Compared to horizontal shiplap, vertical shiplap is the more uncommon paneling technique. Its retro vibe is an easy complement to vintage or mid-century spaces but it can also be a refreshing statement in modern homes. Shiplap that is laid vertically is designed to make a room appear taller and is ideal in small spaces. For larger rooms, consider using a vertical shiplap accent wall to add depth and create an interesting backdrop for your furniture.
A vertical shiplap half wall is commonly used in bathrooms or mudrooms. You can even use shiplap in your kitchen as a backsplash or in your living room along the front of a fireplace. White is most contemporary color for a vertical shiplap wall, but other muted colors are an elegant option for smaller areas. Keep scrolling to explore the timeless quality of vertical shiplap walls.
