Hello everyone
I am currently trying to familiarize myself with the topic of house construction and keep coming across some confusing questions. For example:
I have a building specification that states all living rooms will have fine plaster (quality Q2 cement-lime or gypsum plaster) applied to the walls. Nowadays, it is common to use plaster instead of wallpaper on walls. Would this type of plaster be suitable for that purpose, or does it require additional treatment, such as a different kind of plaster? Or does it definitely need to be painted or wallpapered afterward (the walls are intended to be white anyway)?
If a different type of plaster is needed, can it be applied directly, or does the fine plaster always have to be used as a kind of base coat?

This is how the plaster looks here, without any additional treatmentI don’t mean to offend you... but from a distance, everything looks smooth [emoji848]
Maybe I should have mentioned that the spot I photographed meets Q3 standards (that’s what I was told)

Here, as promised, are our walls according to the general contractor in quality level Q2:
First, just a fine plaster finish with wall paint:
And then fleece wallpaper with paint on top:
