Ash wood is a commonly used type of wood that is seen in furniture stores around the world. It is light in colour, ranging from white to light red, and has porous grains that are similar to grains seen in oak. It is hard and heavy, but also easily bendable, making it desirable for many different purposes –ranging from chairs, stools, and even baseball bats. It stains easily, which makes it fit into a variety of spaces and décor.

When it comes to designing the area you call home, one of the best parts of ash wood designs is the clean, contemporary look it brings to your space. If your design style is more contemporary, you’ll probably enjoy some of the unique, modern designs of ash furniture. Look around at the areas in your home that might need a little updating. Figure out what you can’t part with and what you can live without – then start shopping around for ash furniture designs.
