ᐅ Basement wall panels

Hello everyone,

We recently built a new house and have now been living in it for two months (end terraced house).
In the basement, we have a room that is basically still "bare" and that we want to start working on gradually.
The screed floor is in place; our main focus is on the walls. It is intended to become an office/hobby room eventually.
The room is fully insulated from the outside, the exterior walls are concrete but still unfinished on the inside. The wall to the neighbor is masonry and not yet plastered, and drywall partitions have been installed towards the hallway.

What to do, said Zeus :-)

Do you have any good ideas? What should definitely be avoided?

I just want to get some suggestions before we contact a local company.

Thanks in advance,

So, this is how we did it:
- Concrete walls and masonry walls that were later intended to become living spaces (for example, in our basement the office/guest room) were fully plastered.
- Other basement rooms: masonry was plastered, concrete was only sanded and then painted. You can still see that it is concrete, but that doesn’t bother us much for a boiler room or storage area.

Plastering is naturally the most attractive solution and probably the most expensive as well. However, for an office or hobby room, it’s definitely worth considering.

As an alternative, you can also glue drywall panels directly onto the wall using adhesive plaster or something similar. In Europe, this might be somewhat cheaper, but it’s not necessarily the easiest job, especially when it comes to filling joints and sanding...
