Garage construction simple with a shed roof and cathedral ceiling. It's part of a fairly modern built house with a fairly modern appearance. Now it's time to clad the interior walls and I'm having difficulty deciding what to choose. Using wood paneling is appealing for the durability and ease of hanging lighter items, plus avoiding plastering a lot of drywall which is still sensitive. I'm having trouble choosing which type of panel though, tongue and groove, flat groove, various gaps here and there. There seems to be some confusion even among those selling lumber. Flat groove apparently means the board is planed smooth, but end groove is that the end is "grooved," but groove is supposed to be a type of board? Or is groove also synonymous with tongue and groove?
In any case, I want to achieve a nice result and avoid a cabin or sauna feel, and I'm having a bit of difficulty deciding what wood paneling to choose. Do you have any tips? Or do you have any completely different ideas for wall cladding? I was considering MDF in wood imitation but it doesn't even seem to be cheaper, so I've almost ruled that out entirely.
 
I placed OSB+6mm renovation plasterboard in the garage I just partially renovated. Painted directly on the plasterboards. But I had quite low demands on the finish and painted plasterboard on top of a wooden wall is what's been there before.

Edit. You get a picture too.
A partially renovated garage with OSB and renovation plasterboard walls, freshly painted. A ladder and wooden planks are visible on the floor.

As I said, I want a nice result.
 
I think you should put 15mm plywood on the walls, it's strong, stylish, simple, and easy to screw into.

Not sure I agree with it being nice-looking. I wish for a decent finish on the end result and painted walls.

I would never even consider any MDF wood imitation on the garage walls, it is not beautiful, bad for attaching things to/on, and quite fragile.

Plywood comes in many qualities and is great for painting if you wish.

I have 20mm white-painted raw boards in a cold garage, it's simple, durable, and easy to fasten things to.

Stylish, strong, with and without finish and without spackling. A difficult equation, here is my suggestion:
Vertical OSB. Horizontal drywall 900mm, painted with washable paint. Board over seams and center screw line. Board can have a beveled top edge so that a "French cleat" type hanging can be used.

Why aren't you positive about installing wood paneling, painted or white-waxed, type?

I am positive about wood paneling, I didn't think that tips about regular sawn timber or rough-cut would suit someone considering using mdf.

Of course, I don't mean raw plank or regular saw wood, but smooth tongue-and-groove and similar intended for interior wall use. Would love to have tips on what paneling to choose to make it look quite modern and stylish and not like a sauna.

Modern, stylish, garage!?
Contact an interior designer deluxe.
Important that you are satisfied, I guess🤔.

Ceiling panel then? Like Moelven Regina in 60*120cm format? Probably can't hang anything on it though.

Or why not parquet flooring, so you get lots of colors and patterns to choose from. I have myself white-stained single-strip ash parquet on a feature wall in the stairs and behind radiators.

White V-joint panel in the widest dimension might work, other narrower or with greater accent in the seams might look like a sauna.

Plywood is modern, stylish, and easy to attach things to. Additionally, it can be painted if desired (but ply is not fine enough for TS)

Wow, you get offended so easily. Please leave my thread because you're really adding nothing.
