Shiplap, Wainscoting and Accent Walls

Shiplap, beadboard, board-and-batten and paneled walls that add warmth, texture and a custom look to a kitchen or breakfast nook.

A wall of shiplap or beadboard changes the feel of a kitchen without changing its layout. Shiplap adds clean horizontal lines and a farmhouse touch, board-and-batten feels crisp and tailored and wainscoting brings classic cottage warmth. Used behind a dining nook or on a feature wall, paneling adds depth, hides imperfections and makes a room feel designed. In Nashville, where farmhouse and cottage styles are popular, these treatments are a favorite way to add character.

We help you choose style, spacing and finish, then plan the layout so lines meet windows, doors and cabinets cleanly. We install paneling over properly prepared walls with proper blocking, handle outlet and switch cutouts and caulk and fill for a seamless paint finish. For kitchens, we select materials that tolerate humidity and splashes. Paneled ceilings and range hood surrounds can match the walls so the whole space feels coordinated. Because walls in a kitchen take splashes, steam and the occasional bump from a chair, we also talk about where paneling belongs and where it does not. Behind a breakfast table, along a hallway to the pantry or on one dramatic wall opposite the range is usually ideal. Combined with a bright paint color and good lighting, a modest area of paneling can change how the whole room is remembered.

Questions

Usually a few days for a typical feature wall, including finishing.
