Before we get started with the 25 beautiful shiplap fireplace ideas I have to share with you, here’s a little look at my recent white shiplap fireplace makeover.
Our White Shiplap Fireplace Wall
Our Living Room walls are huge. Like 20′ high, huge. With chunky crown molding and 10 extra large windows that let all of the light and the view of our backyard shine through.
But, the millwork above our mantle seemed so small compared to the walls and windows. The fireplace design bothered me for 6 years.
![A beautiful Shiplap Fireplace Wall in a Living Room with vaulted ceilings. Here's how it was made and why it was a near fail, guys. It's all about material choices. But, I ended up loving it after a couple simple fixes. #Shiplap #Fireplace #LivingRoom #FixerUpper #AbbottsAtHome](https://abbottsathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Shiplap-Fireplace-Wall-Before.jpg)
So, in 2018 I hired a crew to come in to install shiplap above the fireplace with power outlets and a tv mount. I’m so glad I made that change.
When I walk in that Living Room now, that beautiful white shiplap fireplace wall feels like a true centerpiece. It just draws your eyes up and makes the room feel grand.
BUT, I have to admit, it didn’t really turn out the way I pictured it. The contractors used the wrong shiplap and the trim wasn’t quite right. I wish I had used images to show them exactly what I wanted.

But, it’s hard to come up with good examples of shiplap above fireplace mantels… until now! It’s 2024 and AI image creation is easier than ever. And, while not perfect, the results are still pretty good.
So, here’s 25 beautiful ways to use shiplap above fireplaces, using tons of different home design styles and colors, to help you decide how you want your fireplace wall to look.
