12. Walls of Shiplap
When they are first completed, most basements have cement walls, and drywall is added to create the appearance of walking into a shared space. This is all right, but you might apply shiplap to the walls if you want to elevate the look a little further. It makes you feel like you’re in the countryside inside a cozy seaside cottage or farmhouse.
Shiplap panels are available at any hardware shop, or you can order them online in any color. Then, to learn how to mount them on your own, check out a YouTube guide. Based on how wide of a surface area you plan to cover with shiplap, the cost will change.
