bead board

Ridged wall covering

Bead board is a type of wooden paneling made of narrow planks with a distinctive rounded ridge—the bead—running vertically along each joint.

Traditional in American homes, it's used for wainscoting, porch ceilings, and cabinet backs, giving a classic cottage or farmhouse look: We installed bead board in the bathroom to add character.

Also spelled beadboard.
