I’ve an old cottage with lovely rounded external corners on the walls inside. I’ve had to use a damp proof membrane on all the downstairs walls so I now have to board them. I’d really love to maintain the curved corners rather than having right angles but I’m not sure how to do it/if it’s possible?

No. This is the DIY plastering section

It's not possible by using the membrane system as You'll void the guarantee by using another system but if that doesn't bother you as follows;
You'll have to make form from a template of the original bullnose.
Then board short on the corners, use renderlite or equivalent on the corners and run the form up an down, filling in misses and repeat until finished.

Great, I get the idea. Thanks! I was intending to tape and joint this room. Will I still be able to finish the corners using taping compound? I’m thinking it should be possible with a bit of care.
I’m not bothered about the warranty on the damp membrane but I’m curious why doing this would void it….I can’t see why it would compromise it?
I’ll take some pics today
