The combining of white shiplap sidetrack , raspy - sawn wood trimming , and the metallic element ceilings blend well together . The sheen from the galvanized panels mildly   reflect the clean shiplap to keep   the elbow room fill with innate brightness .

That intend no seams to worry about at all .   A vast advantage as opposed to working with drywall .
