Understanding the Versatility of Beadboard

The original beadboard used in this wood cabin gives the home its unique look and feel. Beadboard is commonly used as wainscoting, an affordable building material that is more versatile than you think. You can use beadboard on a variety of design projects from kitchen islands, walls, and cabinet doors. Beadboard can be used in any space to give a country, rustic, or cottage-inspired feel. Beadboard is very versatile, easy to work with, and can be a lifesaver, aesthetically. Beadboard is an affordable option to overhaul all sorts of projects from a lackluster ceiling or piece of furniture. Whether your style is country, cottage, or traditional, this grooved paneling is perfect. The following are just a few tips to try when using beadboard.

Small Projects to Enhance Your Space

Start small. Consider a beadboard backsplash. Some DIY skills are necessary, but if using a chop saw isn't something you are comfortable with, bring your backsplash measurements to the home improvement store and have an employee cut 4 by 8 sheets of beadboard to size for you. Many stores offer free cuts or charge a small fee for doing this. Beadboard works well as a backsplash, and it's also a great option for a kick splash. Again, you can have this pre-cut at the store if you don't have a saw. Just keep in mind that to have a finished corner, you'll need to box in the ends with strips of trim.

Creative Uses for Beadboard in Custom Projects

Another design project is using beadboard paneling added to the back of a prefab or one-of-a-kind bookshelves to create a custom look without the custom cost. Choose unfinished 1.5-inch sheets of beadboard versus pre-finished, white 2-inch sheets for bookshelf back panels. They are about 30 percent less in price and can be given a custom update with a quick sanding and two coats of semi-gloss paint. Beadboard on the ceiling. Beardboard works wonders on the ceiling, especially between the joists that may otherwise sport unsightly stippled or popcorn ceiling treatments. Go directly over the existing ceiling with furring strips and screws.
