How to prevent the studs from showing through OSB and drywall?
I have built in an Ikea wardrobe. Framed around it and installed OSB and drywall. Then restoration wallpaper. As the title says: How do you avoid the studs showing through the OSB and drywall? You can see where the studs are. They kind of shine through the wall.
It may not be as clear in the picture, but that's the case anyway. On the left side of the picture, it is clearly visible. It would be interesting to know what I did wrong.

If it has been carefully plastered before, it should be completely impossible to see where the studs are located.
I was very sparing with the filler. Applied filler where it was needed (between gypsum boards etc..). But how would this make the studs visible?Rejäl said:

On the right, you can clearly see the recessed joint edge on the drywall. It is usually easiest to cut off 5 cm of the edge in corners and ends so that you avoid having to spackle the entire recess.
Studs are not visible through OSB and plaster, it's the insufficient filling that's the issue.M Mjärn said:
Then you should take a closer look next time or outsource the work.M Mjärn said:
