As far as I'm concerned, while things like herringbone floors, gently curved side splashes, and beadboard walls have never gone “out of style”, there's no denying that these old world-esque additions are hot in the design world right now, and for good reason.
Unlike fleeting home trends, beadboard comes from simpler times and is here to stay. It is classic and timeless. Its simple aesthetic works so well with farmhouse, transitional, and classic design styles. It can also be used in modern home design, believe it or not!
Instead of the horizontal paneling, classic beadboard is coming back as both a kitchen backsplash material, and a wall trim idea. To make the look feel contemporary, take the beadboard 3/4 of the way up the wall, instead of the more traditional 1/2 way up.
And according to Wood, it's become popular again, but in dark hues. "Dark wainscoting is a trend that has blown up in the design world in 2021 and will continue to rule 2022," she said.
Wainscoting is a decorative wall trim that's centuries old and has never gone out of style, likely due to its versatility—there's a type of panel that suits just about every design style.
Beadboard, Defined
Like board and batten wainscoting, beadboard wainscoting or paneling can be installed vertically (the traditional orientation), or horizontally for a more modern feel.
Beadboard cabinets attract more buyers than most standard cabinets in a few ways. The main benefit of having beadboard cabinets is that with them, homes have higher value and homeowners can sell their homes earlier than they would with old or original home cabinets.
2022 Fashion Trend: Low-Rise Pants
Dipping wayyyy below the belly button, the low-slung pant and micro-mini skirt are back in full force. If you're not the snug 'n' stretchy thong-revealing style type, embrace the look via low-slung denim, leather pants, or cargos á la Jennifer Aniston in the '90s.
Denim-on-denim looks and camo-print clothes are both fading, as are larger sunglasses. They also said high-waisted pants were being replaced by mid- and low-rise varieties.
Reeded or Fluted Panels
"One example, called Tambour, is a great alternative to shiplap because it provides visual dimension while feeling a bit more bespoke.”
The beginning of beadboard can be traced to the Victorian period, about 1880 or earlier. I have been recently restoring an 1862 house and, sure enough, a couple of original varieties are there. Some old slang terminology for beadboard referring to its uses may have included sheathing, paneling and ceiling.
Vintage Interior Design
Whether it's a classic mid-century modern piece or a vintage-inspired color palette, this design style effortlessly withstands the test of time, making it a perennial favorite for those seeking enduring elegance and character in their homes.
Wainscoting, which is wood panels on the bottom of a wall, and delicate wall molding are both making a comeback.
Although DIY-friendly beadboard kits can simplify the installation process, beadboard requires time and care to install. On top of cutting the sheets to size, it's also important to properly measure the spacing for the perfect look. Shiplap, on the other hand, self-spaces and is much more fool-proof.
Tall beadboard in a large space or larger bathrooms can add a bit more movement and look more visually pleasing. On the other hand, with shorter beadboard, you can make your walls look taller and more spacious in a smaller space with low ceilings.
Beadboard traces its roots to 18th- and 19th-century Europe where it was used in less formal homes and spaces, particularly vacation cottages.
One of the most disturbing trends in 2022 has to be the “Jeffrey Dahmer Challenge,” where social media users recorded their reactions to the sickening crime scene photos of Dahmer's killings.
Are high waisted pants out of style 2023? High waist pants are out of fashion for summer 2023 – especially the carrot pants, paper bag pants and palazzo pants. And high waisted pants will be out of style for fall winter 2023/24, too. In fact, the high waist pants were not seen on the fall winter 2023/24 runways.
Style took a step back in time, 90s fashion made a return in 2022. Baggy jeans, oversized clothing, and flannel became staples once again in many people's closets. Charcuterie boards are here to stay but make room for trendy butter boards, which is exactly as it sounds.
4) Boleros & Shrugs
Shrunken jackets, boleros, and shoulder shrugs are everywhere right now; think of it as the inverse of the “cold shoulder” trend of the 2010s.
Despite its traditional roots, beadboard continues to be an excellent choice for giving any bathroom a cozy and classic appeal. Bathroom beadboard is generally installed as a half wall around the sink and bathtub or laid along an entire wall to create a stunning accent wall.
Although, beadboard is more versatile, they are more expensive and labor intensive and time consuming, when it comes to installation. Shiplap boards are fairly easy to install as the planks simply interlock with their adjacent planks.
There can be vast cost differences between wainscoting and beadboard. Wainscoting made using MDF, plywood, or PVC can cost as little as $1 per square foot. However, opting for solid wood wainscoting can cause these costs to rocket up to $40 per square foot. Beadboard is a much less expensive option.
