Do you love the tropics? Tropical interior style is all about comfort, with earthy and soothing hues inspired by natural elements such as forests and earth.

For example, this homeowner has placed an outdoor swing crafted from teak wood so that families and friends can enjoy the cool evening breeze!

#1. Adding In Greeneries
Make your space cozy and warm with some greeneries! Plants are always a fast and easy way to make you feel closer to nature. But of course, not everyone in Singapore is blessed with a large outdoor space or balcony. If you have a small outdoor area, place a slatted wall feature where you can hook your potted plants vertically without taking up any walking space.

#2. Natural Material
If you have a long and narrow balcony (which is the case for most balconies in Singapore!), go for a teak wooden outdoor bench! Teak are known for their ability to weather through the various outdoor elements, be it rain or shine. Using natural materials such as teak will help to add a tropical touch to your balcony.
#3. Neutral Colors
While choosing your outdoor furniture in Singapore, remember to pay attention to the colors. Avoid neon colors and go for neutral colors and natural hues instead! Worried about the lack of vibrant colors? Introduce some flowering plants to turn your outdoor balcony into a bright garden!
#4. Comfortability
Being outdoors can get pretty hot, or pretty cold in Singapore’s weather where it either rains or shines. While you’re focused on creating a tropical look, remember to consider the practicality too! This swing is the perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics. With a canopy, it provides shade from the outdoor elements!
#5. Patterns of wood grains
If you have a large outdoor space, add a matching teak dining table for your bbq dinners or just for a chill and relaxing time with your family and friends under the stars! With its unique wood grains, it adds another layer of texture for that Tropical vibe.
