Add Visual Interest With A Farmhouse Shiplap Fireplace

Adding a shiplap fireplace to your living room is a great way to make your home feel warm and inviting. Whether you have a farmhouse, traditional, transitional, or modern interior, a shiplap fireplace will instantly become the focal point of the space. A shiplap fireplace wall also serves as the perfect backdrop to beautiful art or decor items, allowing them to really pop.

In terms of colors, white shiplap is definitely the most common, but dark gray, blue or black shiplap planks are great options if you prefer a more modern farmhouse look. Regardless of the color you choose, shiplap is a great way to add character to your fireplace and works well with many different types of fireplace surround materials, including tile, stone, brick, and marble.
