Beadboard in bathrooms - still "in"?

[Anonymous]

We're fixing up a bathroom in an old rowhome. I want to install beadboard. We have it in another bathroom and I love it. Just wondering if this is still "in"? Or is is classic and will never go out of style. Again, our house is 100 years old. We're installing hex tile and subway tile bath.

I think it probably matches the style and age of your home. I wouldn’t hesitate to do this.

Classic

Not a fan, but if you like it, do it. Why do you care if someone here says it's "in" our "out"? Do you really think DCUM is the epitome of high fashion design?

We’ve put it in the bathrooms at our beach house where I think it is classic. I’d be less inclined to use it here, not because it isn’t in but because it doesn’t seem like the right style for a 100 year old row house. What about a more classic panel instead.

Classic. Love ours.

PP- google.

I will say this- still in- it is a style BUT I have it and am renovating my bathroom and am getting rid of it for a more modern look.

I have beadboard walls in my 1890s home. It's actual wood, not the paneling. I'd like to add it to a bathroom accent wall (just one wall), but I can't find a match to the wood in the hallway. The house was renovated in the late 70s so I don't think they make the real wood anymore.

Ugh I hate headboard. I'd much rather see board and batten or even shiplap!

If you like it, do it. Enough people like it that beadboard doesn't pose a problem with resale.

No way. Ship lap is scrap wood.

Take it off gently and send it to me. I love it....

I love it in theory, but in practice our bathroom in our last house had beadboard and it was so difficult to keep clean! All those lines and edges accumulate dust and debris like nobody's business. I would not install it again but look for something equally in tune with the house's age and style of the bathroom that's much easier to keep clean.

You can still buy real hardwood beadboard. We got a quote for it when we remodeled our bath. It’s very expensive because you buy it from cabinet makers, as I recall.
