Maximise the use of your balcony and patio areas with these chic finds

These statement-making collections are versatile enough to use both indoors and out

Outdoor collections combine functional style with durability, making them perfect for Singapore’s tropical climate. Hong Kong-based designer Britta Butler of B Squared Design believes that by creating outdoor versions of their iconic collections, brands are able to cater to homeowners who want to be closer to nature.

“When it comes to items for both indoor and outdoor use, think about functionality and mobility,” says Butler. “Daybeds and benches with storage can help increase the usability of both indoor and outdoor spaces. Woven materials like wicker and jute look good both indoors and out.” For instance, an outdoor dining set placed at a spacious balcony, which can extend an open-plan living and dining room while complementing the interior scheme of the home.

Maximise the use of your spacious deck with the Leaf outdoor table from Danish brand Houe. Named after its distinctive shape, the table features a bamboo top and can seat up to nine guests. Pair it with the Paon chairs, which combine Scandinavian style with a silhouette that ’s loosely inspired by Parisian bistro chairs.
