Shiplap bathrooms are everywhere at the moment. Consisting of timber boards with rabbet joints which are overlapped to form a tight seal, shiplap paneling is thought to have originated in shipbuilding as a means to create watertight vessels, but historically it has also been used in the construction of homes, barns and cabins.
As a result, shiplap has become a signature feature of coastal and farmhouse interiors and is a wonderful way to capture the looks in a bathroom while also adding subtle character and interest.
