Shiplap walls add rustic charm to any room. Use pre-cut shiplap boards or cut plywood into strips.
Locate wall studs for secure mounting. Start at the bottom, ensuring the first board is level, and nail into studs. Stack boards with slight overlaps for the classic shiplap look. Fill nail holes with wood putty and sand smooth. Paint or stain to match your decor white for a clean aesthetic or natural wood for warmth.
This beginner-friendly DIY takes a weekend. The result is a textured accent wall that adds character and coziness, making your space inviting and stylish. A shiplap wall enhances your home’s appeal without major renovations, offering a budget-friendly way to create a focal point with a personalized, modern, or rustic flair.
