I am going to renovate a room on the upper floor of a 1½-story house, so sloping ceiling/wall. Currently, there's a woven wallpaper that I would like to remove/conceal with new cladding. I'm not considering nailing a regular wood panel, but I would like tips on a neat and stylish ceiling board that can be installed instead. (It would be nice to avoid wallpapering the "ceiling").
 
Hornbach has laminated panels (1200x190mm?) in 6mm MDF with tongue and groove that can be stapled up... Kind of like installing click flooring on the ceiling...

Well, what kind of appearance are you after then...?

I personally install Tak-ess panels. Simple and quick. And no painting or filling.

Tak-ess and Huntonit ceilings are pretty much the same thing, but Tak-ess is significantly cheaper.

I also fasten the boards with a pneumatic staple gun and long (38mm) narrow-backed ga16 staples.
Staples are dirt cheap, and it goes super fast.

Something that looks better than yellow woven wallpaper that comes off in big bubbles... Surprise me! :)

I don't really know what options are available and I'm grateful for any tips. I want to avoid having (too) preconceived notions about how it should look.
Stapling and clips sound incredibly convenient!
Is "ceiling panel" the most common name for this type of material?
