1. Coastal Calm Meets Shiplap Chic
This one feels like a breath of fresh, salty air — all light, breeze, and barefoot ease.
I’m completely in love with how the shiplap ceiling draws the eye upward and sets the tone for the whole space — crisp, coastal, and effortlessly relaxed. Alex Brener paired it with sandy-gray grasscloth walls and ocean-hued accents that make the room feel like it’s floating just above the shoreline.
From the cane headboard to the layered blue textiles, every detail whispers vacation home you never want to leave. And let’s be honest — that sunlight pouring in from the French doors? Pure serotonin.
2. Softly Southwestern Simplicity
Okay but how good is this pine-toned shiplap moment?
The natural wood grain adds such an organic texture behind the bed — warm, grounding, and just rustic enough to give this clean-lined space a bit of soul. I love how Ashton Woods Homes (@ashtonwoodshomes) balanced it with soft clay tones and those subtly Southwestern pillows. It feels like a desert retreat with a modern twist.
And let’s talk about that black ceiling fan. Sharp. Minimal. Basically the cool older cousin to the farmhouse aesthetic we’ve all been pinning.

Not to be dramatic, but this ceiling detail is giving serious cozy grandeur.
Between the soft white shiplap accent wall and that dreamy tray ceiling (hello, shiplap again — we see you), this space by Creative Sights N Sounds feels like a peaceful escape and a masterclass in texture. The deep wood tones ground the room beautifully, while soft sage walls and creamy neutrals keep it feeling light and breathable.
And can we just take a moment for the chandelier? It’s like farmhouse elegance met Jane Austen and said, “let’s stay in tonight.”

I love how Pure Salt Interiors took the classic shiplap wall and gave it a vertical spin. It draws your eye up like a quiet little architectural trick, making the room feel taller and lighter all at once. And can we talk about the layers on that bed? The nubby linen, the striped rug, the soft neutral palette with just a whisper of navy… it’s giving “sophisticated surfer” in the most polished way.
Everything about this space says: Yes, I woke up like this — and then I made matcha.
5. Modern Farmhouse, But Make It Soft
This bedroom is basically what I imagine linen sheets would dream of — all clean lines, creamy whites, and a touch of quiet luxury.
The horizontal shiplap keeps things classic, but it’s the layering that really got me. That driftwood-toned bench? Obsessed. And the natural wood bed frame against the crisp white wall is giving “Sunday morning pancakes with sunshine on your feet” kind of energy.
It’s cozy without being cluttered — just the right amount of lived-in warmth. A place where neutrals speak fluently and your soul lets out a very deep exhale.
6. Holiday Herringbone Dream
Okay, I’m officially obsessed with this wall. It’s like shiplap’s cooler cousin who just got back from a design retreat in the woods.
The soft herringbone pattern adds such a gentle rhythm, and paired with that matte black iron bed? A total vibe. Those Home Ideas (@thosehomeideas) really nailed the winter layering too — the green velvet pillows, the fuzzy white throw, the little tree in the corner giving subtle holiday energy without screaming it.
It feels like the kind of room where you’d sip hot cocoa while plotting out your next DIY, and honestly? Count me in.
7. Moody + Modern Boy’s Room
I swear, if teenage me had walked into this room, I would’ve begged my parents to repaint that day.
This shiplap moment by Faith-Anne Leonard takes a bold turn with a deep graphite hue that’s equal parts cool and comforting. It’s moody, but not broody — like a cozy cabin in a galaxy far, far away. And those framed Star Wars blueprints? I mean… chef’s kiss for nerd-chic balance.
The plaid bedding keeps things grounded, while the clean millwork gives the whole space a grown-up edge. A space that says “I know my color theory, but I also own lightsabers.”
8. Blue Meets Board & Batten
This one had me at that dusty blue wall. Soft, subtle, and just cool enough to make your morning coffee feel a bit more luxurious.
Designed by Toll Brothers, the paneled shiplap gives that timeless craftsman feel, but the color? That’s where it sings. It’s like a coastal breeze and a rainy day had a baby — moody but still uplifting. And that blonde wood bed frame? Chef’s kiss for contrast.
