One of the good things about living here is that when you’re home decorating, you can go ‘tropical house style’ and it fits right in. We’re not talking flamingos and bamboo, though they’re always a possibility! For Singapore homes, you can explore using cool neutral colours, local products, indoor/outdoor themes and natural textures. Here are some great stores for tropical style inspiration – for both furniture and accessories.

Just Anthony – creating Singapore homes with an oriental flair
Since the 1970s, Just Anthony’s huge 15,000-square-foot showroom has been the place to head for an eclectic array of Chinese antiques and accessories. It carries a lovely range of ceramic drum stools that can be used outdoors – perfect for our tropical weather. The stools are multi-purpose as they’re great as outside seats, side tables or even flower pot stands.
Prefer to stay indoors? Why not bring the outdoors in! The hand-painted room dividers depict garden scenes and come in a variety of fabulous floral designs. Besides being a room divider, they can also be hung like a large painting, providing a vibrant focal point for your room.
