If Plaster, I would suggest pulling it all down to the studs and replacing with drywall. It will make a more versatile base for your remodel. If it is simply a compound, you can sand it off and redo the compound in a smooth finish, or panel over or wallpaper the new drywall.<br><b>References : </b><br> It depends on if it is a plaster wall or drywall compound over drywall.

Use pva primer and plasterboard adhesive transferring electrics, skirting boards etc. You can get artex remover but some of the old products contained asbestos<br><b>References : </b><br> without knowing the construction of the walls you can cover them with plasterboard.

Hire a plasterer (or learn at Home Depot) about how to put a smooth coat on. This is costly, but worth it. 2. A drywall sander with expertise can sand down the "lumps", but there will still be a residual lumpiness you may not like...and the dust is unbelievable.... 3. Visit a decorator or get some home magazines. It's increasingly cool to cover the walls with some fabric or bamboo paper which can have a padded backing that will mask or complely cover the lumps. This is the most reasonable option - new look, no mess (but be aware the ceiling - if bumpy - will still bother you...but everything isn't perfect....a great fixture will hide many flaws with splendor. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> Three options:

It looks like stucco, and hides a multitude of problems. I would try to sand it off if possible, or, if the walls are drywall, rip them out and start over. Here in the South, most of the ceilings you see are stucco, or "popcorn" ceilings. A big fad in the 80's, you see them everywhere!<br><b>References : </b><br> The best way to hide imperfections is to use a textured paint. It looks like stucco, and hides a multitude of problems.
