Few DIY projects transform a plain wall as dramatically as shiplap. The clean horizontal lines give a rustic-yet-modern vibe, perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways. And the best part it’s far simpler than it looks.
Basic steps include:
1. Measure and cut boards (MDF, plywood, or real wood depending on budget).
2. Paint or stain before installation for easier finishing.
3. Nail or glue onto the wall, leaving small gaps for that classic “shiplap” shadow.
4. Seal with trim for a neat, polished edge.
Conclusion
In just a weekend, a room that felt flat can suddenly carry depth and texture. It’s a DIY that feels custom, yet accessible to almost anyone.
Charm doesn’t always come from complexity sometimes it’s just wood, paint, and a free Saturday.
