Welcome to Houses with Ash—the only travel & design show where we pass on the pyramids and poke around in the plumbing. I’m Ash, your nosy neighbor on a global scale, exploring the strange, smart, and wonderful ways houses are built, designed, and decorated around the world. Because if you really want to understand a country, don’t look at its temples. Look at its living rooms.
Ash Ambirge: writer & creator of the brand-new design & decorating show,
'houses with ash.' 👀
A fresh take on world culture—starting not at the monument, but at the medicine cabinet.
Most travel shows go outside. This one goes ✨ inside ✨. We're exploring homes around the world in the most unexpected ways, revealing the weird and wonderful rules we all (hilariously) live by.
Why do the French keep their toilets and their sinks in separate rooms? Why are all Chilean apartments identical down to the last doorknob? Do German couples really sleep with two separate duvets? And why don't the Dutch believe in curtains? (Hint: "nothing to hide" is a THING.)

Ash Ambirge is the creator of HOUSES WITH ASH, a delightfully subversive new podcast & newsletter series that explores the strange, smart, and wonderful ways houses are built, designed, and decorated around the world, and the CEO of the coolest new wallpaper & interiors brand ever, WITPAPER. Her Substack newsletter, YOU DON'T LOOK STUPID, takes you behind the scenes of building a creative interiors brand from scratch at age 40, and her book, THE MIDDLE FINGER PROJECT (Penguin Random House) is a cult favorite for anyone who’s ever wanted to burn down their cubicle and start over doing something creative. An internationally published author, long-time blogger, and 15-year digital nomad, Ash has spent over a decade writing about identity, reinvention, and the weird and wonderful ways we can find meaning with our work—often from makeshift desks in places with questionable plumbing.
