As you would notice with the other two areas we have discussed about the power of the theme, and how properly you should wield it, one of the areas that we have failed to look at is how this applies to the Singapore context, and what you should and should not be doing with the theme in this sunny island. Importantly, what you need to do is to be able to identify the elements that you can and cannot use when trying to fix up your home for that new look you want next year. Now, one of the most common mistakes that people in Singapore make is that they never look at the limitations of their places and their houses when they are trying to do it up, and this is the first mistake that you should not be making. You need to be realistic when you are doing your place up, and know that certain elements are not going to work very well in your place. Now when you are living in an apartment, a large water feature is not going to make sense because of the way the apartment is built and how you are going to idealise the design there. You might just end up with a leak.

One of the other things that are quite important when you are in Singapore is the fact that you are going to have to want to know what is going to work in the climate. Now, as you all know, the idea of weather in Singapore is not something that we can describe as pleasant all around, and most of the time, we are going to be faced with relatively very high humidity and heat, and this means that certain material is not going to be appropriate especially outside. Things like heated marble and certain kinds of wood for example, would either crack, expand or disintegrate over time as they are placed in the heat outside, and this is something that you really need to avoid at the end of the day, and what you need to know about is how you are going to get around that issue when you do come across it. This means that you need some sort of basic knowledge of materials and how they are going to perform in the heat and certain weather conditions that are well known to be a part of Singapore's patterns.

Now looking at this, what you need to know about is how you are going to be able to understand the ways and means that you would be able to garner some sort of knowledge of the sort of weather conditions that you might be facing in your corner of the island. As there is a difference between coastal weather and the sort you get if you were living in the centre of the city, these are some of the things that need to be paid attention at the end of the day, if you are going to get around some of the more common problems being faced. Here, and at the next article, we are going to discuss about issues of price.
