Nothing Boring About Beadboard!

Some people may think that bead board is boring. Not I! I love the clean simplicity and durability of bead board. It looks great from floor to ceiling or in between. I also think it makes a fabulous ceiling. There are different styles of bead board that may suit each person's individual taste. Bead board can range from traditional to modern. It may come in tongue and groove or more economical full sheet which is less time consuming to install. We have full wall bead board in our mudroom/laundry area because it is visited the most by our furry friends and it is very easy to clean. We are choosing to do this in my friends mud room as well about 3/4 quarter way up wall in the 8 inch spread to give it a more modern feel and trying to push the Channel Bead to her traditional Hubby. This way we can paint and hang some lovely art on the wall space that remains. What style bead board do you like? Check out the different styles that make bead board fun not boring.
Below are different grooves that make each sheet of board lean toward modern, traditional or transitional. All samples are from www.beadboard.com (Natucket Beadboard) except for last image which is my mudroom.
