Shiplap Wallpaper

Shiplap Wallpaper Made to Your Exact Wall Measurements

Shiplap wallpaper gives you the look of grooved timber plank cladding without saws, nails, or a renovation budget. Every panel from Giffywalls is a custom-size, custom wall covering produced to the exact width and height you supply, so the board lines run cleanly from skirting to cornice with no awkward joins or wasted offcuts. Giffywalls specialises in custom-sized peel-and-stick wallpapers and large-scale murals, providing made-to-measure wall coverings for residential and commercial spaces.

Pick your colour, plank direction, and finish, send your room measurements, and we produce a single fitted piece scaled to your space. We have shipped fitted shiplap panels to homes in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, and the same approach suits a Byron Bay holiday let, a Gold Coast beach house, or a compact Hobart hallway just as well.

Why Shiplap Mural Suits Australian Homes

Shiplap wallpaper is a printed wall covering that mimics the overlapping, grooved timber boards used in coastal and farmhouse interiors. Here is what every Giffywalls order includes:

• A made-to-measure piece sized to your exact wall width and height in centimetres
• Your choice of horizontal or vertical plank direction
• Colourways from crisp white to whitewashed, grey, black, sage green, cream, and neutral tones
• A matte, glare-free finish that reads like real painted timber on camera and in person
• Peel-and-stick or standard application, both renter-friendly and removable
• Free and fast shipping Australia-wide

Our team produces each piece on demand, so a self-adhesive shiplap mural for a rented Melbourne unit and a permanent feature in a Perth new build are made to order rather than pulled from stock. Customers tell us the plank-look surface holds up well in busy hallways and family living areas, and the removable option means renters can take the look down cleanly at the end of a lease.

Faux Shiplap Effect Without the Carpentry

A faux shiplap effect lets you skip timber, adhesive boards, and the dust of a fit-out. The shiplap pattern is photographed and scaled so each plank, shadow line, and groove sits at a realistic width, which is why wallpaper that looks like shiplap reads convincingly even up close. For a kitchen splashback zone or a bathroom in humid Brisbane, this gives the panelled look without the swelling or repainting that real boards can need.

Wallpaper That Looks Like Real Timber Planks

The grain, knots, and subtle colour shifts are built into the artwork rather than added as a flat repeat, so a shiplap effect wallpaper avoids the obvious tiling you sometimes see on cheaper plank prints. We scale the board height to your wall so partial planks do not land awkwardly at eye level.

Vertical and Horizontal Shiplap Layouts

Horizontal planks widen a narrow room and suit classic coastal and Hamptons interiors, a styling direction that stays popular along the New South Wales and Queensland coasts. Vertical shiplap lifts ceiling height and works well in entryways and compact apartments. You choose the direction at order time and we set the artwork to match.

Peel and Stick, Removable, and Self-Adhesive Choices

Every colour is available as a peel-and-stick option or a standard paste application. The peel-and-stick version is removable and self-adhesive, which makes it a practical pick for rentals, studio walls, and temporary styling. Because each piece is customisable to your measurements, there is no trimming guesswork on site.

Shiplap Effect for Renters and Short-Stay Hosts

Renters across Sydney and Melbourne use the removable option to add character to a leased home and take it down without marking the paint. Short-stay and AirBnB hosts on the Gold Coast and in Byron Bay often order the coastal whitewashed look to lift listing photos, since a plank backdrop photographs cleanly and reads warm on camera.

Colour Choices from White to Sage Green and Black

Colour sets the whole mood of a shiplap wall, so the range spans bright neutrals to deep, moody tones.

White, Whitewashed, and Cream Tones

White and whitewashed timber looks keep a room bright and are the go-to for coastal and Hamptons styling. Cream and neutral shades add warmth without the contrast of a strong colour, which suits bedrooms and nurseries.

Grey, Black, and Sage Green Plank Looks

Grey reads modern and pairs well with concrete and matte black fittings. Black plank looks frame a media area or office with a strong backdrop. Sage green has become one of the most requested colours for modern farmhouse and cottage interiors in Australian homes.

Modern Farmhouse, Coastal, and Cottage Styling

Shiplap sits at the centre of several interior styles. Modern farmhouse pairs crisp white planks with black hardware and natural timber. Coastal and beach-house schemes lean on whitewashed and pale grey boards. Cottage and cottagecore rooms suit weathered, slightly distressed finishes that feel collected over time.

Rustic, Weathered, Distressed, and Barnwood Looks

For a rustic or barnwood feel, the reclaimed-wood and weathered options keep visible grain, knots, and tonal variation. These work well in studies, bars, and statement entry zones where a worn timber character adds depth. Tongue and groove, wood plank, and wood panel variations are part of the same range for people who want a tighter or flatter board profile.

Best Rooms for a Shiplap Look

Because each piece is produced to your measurements, the same range works across wet areas, living zones, and tight transitional spaces.

Bathroom, Kitchen, and Laundry

In bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries, the matte finish keeps the panelled look without the upkeep of painted boards. For Queensland and Northern Territory homes where humidity is higher, the printed surface avoids the swelling that real timber cladding can show.

Bedroom, Nursery, Living Room, and Office

A panelled bedhead zone, a calm nursery, a media-room backdrop, or a home-office corner all suit shiplap. Pale tones keep sleeping spaces restful while darker boards anchor a work or media area.

Hallway, Entryway, Ceiling, and Accent Walls

Narrow hallways and entryways gain character from a half-height or full panelled treatment, and a ceiling application adds a cabin-style finish overhead. A single accent wall behind a sofa or bed is the most popular starting point for first-time buyers of the look.

Custom Size Wood Plank and Tongue and Groove Wallpaper

Send your wall width and height and we scale the planks so the layout lands cleanly with no part-boards at eye level. The same made-to-measure service covers wood plank, wood panel, and tongue and groove looks, plus brick and concrete textures if you want to compare a different surface for the same wall. Our printers produce each order individually, so two walls of different sizes still match in tone and board scale.

Ordering, Samples, and Delivery

Order a sample first to check colour and finish in your own light before committing to a full wall. Provide measurements at checkout, and we produce and ship your fitted piece Australia-wide. Installation is straightforward for a confident DIYer, and our guides walk through prep, alignment, and finishing.
