Working on a small budget/quick project for a bathroom in the basement of my parents' house.
Yesterday, I tore out the toilet and the rest of the contents. On the walls, there was a 60s plastic wall system in the shower corner where the plaster behind could be removed with a light touch.
So now I have a cleared room with 2 of the walls bare down to the concrete blocks, one of which is an exterior wall and the other a former exterior wall (i.e., the same kind). The other walls are thinner interior walls that are left untouched/smooth.
So to the question:
Is there anything preventing me from just patching the drill holes and minor damages and painting directly on the blocks?
If possible, should I use silicate paint?
I think it looks nice and a bit more lively if it were possible to retain the texture that the concrete blocks give these two walls.

Thanks for the answer and yep, it will be a cabin.
