I will be installing pre-painted beadboard in the bathroom ceiling and sloped ceiling. I'm wondering how to handle where the ceiling meets the sloped ceiling. Is it necessary to cover this joint with a trim or is there a way to join them without trim? The paneling is horizontal with respect to the sloped ceiling.
 
Of course, it can be done nicely without moldings.
Measure carefully, saw, plane.
Have you seen a clinker-built wooden boat? Precision is key.
 
It can be done without moldings. We have a part of our staircase that is visible in our kitchen, and we've covered it with paneling like the rest of the kitchen walls. Although we have vertical paneling, the principle is the same. By planning and measuring a little, you can ensure that there isn't a seam right at the meeting point, which makes it easier.

On our staircase, there's also an outer corner, and it too can be done without moldings. It's visible in the picture where the paneling is unpainted. In the middle picture, you can see the staircase section from a distance, and in the last one, you can see at the top how the meeting between the wall and the sloped ceiling turned out.

(I didn't have better pictures, and the camera is out and about today.)
 
  • Unpainted wooden paneling on a staircase corner, showing the junction between the wall and sloped ceiling without trim.
  • Green kitchen with paneled walls and ceiling, contrasting white countertop, stove on the left, and doorway leading to another room. Unpainted panel corner detail visible.
  • Green kitchen wall with vertical paneling, shelf displaying utensils, a radio, and hooks holding kitchen tools. Paneling extends without trim to adjacent surfaces.

Thanks for the answers! I think I've made it a bit more complicated than it is :)

Admittedly, we have vertical paneling, but the principle is the same. By planning and measuring a bit, you can ensure there's not a bead exactly where the join occurs, which makes it easier.

That is definitely one of my favorite kitchens. I will save the pictures for next year when we start restoring our kitchen. :)
