Shiplap is on the rise thanks to farmhouse and rustic decor styles that are very actual now. But what is shiplap actually? Shiplap is a wooden board that’s commonly used outdoors on sheds and barns, and as a form of siding. Each board is milled and connects snugly with the next, creating a distinctive line between each layer.
Shiplap can be used as wall paneling, ceiling decor or even to cover the floors, it’s a very versatile material that can work anywhere. Such decor can be used throughout the house, in any room, just keep in mind that in bathrooms it should be treated against moisture. If you wanna try this idea in home decor and are looking for inspiration, look no further, it’s here!
Shiplap In Smaller Doses
Shiplap may be used in smaller doses in your home decor: just on one accent wall or instead of a headboard in your bedroom. It will add coziness, texture and a welcoming feel to the space. If you have a smaller space you want to add some interest to, however, paint it either a more dramatic dark or bright color: navy, black, grey, pink or some other shade. Such an accent wall will highlight your kitchen, living wall, home office or any other space, and you may add even more eye-catchiness cladding the shiplap vertically.

Shiplap All Over
Shiplap all over the space, especially painted white, feels airy and very welcoming. It’s very actual for attic spaces – cover all the walls and ceiling, and your space will seem much larger and light-filled. You may add warmth and coziness to the space choosing sandy and earthy tones for the shiplap, or go totally black or navy as moody spaces are very popular and trendy.
