The modern farmhouse look is beloved by many for the warmth and nostalgia it provides with relative ease. With a variety of textures and finishes that can play into this style, shiplap seems be the topic of many design conversations. The understated yet fun treatment can instantly add character to walls and ceilings. Though a relatively simple process of nailing fitted 1 x 6" boards to the wall, modifying surrounding trim, prepping, then painting or staining, are there other solutions?
A number of vendors have perfected the look of wood grain planks in their dimensional wallpapers. This application is a scrubbable surface, mere millimeters thick, and can be removed when tastes change. Some vendors such as Koroseal, offer a true wood veneer paper sold in 6' x 9' sheets that can be cut and applied to a myriad of surfaces for customers desiring a less rustic wooden surface.
Stikwood developed a peel and stick plank system of pre-cut boards in everything from weathered pine to pressed bamboo. Not only does this allow for consistency of finish, but being able to remove an adhesive tab and mount directly on the wall, makes the install go quickly. Whether you hire a skilled carpenter, wallpaper installer, or opt to tackle the project on your own, "touches" of wood can be a welcoming element in any home.
