Hello
we have a newly built semi-detached house
all walls and ceilings will be finished with a Q2 level skim coat
we do not want to use wallpaper but instead plaster and paint the walls or use colored plaster
How can we make the walls look nice as a DIY project?
we plan to plaster the walls as smoothly as possible ourselves using filler compound
What should I do next—just paint them? Or what do you think about textured plaster? What would you recommend?

First of all, Q2 is already plastered. He means filling, not plastering.
Textured or paintable plaster usually looks pretty bad and is suitable for a utility basement.
However, a smooth filling is required even there, because it hardly conceals anything.
And if you just want to paint, the preparation work—filling and sanding until the doctor comes—is even more demanding and definitely not for beginners.

We are looking for a fairly simple solution. What do you think about using a floor sander to smooth the walls?
What type of paint would you recommend for a KfW 55 house — regular paint, or should it be lime or clay-based paint?

Roll plaster/paint-on plaster usually looks be......n and can be used for the utility basement.It only looks like "be....n" if you make it look that way. I don’t understand how paint-on plaster can generally be downgraded to just basement paint; being creative is never a bad thing in interior design.
Above all, it’s overlooked that the important thing is what result the original poster wants to achieve; therefore, everything can be right or wrong depending on that.

Pwnage6197 Sep 2021 14:27Are roll-on and brush-on plaster the same thing?
I would like to achieve as simple as possible a uniform finish on the walls. A slight grain or texture is not a problem as long as it is consistent.
We have not plastered or sanded walls before, so I am looking for easy DIY options to get a good-looking result.
A floor sander for a simple and even sanding would be an advantage, right? So you can sand large areas directly.

With a good roller-applied plaster, you can hardly go wrong (e.g., Haering Deko Quarz Elf in fine, medium, and coarse - small surface irregularities are better concealed). You can also tint it, so you may not need an additional paint layer.

Are roller plaster and brush-on plaster the same? Often, yes. Both are considered fine plasters as a surface finish. You can usually apply them by rolling or brushing, depending on the desired effect. However, I find brushing to be, let’s say, an acquired taste.
