Modern & Farmhouse Shiplap Wall Designs for Every Style
Shiplap has evolved well beyond the farmhouse trend. Its clean lines and layered texture work beautifully in a range of spaces — from modern minimalism to cozy rustic interiors. Whether you love the fresh look of white painted boards or the richness of stained wood, our team tailors each project to match your taste and the tone of your home.
We offer multiple layout styles including:
Horizontal shiplap for a wider, relaxed look
Vertical shiplap for height and formality
Diagonal patterns for visual interest
Every wall is a blank canvas — we help you choose the perfect layout, finish, and board size to match your home’s identity.
Is a Shiplap Feature Wall Right for Your Home?
Shiplap isn’t just a trend — it’s a practical design feature that can work in nearly any residential or commercial setting. It’s ideal for:
Living rooms: Frame your fireplace, TV, or sofa with warm wood accents.
Bedrooms: Replace a headboard or create a serene focal point behind the bed.
Home offices: Add visual interest to your Zoom background or behind your desk.
Dining areas: Make mealtime feel more intentional with a backdrop that complements your decor.
Retail shops or cafes: Elevate your interior with a unique, inviting touch.
Wherever you want texture, contrast, or character — shiplap works.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What’s the difference between shiplap and tongue-and-groove?
Shiplap overlaps at the edges (rabbet joint) while tongue-and-groove locks together. Shiplap leaves a visible gap; tongue-and-groove is tighter.
2. Can you install shiplap on textured walls?
Yes — we’ll either skim coat the wall or apply a smooth backer board, depending on the texture.
3. How long does installation take?
Most walls are completed in 1 day. Larger or multi-wall projects may take up to 2 days.
4. Will shiplap hold up in humid rooms like bathrooms?
Yes, if properly finished. We recommend sealed wood or painted MDF with moisture-resistant coatings.
5. Can I request a custom paint color?
Absolutely. We can match any paint brand and color or help you choose a tone that complements your space.
6. Do you offer vertical or diagonal shiplap designs?
Yes — we install all layout types. We’ll help you decide which works best for your room’s size and style.
