Bathroom Beadboard

I love the look of beadboard, how can I use it in my bathroom?

Whether your design is contemporary, Victorian or cottage style, bead board can be used. It can be stained or painted-depending on your preference.

32" high beadboard wainscoting can be used on the walls. It is available in individual planks or paneling-style sheets. The traditional wainscoting accents bath fixtures and adds grace to a most humble room.

Ceilings no longer have to be just drywalled and painted as beadboard ceiling planks are now available and add interest in a small space.

Change the door to the bathroom and create a striking entry by using an interior moulded 2 panel door with beaded planks.

Many vanity manufacturers have added beadboard door styles to their lines of cabinets in bright white colors along with darker glazes and finishes. Beadboard planks could be used for your countertop in a bath that doesn’t get much use, although I’d suggest a marine finish on them.

You can even add a unique embellishment to your toilet with Magnolia’s Bead Board design toilet seat. Have fun!
