Our client wanted Formica laminated doors, giving them the option to add their own choice of colour while also being very hard wearing.

Why Ash?

Let’s talk about ash wood. It’s a brilliant choice for furniture due to its durability, beautiful grain patterns, and light-tone. This sideboard lets the natural beauty of this wood shine through, with a simple design and a base painted in black. Ash can also be a great option when looking to source timber locally. Unfortunately ash is having to be felled regularly in the UK to help prevent the spread of Ash Dieback. However, this does mean that there is an opportunity to use this timber for furniture without having a huge impact on the planet.

Sliding Doors for Everyday Ease

We are a bit obsessed with sliding doors at Arbor Furniture. They give a nod to the beauty of Japanese furniture design, while also being really practical. Sliding doors make access to your belongings easier is a piece such as a sideboard. They make it easy to have a sideboard in a hallway or other tight places in the home, where hinged doors could potentially get in the way. Arbor Furniture’s thoughtful design ensures you’re making the most of your space while also keeping aesthetics in mind.
