Colored shiplap is a big design trend when it comes to wall paneling. Painted shiplap makes a bold statement in any room, including the living room, kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom. You can even use shiplap in smaller spaces like a hallway, mudroom, or powder room. Whether for an accent wall, backsplash, or wainscoting, you won’t regret adding the look to your home.
Dark shiplap is popular for modern aesthetics, while you can add a pop of vibrant color with shiplap wainscoting that may feel overwhelming on a whole wall. For a more farmhouse design, light neutral colors are a timeless look. Regardless of whether you go with horizontal or vertical paneling, you will end up with a beautiful focal point in your space.
Check out the ways you can use shiplap as a gorgeous and colorful design choice in your home.
