Sage Green Shiplap

Sage green shiplap adds charm to this farmhouse-style bedroom. A wall like this one could even create the effect of a headboard, should you wish to forgo a standard piece.

Cozy Wooden Warmth

Once again, white shiplap walls and antique wooden furniture prove to be a winning combination with its stunning contrast. Consider staining your wooden furniture if you want to create more of a stark and classic look.

Two-Toned Elements

If you pair shiplap with board and batten, you may wish to adapt a two-toned look, as illustrated in this bedroom. If you're hesitant to go colorful, you can simply pair a crisp white with an off-white or beige. However, the color white would also look stunning with a green, blue, or gray tone as well.

Thoughtful Tile Paired With Shiplap

Ensure that the tile pattern you select for your bathroom pairs with your shiplap walls seamlessly so that your small space doesn't appear overly busy.

Handy Hooks in the Hallway

Hang shiplap vertically, then add a row of hooks above it for a sweet hallway setup that's equal parts pretty and practical. This is similar to the approach taken in the kitchen shown earlier.

In the hallway, you can easily hang up your bags, baseball hats, and scarves so that they're easy to throw on as you head out for the day.

Artful Accents

Layer wooden art over your shiplap walls to add farmhouse flair to any room of the home. You can even DIY your own wooden frames to take existing canvases to the next level without breaking the bank, The curved metal bedroom also contributes to this bedroom's farmhouse look.

Welcoming Workspace

Given how much time you spend in your home office, you'll want to create a space you love. Shiplap is one way to take a bland work-from-home spot and turn it into a room in which you'll enjoy sitting.

Coffee Nook

How darling is this shiplap coffee nook? Bring a cafe look into your home with an adorable setup like this one, complete with a colorful coffee maker and a chalkboard, where family members can easily jot down messages to one another throughout the day.

Laundry Station

Add shiplap to the laundry room and cranking through all of that folding and sorting may just feel like less of a grind. Farmhouse spaces often feature wall clocks, and the laundry room is a great place to include one.

Cute Cubbies and Seating

Set up a cubby display in your entryway or mudroom—woven baskets contribute to the farmhouse-like feel in this space. Don't forget to incorporate seating so that people have a spot to sit down and lace up or take off their shoes.

Monochrome Palette

We don't often see shiplap painted in such a bold color, but we're all for this vibrant look. Paired with a green headboard, the hue brings an earthy look to the bedroom. Opt for a monochrome palette to create a consistent design while varying the green tones that you use for some visual interest.

Shiplap and Chevron

Chevron and shiplap complement each other nicely, particularly when the wood tones vary. Add in some plaid pillows, and your farmhouse-style bedroom is complete and ready for major rest and relaxation.

Pattern Play

If you can't decide between a simple pattern and a louder one, find a way to embrace both approaches within an individual space. Here in this primary bathroom, a bold tiled floor shines next to a white shiplap wall—it's the best of both worlds.

Grand Bedroom

A four-poster bed brings the drama in this grand sleep space, while shiplap walls add a down-to-earth touch. If you don't want your bedroom to appear overly formal but still appreciate a little bit of grandeur, this is the way to go.

Shiplap and Stone

How gorgeous does shiplap look alongside this stone fireplace? Shiplap is extremely versatile, in nature, complementing more rustic materials as well as more sleek ones. A classic stone fireplace is a true farmhouse fixture that will always turn heads.

Shiplap Sink Details

If you opt for a partial shiplap wall in your bathroom, continue the design so that it frames the sink. This will result in a stylish, cohesive look. The vanity material is similar in design, only made from wood, and this also adds to the room's sophisticated appearance.

Mixed Materials

Shiplap, brass, marble, and rattan? Bring it on. Even in the bathroom, it's all about an artful mix of materials to bring depth and texture into a space. To keep the overall look consistent, keep a similar color palette for all the different materials.
