Suggestions for wall materials for garage?
I will soon be covering the inside of the garage walls. Right now, there are only studs, insulation, and plastic on them.
The question is, what should I put on the inside?
I can start by saying that I have done a lot of construction on my house, so I don't want to, or have the energy to, spend a lot of time on this. So drywalling and plastering are out.
What I'm considering is putting regular particleboard on the walls and then just painting them. What do you think, will it look ugly and shabby?
Any other suggestions that aren't very expensive or require a lot of work?
Or will particleboard suffice?

Use OSB plywood instead of chipboard, it looks just as bad, but is better and cheap.
When the desire and money appear, you plaster over the OSB, then it's child's play to plaster, and you don't necessarily need to spackle, painted unspackled plasterboard looks better than chipboard.

Much more durable than regular plasterboard. It can be attached without having OSB/plywood behind it.

Dad has chipboards in the garage that he just putty over the screw caps and then rolled. It actually looks really good for a garage. So I don't know why everyone is so against chipboard? Hard, durable, and smooth surface that can be painted directly.

It is probably 6 kr per linear meter. It will be a bit more per square meter.
