Different widths of beadboard

[GalliMattias]

Building a house in turn-of-the-century style. I'm considering beadboard on the ceilings and also on the walls in a couple of rooms.

I've been thinking about using 120 mm wide paneling on the ceiling to save some nailing (since I also have sloped ceilings on the second floor to cover) but I'm hesitant if I should then also go with 120 on the walls where I want it.

I had originally thought of 95 mm for the walls but I'm worried that it might give a "restless" impression with different widths.

What do you think? Should I go with the same width or is it just my imagination that it might look odd with different ones?

Taste and preference here, personally I would go with 120 mm for everything. I think it gets a bit cluttered with the narrower variant, and you also save some sawing and nailing 😉

I think the opposite, I would use 95mm everywhere.

Then I have a vote on each width...😂 But you still seem to agree on not mixing widths?🤔
