If you love the shiplap and farmhouse style look, chances are you’ve dreamt about a shiplap kitchen. Maybe you’ve even gone so far as to start scouring Pinterest for ideas on how to add shiplap to your kitchen.
The truth is that honestly, kitchens are likely one of the hardest places to add shiplap. The most traditional way to add shiplap anywhere in your home is, of course, shiplap walls.
But in kitchens, the walls are usually covered with upper cabinets, refrigerators, microwaves, and more. Kitchens don’t usually have a lot of open wall space, that’s just the truth.
But luckily for you, there are MORE ways to make your dream shiplap kitchen! I’ve rounded up 10 great ideas below… There’s everything from shiplap kitchen backsplashes to kitchen islands wrapped with shiplap! Enjoy!
