If you checkout the Oakwood Group on Facebook, some folk have done some really nice ply/clad finishes. You can play with the shadows to create depth, too. Looks really nice.

Yea, that was my original intent with 12mm birch ply. Was going to do 2mm shadow gaps between the panels, with dark caulk or something similar, and trim out all the reveals with the ply edge-grain. For quality ply though it’s just too much ££& for now. Maybe if my bonus is nice come spring I’ll redo it, but for now I just need it clad so the spark can finish up and I can heat & light it, then start using it properly.

My local indie wood yard has lined their office out with OSB and tbh it doesn't look that bad.

Just do it in 12.5mm plasterboard and get it skimmed lol. Much easier
