Farmhouse decorating is all the rage, and for good reason. It’s absolutely gorgeous! I love the farmhouse look and take every chance I can get to incorporate it into my décor. If you’re like me, you just can’t get enough, which is what makes this shiplap collection so wonderful. Shiplap gives you a wonderful opportunity to add texture to your décor and works in all spaces, large and small. You can do so many things with this paneled look, from replacing entire walls to creating the smallest decoration items.
Shiplap really started to get popular after the rise of Fixer Upper on HGTV. Joanna Gaines, one of the hosts, does everything she can to add shiplap in virtually every episode. Even she knows how wonderful this look is and now you can add it to your own home, and quite easily I might add. Of course, there are other ways that you can add farmhouse appeal to your home, which you’ll see in my 55 farmhouse furniture and décor ideas.
Nothing says farmhouse décor though quite like the shiplap look. Those small – or large – planks are perfect for adding a rustic country look to your home and they can be implemented in any room. There are some wonderful ideas for adding shiplap walls to your bathroom, laundry room, kitchen and even bedroom, as well as headboards and other décor items made in this fashion. The great thing is, this is not at all an expensive undertaking and many of these projects take very little time. Much like these 50 rustic wood signs, you can finish many of these projects in a day or less.
If you’re all about farmhouse decorating and décor then you absolutely need to know about shiplap. From walls to clocks and everything in between, you can incorporate this great look into all corners of your home and have a gorgeous farmhouse look all throughout. If you’re ready to add that farmhouse appeal to your house, let’s get started!
1. DIY Shiplap Fireplace Backsplash
If you have a fireplace, why not consider adding some shiplap to the section above the mantel? This is a great idea if you just want to incorporate a bit of shiplap into your décor but don’t want to do an entire wall. It will instantly bring the attention to your fireplace which should probably be the focal point of your room anyway. Plus, it’s so easy to add a shiplap wall section to this small area and it makes a really huge statement wall.

2. DIY Shiplap Attic
If you want to add dimension and character to your attic space, you can definitely do that with shiplap. Add this concept to your walls and ceiling. It looks really nice for alcoves, too.

Plus, it’s pretty easy to do and something that you can handle yourself without worrying about hiring a contractor.

4. Easy Colored Shiplap Walls
If you want to add the look of shiplap but you want to also draw more attention to a certain wall, paint the boards before you hang them. I love this black shiplap wall. It’s such a wonderful focal point and such an easy fix, too. This would be great in a bathroom or even as a statement wall in the bedroom or kitchen, depending on the color that you choose to paint it.

5. Rustic Shiplap Breakfast Nook
Turn that breakfast nook – or the corner of your kitchen – into a beautiful farmhouse styled eating area when you add shiplap walls. You don’t have to do the entire room. Just redo the walls around the area where you have a table and chairs or bench. This would add a lovely rustic country look to any kitchen, even if you don’t have a dedicated breakfast nook.

6. DIY Shiplap Inspired Charger Plates
Turn ordinary charger plates into farmhouse styled décor when you add shiplap. You can do this with actual shiplap boards, just glue them together, but an easier way would be to cut the round and then style it to look like shiplap. This would be beautiful to display dishes on a farmhouse table and it’s such an easy plate to create.

7. Gorgeous Shiplap Clock
If you’re looking to add farmhouse charm, a shiplap clock is a must and you can build this one yourself really easily. You can buy these of course at most high end department stores but they’re not cheap. You can build one yourself for a fraction of the cost and still get a great shiplap styled clock. You’ll need shiplap of course, as well as a few power tools and a clock kit to make it.

8. Shiplap Chair Rail
You can turn an otherwise ordinary wall into something spectacular when you add a chair rail with shiplap. Just measure your wall up to where you want the chair rail to begin and add your shiplap to the floor. Then separate your walls with decorative moulding and you’re all done. I love this idea for contrasting colors. Maybe paint the shiplap white and have a slightly bolder color on top.

Your kitchen island can become the focal point of the room when you redo it with shiplap. This is such an easy way to implement this farmhouse styled décor into your kitchen and it doesn’t take that long.

16. Shiplap Laundry Room Makeover
The laundry room is often overlooked when it comes to décor, which is really sad considering we spend so much time in there – or at least I do. If you want to spruce up your laundry room and add a little farmhouse charm to it at the same time, why not shiplap the walls? This is a simple makeover that won’t take long and doesn’t cost as much as you might think. I promise you’ll be happy spending all that time doing laundry if your laundry room looks like this.

You can add that farmhouse charm to your pantry and really give it an updated look.

Add some other farmhouse accessories like wooden boxes and even some burlap to your shelves to really get a rustic feel when you enter the pantry.