It’s the kind of space that makes you want to layer on more linen and maybe say things like “Let’s spend the day doing nothing.”
9. The Cozy-Cool Cottage Hideaway
I’m not saying I’d fake a power outage just to stay in bed here… but I’m not not saying it either.
This tucked-away nook by Fariha Nasir feels like a warm hug wrapped in shiplap. From the curved ceiling arch (hello, storybook vibes) to the soft amber glow of that wall sconce, every detail leans into comfort with intention. The walls and ceiling are painted in a tone-on-tone vertical shiplap that draws your eye up — and makes you wonder why every bedroom isn’t tucked under a roofline.
Soft, layered bedding. Patterned vintage rug. Just enough floral to feel romantic, but not too precious. Basically? This is what “curl up and stay a while” looks like.
10. The Lakeside Zen Moment
Not to be dramatic, but I would happily give up my phone signal for this kind of serenity.

The oversized bed? Fluffy cloud. The view? Straight out of a minimalist fairytale. And that wall sconce situation? Simple. Thoughtful. Slightly smug in its elegance.
Honestly, if I went missing, check here first.
11. The Elevated Earthy Escape
I swear this room gave my nervous system a hug the moment I saw it.
Toll Brothers really understood the assignment: crisp white shiplap for that clean cottage core, warm oak beams that whisper “welcome home,” and a grounding palette of mossy greens, muddy golds, and stone greys. The sculptural pendant light floats like a halo above it all, and those sling-style chairs? I’m already planning imaginary coffee chats in them.
It’s elevated without trying too hard — like the design equivalent of someone who definitely composts but also owns Aesop hand soap.
12. The Forest-Cabin Glow-Up
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but green beadboard and burnt orange are the new coastal cowgirl.
This bold bedroom by Tracy Andersen takes cozy cabin charm and gives it a fresh, design-savvy twist. The rich forest green shiplap halfway up the wall adds grounding drama, while the natural wood bed and terracotta accents bring in just the right amount of rustic soul. And let’s not skip over those perfectly mismatched mirrors flanking the bed — they’re like quiet rebels, and I love them for it.
It’s the kind of room that says: yes, I chop wood… but I also style a mean bookshelf.
13. Quiet Charm in Crisp White
Sometimes, simplicity feels like a deep breath — and this bedroom? It’s exactly that.
When I saw @youmeandsweetpea’s design, I didn’t just see a space. I felt it — soft morning light, creaky floorboards, the rustle of linen sheets. The slim white shiplap creates a timeless frame without demanding attention, and that vintage chair in the corner? A quiet little moment of character I can’t stop thinking about.
There’s something about a room that doesn’t try too hard — it just is. And in this case, it’s everything.
14. Coastal Nod, Wrapped in Calm
You know that moment in a beach novel when the heroine finally breathes? That’s what this room feels like.
Tweak Your Space brought the seaside in without a single seashell cliché. The crisp white shiplap adds breezy structure, while that rich wood headboard gives it weight — like driftwood with a past. I love how the soft blues echo ocean hues without screaming “I bought this at a nautical gift shop.”
And that sculptural rattan light? A little wink from the tropics — she’s not like other overheads.
15. Modern Farmhouse, But Make It Cool
There’s something about gray-on-gray that just feels so composed — like this room has its life together even when I don’t.
I love how @oakmondgold paired the horizontal shiplap with dark framing, making the whole wall feel like a modern art piece in disguise. The barn doors? Chef’s kiss. It’s rustic charm with a bit of edge, and honestly, if this room were a person, it would be quietly sipping black coffee while reading architectural magazines.
Mood: sophisticated cabin escape with room service.
16. Cozy Cabin with a Hint of Heritage
This one made me feel like I should be sipping cider in wool socks, recounting stories by firelight — and I mean that in the best way.
MJG Interiors gave us the classic log cabin moment, but dressed it up with creamy shiplap, exposed beams, and a perfectly imperfect plaid. The black metal bed adds that vintage farmhouse energy, while the wood slice lamps feel like a wink to the great outdoors.
