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.

You have probably applied too thin a layer of filler in the plaster recesses, and on the cut plaster edges, applied too much filler so that it has become a bump/ridge..

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?

I was thorough... hmm..

A difference of just a few millimeters is noticeable in angled light..

But I used studs. Then directly applied OSB and plasterboard. How can the studs show through?
 
Could it be the joint compound edge on the drywall? I cut it off in corners and against openings.

Joint edge?
 
This is how it looked
 
  • Three empty white shelving units against a wooden wall, with tools and materials scattered on the floor.
  • A partially constructed wooden wardrobe frame with an unfinished plywood panel leaning against it.
The edge of the gypsum board is thinner to accommodate tape and joint compound.

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.

What? I think the whole board looks the same.

Which gypsum have you installed?

Studs are not visible through OSB and plaster, it's the insufficient filling that's the issue.

Then you should take a closer look next time or outsource the work.
