I prefer painted walls. not lining papered first if I can achieve a good finish. Although the stairs and landing walls in my house are shocking so I have use some rock wall paste the wall lining paper and its looking the nuts althoug not painted it yet. There was one seam that I ballsed up but I use a bit of filler and it wont notice once painted. I would love to have plastered it, but my plastering skills are pretty shocking. But I think I have a top notch finish so far.

I prefer painted as well. We stripped all the wallpaper when we moved into our current house lovely 60s/70s patterned paper. Just one room left to go.

Had to have a few walls skimmed by a professional, but most just needed a bit of filling and sanding.
