Modern beadboard options include variations like easy-to-DIY manufactured beadboard sheets that often feature wider vertical wood planks.

Traditional beadboard made from wood can absorb water, leading to warping.
If this is a concern, choose waterproof or water-resistant beadboard made from materials such as MDF and PVC.
