Hi Yes lining could definitely be a solution to this, I'd use a heavier gauge lining paper (1200-1400) this can be doubled up if needed. It will smooth out the appearance of the walls, hide imperfections and give you a clean look to paint over. Mav pro lining paper will also hide the joining edges of the lining paper. Hope this helps Thanks, Whistler & Co
