Hey, there was a door frame here earlier that I've torn out. To avoid putting in planks, you can drywall and then fill, right? Is it also possible to make it look nice on the wall facing the living room/hallway, or do you have to have door trim there? Maybe it's easiest to have trim around it but drywall in the opening?

If you want to "disguise" the opening, it's best to frame, place drywall (flush with the current walls), insulate in between to avoid sound issues, and then embed strips into the gap so it doesn't crack. Then you can sand and fill as needed to ensure it isn't visible, and paint (probably the entire wall to avoid color variations).
If you don't mind it being visible that there was a door before, you can just frame, place drywall, and only paint there and then add moldings around.

Thank you for your reply, I interpret your answer as that I should close the wall, which I will not do, instead, I will make a nice opening.. can send picture
You can gypsum it if the gaps don't become too damn big; otherwise, you'll need to redo the walls as well.
Apply gypsum, fill larger gaps with gypsum mortar, sand evenly, install aquabead corner reinforcements, putty, sand, putty, sand, putty, sand, prime the new gypsum + putty, paint the new gypsum + putty, paint the entire walls + new gypsum. Take a long can and enjoy your fine work.
