Which Accent Wall would you pick? This or that?
Shiplap or Beadboard?
"Shiplap wood is a long, narrow board with grooves rabbeted (or cut) into the top and bottom of its long sides...Shiplap's rabbeted grooves are the key feature that defines the board. The grooves give the product its distinctive lines. The grooves allow the boards to be self-spacing, which makes for fast, consistent installation." -Lee Wallender
"Beadboard is a decorative style of wood paneling that has evenly spaced grooves on the surface. It's popular for use in cottage or Cape Cod style homes and furniture. Beadboard is usually installed vertically, although some people install it horizontally for a different look." -Sophie Stillwell
