I need to decorate a bedroom, and I can't be arsed with the upheaval
and
mess of having it plastered (it will be necessary), I just want to be
able to paint.

So I am thinking of sticking plasterboards to the wall with something
inbetween the boards such as a thin piece of timber, slightly proud, so
I don't need to try too hard to line the edges up and it will
(hopefully)look as if I have done it on purpose.

Has anyone done this sort of things before? Did it look OK?

Tapered plasterboard with filler where the boards meet?

Adam


Can good results be achieved? I imagine it would always be possible to
see where the filler is after painting.
I would rather do somthing controversial than have a crap version of the
norm.


I have never done it. The hotel I was doing some electrical work at has had
it done. You cannot tell where the joints are.

Yup, if board and fill is done right, the results are spot on and you
won't see the joins. You can stick up a frame screw boards to it, or dot
n dab the boards.
