In Singapore, outdoor furniture have to be tough. The furniture have to be sturdy enough to withstand humid conditions, the wet and dry seasons typical in a tropical country.
So if you’re thinking of getting some outdoor furniture, here are a few suggestions we have for you:
1. Wicker outdoor furniture
It’s comfortable, looks good and lasts years. For even added comfort, you could put some cushions on the chairs for those times when you want a quick nap.
What’s also great about wicker furniture is that you can easily wipe stains away unlike if you sit down on a cotton divan or couch. Spills immediately seep into the upholstery and stay there forever.
2. Wooden chairs and tables
Many go for the traditional appeal of wooden furniture when they finally pick furniture for their outdoor space. Some choose tribal designs, and live with a whole set of wooden benches that look like something straight out of Dali Salvador’s paintings. That’s cool too.
3. Plastic bench or mono block chairs.
There are charming plastic benches so don’t think all plastic benches exhibit utilitarian and soulless looks. If you just need outdoor chairs that won’t break under constant exposure to the sun or rain though, then mono-block chairs are your best choice.
4. Hammock
If the afternoon breeze is just right and you have that hammock under the shade, this can be a great napping spot for you and the family. Sleeping out in the open air with a hammock should be on your list of top 100 things you love to do.
5. Daybed under a shade
This sounds great. You could even try to improve on it by adding pillows, a cot and some blankets, then adding gauzy white curtains along the side. It’s sort of like a daybed you often see in resorts. Just make sure you design the space with a way to cover it up so the curtains and pillows don’t get soaked when it rains.
6. Rocking chair or lazy boy
A rocking chair or lazy boy is the perfect chair for outside or somewhere along the porch, especially if you love to stare out into the garden every afternoon from that spot. The cool afternoon breeze and back and forth motion is sure to lull you to a soothing sleep.
7. Stone bench
These are nice to have around the garden so when there are parties, your guests are free to have that space to themselves.
