beadboard
Grooved wall covering
Beadboard is a type of wooden paneling made of narrow vertical planks with a distinctive rounded ridge—the bead—running along each joint.
Traditionally used as wainscoting in kitchens, bathrooms, and porches, it evokes a cottage or farmhouse aesthetic: We installed beadboard in the mudroom.
Modern versions come in sheets or composite materials.
