Vertical shiplap is a great addition to any bathroom. A vertical shiplap bathroom comes with a unique vintage charm that will transform it into a beautiful place to unwind. Vertical shiplap in the bathroom can give the illusion of higher ceilings and make the room appear larger, which means it is particularly useful in smaller spaces like half baths. In more compact bathrooms, consider installing a vertical shiplap half wall or backsplash to give the space style without visually overwhelming the walls.
White, beige, or gray shiplap is commonly used because they create a clean aesthetic and can serve as a neutral base for contrasting colors and textures. Alternatively, vertical shiplap in darker shades gives a sense of sophistication and helps set the mood for those much-needed moments of relaxation in the bathtub. We’ve curated a list of our favorite vertical shiplap bathrooms to show you how versatile this type of paneling can be.

In the words of the interior designer, Annuska Menoita, “When incorporating a vanity into your bathroom, it’s crucial to consider your storage needs. Maximizing storage by extending the cabinet to the floor can provide practicality without compromising style. Enhancing the aesthetic with intricate detailing on the flooring, such as a border tile framing the cabinetry or a herringbone finish, can elevate the overall design. This subtle addition is not just about aesthetics, but also about providing a thoughtful touch to your bathroom space.”
With this in mind, the herringbone tile floor doesn’t just complement the dark green vanity but also adds a layer of complexity to the design. As Annuska suggests, these intricate details can transform a functional space into a luxurious sanctuary.
