11 Shiplap bedroom ideas to create a textured and relaxing atmosphere


Shiplap has long been a favorite for anyone decorating their bedrooms or bathrooms. Shiplap is the perfect solution for creating easy texture and bringing a touch of personality to the room. As a bonus, installing shiplap is a fairly simple task for amateur DIY-ers to undertake.

If you’re looking to add a shiplap wall (or four!) to your bedroom, you’re in the right place. Below are the most inspiring ideas to help you transform your bedrooms into a relaxing and peaceful space you’ll love spending time in.

A Calming, Neutral-Toned Space With Shiplap Walls

This beige and brown color palette of this bedroom naturally creates a calming environment on its own. Paired with the shiplap walls, however, and this feeling is magnified.

The bright sunlight coming from the large window bathes the bed in a soft, inviting natural light. Additionally, the shiplap reaching from floor to ceiling paired with the singular artwork draws the eye to the head of the bed and makes for a great alternative to a traditional headboard.

A Compact Bedroom With Soft Linens Paired With Shiplap Walls

Simple, clean aesthetics are an easy way to brighten small rooms. This simplistic, borderline minimalist, bedroom features crisp sheets and subtle accents which is perfect for those that dislike or feel overwhelmed by clutter.

The single above-bed shelf, small nightstand, and window sill make it so that you must be mindful about the items you keep in the room. Similar to the previous example, the shiplap adds gentle texture and, when paired with the shelf, creates a slight illusion of the headboard. This is another ideal solution to limited space.

A Unique Bedroom With a Vaulted Ceiling and a Small Shiplap Wall

This master bedroom is an interesting, yet not overwhelming, blend of tones, shapes, and textures that make this an appealing place to sleep or simply exist. The recessed shiplap wall behind the head of the bed creates the appearance of a traditional headboard, but on an elevated level compared to what we’ve seen so far.

The depth of the area along with the contrast in color and surface further sets this area apart from the rest of the wall, while the matching material under the window draws the room back together. As a bonus, the wardrobe around the bed is a space-saving storage solution.

A Dramatic Blue-Toned Bedroom With a Shiplap Accent Wall

If you prefer a touch of color in your master bedroom, this might be the idea for you. This room uses shiplap as an accent wall, painting it the same color as the rest of the walls for a discrete, yet impactful appearance.

The result is an elevated version of the more common design we’ve seen previously and is an excellent way to showcase your personal style. The mixed fabrics and rattan furniture along with the subtle nightstands complete the look.

A White Shiplap Wall in a Bright, Airy Bedroom

Echoing elements of our first and second examples, this bedroom features plenty of natural light and all-over shiplap walls with a framed artwork above the bed. Unlike the other ideas, however, this bedroom is both compact and includes subdued touches of color.

The terracotta and dark grey bedding items pull in the plant as well as the art, further allowing these tones to pop against the white shiplap and bedding. Overall, these elements work together to create a cozy and inviting, yet airy space designed for a soothing night’s sleep.

A Blend of Shiplap Walls and a Solid Paint Color in a Children’s Bedroom

Mixing wall materials can turn an average bedroom into a charming and visually appealing area for all ages. This child’s bedroom has a quaint, slightly rustic feel that’s enhanced by the use of shiplap wall paneling combined with solid, smooth-surfaced paint.

The soft neutrals, linens, and patterns found throughout perfectly tie the space together and the unique closet door is an alluring feature all on its own. Natural materials were a fantastic choice for decorating this bedroom with appropriate furniture and fabrics.

Shiplap Wall Paneling Along the Bottom Half of One Wall

This master bedroom approaches shiplap walls differently than the other ideas we’ve seen so far. Instead of continuing the shiplap all the way up the wall to the ceiling, it’s been stopped midway, recreating the look of a headboard without needing to install one and potentially limit the available floor space.

The paint color used on the shiplap pairs beautifully with the other colors in the room, but is a unique shade not found elsewhere. This, combined with the natural contrast it provides, draws the eye and makes for an appealing bedroom.

All-Over Shiplap in a Bold Paint Color for a Cozy Bedroom

This stunning bedroom features a shiplap ceiling that accentuates the intriguing shape of the home. Using the same dark paint color on both the walls and the ceiling can often cause a bedroom to appear too dim.

However, when a large window is featured in the room, it can add just the right amount of sunlight to help create a cozy and welcoming bedroom as seen here.

Shiplap Walls Carried Through the Hallway and Along the Ceiling

One popular way to incorporate shiplap in your home is to carry it beyond the doors of the rooms and throughout other areas of the home. This example uses shiplap on both the walls and ceilings in the bedroom and out into the hallway for a cohesive, almost coastal, style.

The color of the shiplap contrasts beautifully with the black light fixtures placed where a headboard would normally be, creating a place that invites you to stay and enjoy the environment.

Contrasting Shiplap Walls in a Child’s Bedroom With Rustic Touches

This child’s room uses bold wall coloring to create a two-tone effect, an exciting take on all-over shiplap. For added storage, you can install open shelving, as seen here. This example uses the same color of paint on the shelf as the bright shiplap to create visual interest and draw the eye around the room.

Pair Shiplap with Exposed Brick for a Textural Effect

This beautiful bedroom with a natural color palette has an exposed brick wall, which can be beautiful, yet it’s up to you how much of the brick you want to be visible. Shiplap is a great way to cover up part of the wall. The combination of both wall treatments will make for a beautiful textural effect as well.
