Shiplap Half Wall Bathroom

This is the part that i was the most excited about.

Shiplap half wall bathroom.

I would cap the top row of my shiplap with a wider board and add hooks. It won t be exact but try to get close. Give some thought to how high you want your trim. Another great feature about shiplap is that it can be painted.

Stained and distressed or clean and bright shiplapping can take even the most dismal unappealing bathroom and transform it into a space worth taking your sweet time in. Shiplap can be a fantastic added feature in a bathroom when it is applied as a wainscoting application ceiling sink backsplash or accent wall. Not only is it a budget friendly home project but it adds a large amount of texture color and dimension for a minimum amount of money and time. Shiplap refers to a special type of inter locking board similar to tongue and groove but with a tighter overlapping fit.

The best thing since we were doing shiplap half up the walls i didn t have paint the whole wall. Sure a bathroom is just a bathroom but everyone wants theirs to look and feel good. Powder room with half shiplap walls displays a round brass hanging mirror above a single gray washstand with gray knobs and honed marble countertop. Plus since this bathroom is on the smaller side all the white shiplap helps brighten it up.

Shiplap is great for adding a little rustic country charm to your space and can really help your bathroom feel cozy and unique. A good rule of thumb is to divide the wall into thirds. So 1 3 or 2 3 of the wall will look better than half of a wall. Determine the plank width and cut down the plywood panels.

Now for all you diy ers out there i ll let you in on a little secret. Everything about this bathroom is absolutely charming. It probably doesn t seem like a major change it is just half a wall of planks after all but the shiplap adds so much more character to the space. Instead of painting both the wall and the shiplap all white add a subtle color to the walls such as sherwin williams maison blanche.

Rip your plywood sheets into anywhere between 6 to 8 strips with a circular saw or table saw. These wooden panels are easy to install create an effective seal and are an increasingly popular style choice for the inside of homes from modern to rustic. These are the steps we took to get the shiplap look for less in our bathroom. Please have some respect for whoever will eventually remove these.

After two coats of paint the bathroom was ready for hubby to start the shiplap. Figure out how many sheets of plywood you need and add 15 for waste.
