We were initially looking for more traditional seating arrangements for our outdoor area, but we ended up finding décor pieces that were unique and also gave us different seating areas for different occasions. The space required more thought and planning, and the pieces we bought make the area feel more customised and whimsical.

I came across Woody Antique House while dining in the Dempsey area and was really excited to discover a mix of both traditional and modern Asian designs integrated with Western styles. They helped us curate several pieces that worked well together and helped us ensure that all of the pieces fit with our style and were great value for money.

We purchased two bamboo ladders, a carved wooden standing lamp, a teak root table, a drum-style side table, a traditional four-piece seating table, a moon bed, a hanging swing and some yellow ceramic drums. One of the more special pieces we found was a terracotta warrior that greets our guests at the door and really sets off the entranceway. These pieces were eclectic yet subtle and complemented both the internal and external spaces of our home.

We are extremely happy with our purchases as we really feel they embody our journey through Singapore and the Asia Pacific region. They work well with our furniture from around the world as well as our styles, from modern to traditional. The team at Woody Antique House not only made shopping with them easy, but they enabled us to try different items to see how they fit with our space and our home décor.The selections that we made at Woody Antique House were ones that we took to heart, and we are excited that they help us tell our story and bring us comfort and great memories for many years ahead.
