White beaded board creates gorgeous texture and visual interest in this tiny powder room. Vertical beaded-board panels make the small bathroom look and feel larger while setting the perfect backdrop for vintage-inspired accents.
Even a small amount of beaded board can have big impact. Narrow-plank beaded board provides a stylish backdrop for this built-in storage unit at the foot of the tub.
Create an unexpected twist by turning beaded board on its side. The horizontal lines create the illusion of space in this small sink alcove. The unique tabletop counter looks light and airy in the tight space.
If an angled ceiling prevents floor-to-ceiling beaded board, just install it to the top of a doorway. The thick trim at the top of these beaded-board panels provides definition and emphasizes the tall ceiling.
Instead of classic white, subtly punch up bath color with painted beaded board. The material is easy to paint, and you don't have to commit color to the whole room. For an extra splash of personality, the homeowners chose to put painted beaded board on the top half of the walls in this comfy cottage bathroom.
Beaded board is a classic choice for a tub surround. The look is refreshing, and it easily disguises the access panels needed for jetted tubs. Plus, the texture is subtle enough to blend with stone countertops and flooring.
Add dimension to an all-white bath with beaded board. In the same color as the walls, beaded board adds a hint of texture and complements traditional cottage styling.





Where did you get the wallpaper? No one sells wallpaper anymore (a sign that it's out of style?!).

Everything in it was purple (fixtures, flooring & wall tiles) and I replaced it all with new white fixtures, laminate marble look flooring and white bead board. Above the bead board I painted it aqua. It looks GREAT!
