Why Interior Designers Can't Wait To Ditch Shiplap In 2022

Writer Daniel Davis

Just as quickly as a trend becomes popular, it can be left behind. According to Camille Styles, while you should feel free to decorate your home however you see fit, if you are following design trends or working with a designer, there are a few things you may want to avoid as we enter a new era of home trends. Some trends no longer in style are the love for fast furniture (Camille suggests buying vintage pieces instead), all-white kitchens (time to bring color back into our homes), and yes, the ever-popular shiplap.

According to Southern Living, while shiplap is a versatile product that can bring life to a space, it can also be quite difficult. If a piece of shiplap gets damaged, it can be difficult to fix and may require replacing the design entirely to make it work. Besides the hard work, many interior designers can't wait to get rid of shiplap because it is simply overdone. According to Real Homes, many designers feel it has been used too much. "Although I personally like the look when appropriate, I think the trend is going to play itself out by 2022, if it hasn't already," designer Amanda Thompson told the publication.
