Check out these chic resort-inspired interior designs in homes

This home takes a sophisticated, multi-layered approach to the resort style, with its interior designers Distinctidentity using plenty of wood, but in the form of one-of-a-kind wall and ceiling features that inject warmth without feeling heavy.

A medley of wood, marble and glass gives this apartment a homely yet contemporary vibe.

The homeowner loves how the wood-plank look of the full-height cabinet in the living area complements the ceiling beams, which are made of exposed solid plywood and lacquered.

Space was a concern, and to maximise the elongated but narrow family area, a huge sofa was customised and built onto the bay window, with built-in storage space below.

Made of plywood finished with laminate, and wire mesh, this "frame" lets the son create a neat display of his hats and medals.

So taken were the homeowners by the Balinese resort they stayed in during their vacation, that they decided to create their own right here in Singapore. For design advice they turned to a good friend and artist Brian Adams of Design Unit, who also gave them invaluable colour coordination tips.

The folding doors leading to the pool stand open most of the time to let in light and air. Big outdoor furniture in a rattan weave and a tree-trunk dining table bring home that Balinese villa experience.

The house originally had insufficient ventilation and natural light. So during the renovation, all the original internal walls were removed and the space reconfigured to bring in much-needed light and airflow. The living room is awash in sunlight because of a glass skylight that was created.

Working is so much stylish and cool when you're doing it on an antique Chinese desk.

A round tub, bamboo towel rack and tall plants turn a bland bathroom into a tropical oasis.

Because of their love affair with the island, most of their furnishings too are Bali-sourced furniture. For instance, the homeowner wisely planned her Bali shopping so she could coordinate all the bedspreads, cushions and curtains.
