8 Beautiful Ways to Use Beadboard In Your Home

Beadboard is a great way to add some texture and style on your walls in your home. It is easy to install on walls. Beadboard comes in sheets that you can get at your local home improvement store. Your local store may even be willing to cut the sheets down to make it easy to get into your car. You can also find beadboard wallpaper.

Beadboard typically made in MDF which is a medium density fiberboard. If you decide to use it in a place with moisture like a bathroom, you will want to make sure that you use a paint like semi-gloss that is more water friendly. Water can damage MDF much faster than wood. Although, beadboard can come in wood panels as well.

I love how beadboard looks on a ceiling. It provides such an elegant look that can warm up a room, especially in a neutral space. I have plans to do this in our morning room and I can’t wait to see how it will come together.

Beadboard on a backsplash is another way I really like how it being used in a design now. It is a great way to add character if you don’t want the standard tile backsplash. Beadboard can also really change the style of a room. It goes with the classic farmhouse or a more modern look.
