Kate Marker Interiors

For a moody modern feel, paint your shiplap fireplace wall in an earth tone that matches the walls, trim, and ceiling. Kate Marker Interiors mixed dark olive green vertical shiplap with a painted fireplace surround finished in brick that adds contrast with the rustic exposed natural wood ceiling and beams.

Where Does Shiplap Come From?

Shiplap boards are typically long and narrow, with rabbeted grooves on the top and bottom that overlap to create a more textural alternative to drywall. The technique was first used on ships, then popularized in 20th century American homes, and fell out of fashion until it was revived by HGTV hosts Joanna and Chip Gaines in the 2010s with the craze for all things modern farmhouse that continues to this day.
