It sounds like you are using sheet beadboard. If so, then seams will be a problem. How about trying plank beadboard instead? It installs similar to hardwood flooring so you can vary the seam placement by using diffrent lengths of board. The tongue and groove holds it all together nicely. Here is a brief reference quote.
"These tongue- and-groove pine boards are about 5/16 in. thick x 3 1/2 in. wide and have a rounded bead milled along one edge and a second bead routed down the center. When the boards are installed, each appears to be two narrower ones.
Most well-stocked lumberyards and home centers carry beadboard in 8-ft. lengths individually or in bundles. Expect to pay about $1 to $1.50 per square foot."
