Hello,
We plan to install paneling, probably beadboard, on the walls in the living room. We have decided on vertical paneling. When we looked at paneling available in stores, most lengths are 360cm and up. Now, regarding the technical building aspect, our ceiling height is 240cm. Can you splice vertical paneling, or does it look completely wrong? Otherwise, there will be a lot of waste. How do you do it?
Thanks in advance

360cm and upwards, as mentioned. Aim for 480cm and split in half.
Joined beadboard looks completely wrong and ugly.

Taste is, as they say, like a butt.
With a ceiling height of 4.60 meters, I agree that it can certainly work well with seams.
But in a living room, I would rather opt for seamless. It goes twice as fast (well, almost) to install as well.
I have had seams in the kitchen in a couple of places and it can look good even with planed beadboard, as long as you miter and seam over the joist. If you're going to paint over it, use filler for the rest. But as I said, I would have done like Johan G and bought 480.

Depending on how the room looks, a lot of the "waste" can actually be used above/below windows/doors/stairs/radiators, etc.
I had the same problem when I was cladding my house. I needed 2800mm panels so I ordered a package with lengths up to 3300 to minimize waste, but received a "standard package." However, the waste became insignificant once all the windows/doors/gable peaks were covered.
