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?

Roll plaster/brushable plaster usually looks decent and can be used for a utility basement.We didn’t use the expensive roll plaster for the basement! There, paint and quartz sand worked just as well 😉KingJulien8 Sep 2021 07:52I think calling it "terrible" is a bit exaggerated. Admittedly, there are some uneven spots, but that might also be partly due to the technique used.

Admittedly, there are some uneven spots.This is completely normal. Due to the technique, you will never achieve a perfectly even finish (even with two coats), even if you spray the textured render on (which is possible as well).Just saw on Instagram yesterday that someone renovated a German terraced house like this:
- Filling + sanding
- Applying plaster twice with Knauf Easy Putz
- Painting
It must have been quite a lot of work for 120m2 (1,292 sq ft), but the result looked good, in my opinion (as far as you can tell from the pictures).

It must have been very labor-intensive for 120m2 (1300 sq ft),Not more labor-intensive than other options. You can tint the plaster (with suitable colorant) and just roll it on, as if you were painting the walls.Otherwise, you fill and sand (if necessary), apply painter’s fleece, then paint (twice!?). That doesn’t improve it either.
