutrals stay, but now they’re joined by warmth: a slab of mauve-red marble stretching across the backsplash, picking up soft gold light from the concealed LED strip above. The countertop feels sculptural, supported by thick wooden legs that anchor the space. Velvet bar stools in a muted wine tone bring a soft contrast to the solid surfaces.
The bedroom at The Crimson Studio is beautifully minimal. A boucle bed anchors the space, paired with soft linen bedding and floor-to-ceiling drapes that filter natural light. Warm neutrals replace the bolder tones. This helps create a serene contrast to the rest of the apartment. A woven pendant casts a golden glow beside the bed, which adds texture against the matte black wall. Subtle red accents on the sculptural feature wall tie the space back to the studio’s signature palette.
The bathroom at The Crimson Studio is a bold mix of texture and light. Deep red marble walls and a translucent crimson tub create a moody retreat. A cylindrical illuminated sink and matte black fixtures add sculptural contrast. At the same time, rough stone surfaces ground the space. This bathroom is dramatic yet balanced!