It’s equal parts lumberjack romance and weekend retreat — and suddenly I’m craving pancakes and peace.
17. The Deep Blue Dreamscape
I didn’t know I needed a navy shiplap wall in my life until this room whispered, “trust me.”
Imagine That… Design went all in with rich, inky blue planks — and suddenly, the whole space feels like a modern lakehouse escape. The symmetry, the sleek pendants, the art that feels like you’re floating on water? I’m in.
And those pillows? Chef’s kiss. It’s giving “serene adventure” energy — like a cozy cabin went to design school and graduated top of its class.
18. The Cozy Neutral Nook
Let’s just say if linen sheets and vintage poetry had a lovechild, it would be this room.
I’m smitten with how Suits & Sawdust brought their signature millwork magic into a space that still feels totally lived-in and low-key. That narrow shiplap? So simple, so satisfying. And can we take a moment for the velvet pillows and botanical hints? It’s like a soft exhale in room form.
It’s giving “I read novels on the weekend and drink cinnamon tea from handmade mugs” energy — and honestly, I’d move in tomorrow if they’d let me.
19. The Geo-Chic Statement Wall
Okay, I have to admit — I did a double take with this one. That shiplap? Not your typical planks. It’s giving elevated, architectural, I-have-a-designer-on-speed-dial vibes.
Andrew Dibonge of @elite_home_designs_ took a classic wall treatment and made it feel brand new, almost sculptural. The staggered angles play so beautifully with the light, and against the soft linen bedding? It’s minimalism with a wink. (Also, those orb lamps? I see you, moody glow.)
This is the kind of bedroom that whispers cool sophistication and then throws in a cheeky velvet pillow just because it can.
20. The Coastal Cream Dream
There’s calm, and then there’s whatever magic is happening in this bedroom — and I fully want to bottle it.
This soft, vertical shiplap backdrop by Courtney Ungaro is effortlessly elevated. It feels like a long exhale after a sun-drenched beach day — light, breezy, and beautifully intentional. The boucle headboard and rattan lamps are the kind of touch that says, “Yes, I do know what organic luxury looks like.” (And yes, that chandelier is basically a jewelry moment for your ceiling.)
It’s neutral without being boring. Serene without feeling sterile. And if I had this room? I’d absolutely become a morning person.
21. The Ranch House Remix
You know that feeling when something’s classic but still gives you a little jolt of “wait, that’s cool”? That’s this room.
The wide plank shiplap in a perfectly weathered espresso tone feels rooted and timeless — like it could’ve been part of an old ranch house, but here it is, looking straight out of a designer’s portfolio. CastleRock Communities totally leaned into texture here — with striped curtains, layered throws, and a mix of pillows that says, “I’m cozy, but I’ve got range.”
Also, shoutout to the cowboy hat trio above the bed. Because sometimes, a little yeehaw energy is exactly what a room needs.
22. Coastal Calm with a Twist
The moment I saw this space, I felt my shoulders drop. It’s giving seaside escape with a side of structured elegance — and I’m absolutely here for it.
From the shiplap ceiling (with those dreamy washed beams) to the soft-toned wood planks on the wall, Toll Brothers created a bedroom that whispers serenity. But don’t mistake soft for boring — those moody indigo tones in the rug and throw pillows? Total show-stealers.
Also, can we talk about the light fixture? It’s like a little modern art installation reminding us that even your ceiling deserves a moment.
23. Moody Blue, But Make It Modern
Okay, I’ll admit it — I have a thing for bold wall moments, and this one? Chef’s kiss.
That deep, slatey navy brings just enough drama without overwhelming the room. It’s clean, it’s confident, and thanks to the subtle texture of the horizontal shiplap, it feels custom — like someone actually said, “I care about this wall” (and meant it).
Mattamy Homes USA balanced it perfectly with creamy neutrals and natural woods, which keeps the vibe grounded. Plus, I’m a sucker for a headboard that looks like it could moonlight as a cloud.
