Mounting drywall on chimney?

[maleks]

Hello,
I have this yellow-marked wall in the kitchen at the vacation house, on the other side of the wall is the open fireplace that will be replaced by a stove. It is the chimney breast.

That's where the old stove and kitchen fan were located, and the new ones will be there as well.

My question is how do I make the wall look nice. I was thinking of having tiles.

Can I screw fireproof plasterboard onto the wall and then tile on it? I've been told that I can't frame the wall because it's a chimney breast.

Grateful for suggestions.

Why not plaster it before tiling...

Why not polish it before tiling..

So you mean we polish and then tile directly?

So you mean we finish and then tile directly?

Yes, there is no reason to have boards in between..
