Herringbone shiplap walls are a beautiful way to create instant interest by bringing depth and texture to a space. While traditional shiplap walls use rectangular boards horizontally, a herringbone pattern differs by using rectangular pieces of shiplap in a staggered zig-zag layout.
The size of the rectangular pieces of shiplap used in the herringbone pattern can change, depending on what you are looking for in your space. Using smaller pieces can create a more ornate, subtle look, while larger pieces of shiplap can give the illusion of movement, enhancing the size of the space. Regardless of the dimensions of the shiplap, keep in mind that all of the pieces should be a consistent width to create the desired zig-zag pattern.
