Modern design, Bali-inspired d\u00e9cor and chic details come together in this cosy seaside apartment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Twin sisters Che Peinke and Stacy Cheves are the owners of Bali\u2019to Bungalow, a beautiful three-bedroom apartment in Ballito that they renovated together and rent out as a holiday home. With a muted palette and natural elements, the space is the perfect blend of tranquillity and style. We chatted to them about their design choices and how they achieved an aesthetic that\u2019s both elegant and comfortable.<\/p>\n

THE INSPIRATION<\/strong>
\nThe sisters shared a vision of creating a unique, welcoming space that offers travellers a home away from home. \u201cBoth of us are avid travellers, so we know the importance of finding comfortable, affordable, and unique places to stay,\u201d says Che. \u201cWe wanted to create a space that is not only functional and stylish but also filled with the warmth and personal touch often missing from traditional hotels and B&Bs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"A CALM PALETTE<\/strong>
\nChe and Stacy chose a soothing colour palette \u2013 muted neutrals dominate the space, from soft taupe and warm beiges to cool greys and crisp whites. They wanted to create a calm environment that would make it easy for their guests to relax. \u201cThe use of neutrals also enhances light and space,\u201d explains Che.<\/p>\n
