Paneling is one of those interior design trends that comes and goes in many forms, but shiplap has reigned superior as the way to do paneling for years now. And we get it, it's a versatile style that is every bit at home in a farmhouse setting as it is in a modern home. But have we been seeing too much of it recently? Has this go-to way to add character to a home become so much of a go-to that it's become overdone? Is Shiplap slipping out of style?
As with any question like this one, by the time it's getting asked the answer is probably yes. However, there's more to it than that, because with any trend that's been going for such a long time that it's no longer a trend but a timeless design, what the answer usually is instead is just our approach to the look is changing. So with that in mind, we asked designers does shiplap still have its place and what ways can we update this much-loved paneling idea to ensure it doesn't look a bit dull.
