I'm almost ready to put up a partition to separate the shop area from the garage bay.

What would you suggest I cover the walls with?

Thought about drywall because it's easy to paint and I need something bright due to lack of windows.
There are drawbacks to drywall, though because it's fragile (easy to knock holes in), though easily repaired.

Because my shop is small with only one window at one end, I think I'd want a light finish.

Because of my small floor area, I will be filling every inch of wall space with something to keep as much off the floor that I can.

I know I can't make a silk purse from this sow's ear and it doesn't need to be fancy; just functional and efficient.

Thanks for your continued patience and indulgence.

I'm hoping your experience, as I ask questions on my set up, will help me reduce mistakes.
