Applying shiplap boardsย to your walls gives it a breezy, beachy causal vibe with a hint of rusticity and some cottage country charm, creating a beautiful aesthetic. Shiplap can be used as both a wall covering or paneling. It is essentially a wide-plank wood that can be applied on your wall either horizontally (more common) or vertically. The best part about it, it can be used in any room of your home. At a time when sliding barn doors are a hot trend, it makes sense that shiplap would be a popular selection for cladding interior walls and ceilings.

In case you do not already knowย what shiplap is, we will explain it for you. The material is milled to create a halved grooveย on the top and bottom so that the pieces fit snuggly together. This is why you see a distinctive reveal line in-between the boards, adding to its appeal. Another question you may have, is will this style work in your home? It can pretty much fit in anywhere, in a traditional style home, or even in a modern or industrial space. The material can be painted or stained (typically white), adding a distinctive, textured element to your space.
