Help for Brick Wall

[kyles41]

I have 2 raked brick walls in lounge which I would now like to bag/render/texture to make them more modern.
Need suggestions/ advice on what product to use? finishes available?? will it need painting AFTER bagging or is there a product to do both? Do I need a painter/ handyman/ interior decorator??
Thanks

Bagging/rendering internal may be messy and difficult to get a good quality finish.

How about direct stick plasterboard onto the bricks? Easy, clean lines, easy to paint.

If you are intending to bag/render I would intend to paint. I have just rendered some garden walls and found the raw render to be somewhat dusty ..... after painting it seems to hold it all together and produce a cleaner finish.
