I have just plastered most walls in my house. My current strategy is

I was thinking though. The external walls in my house will probably
get bits of condensation on them, I've seen it before. My question is,
should I even consider papering onto these walls? My thoughts are that
maybe the condensation over time would make the paper peel. A simple
paint covering can be wiped.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

You'll get rain, not just condensation, on your external walls, won't
you? Perhaps you could get a stone-pattern paper, then if you sell it
and the next owners don't like stone cladding they can change it unlike
with 'real' numpty stone cladding
