Then you must have mounted the rule too far out compared to the sill and the top wall plate so that it bulges outward..

Don't understand
Look at the image in post #26 and you'll see there's a recess in your drywall panels, when you place two such panels together, it creates a recess of about 100mm.

Here you can clearly see the depression

A recessed wall section next to a white panel is highlighted with a red outline.

Yes, now you see he hasn't cut away the indentation and hasn't filled it either🥲

A few millimeters of difference is enough for it to show in grazing light..
Honestly, a few tenths of a millimeter is enough...

But I think you already know that, it just got a bit awkwardly phrased. :)

That's kind of how it looks in the boy's room at the seams in the wallpaper because glue leaked out and I didn't change my cloth often enough... Could it be something like that otherwise? Just a thought...

No, you can see the chamfer on the sheet. The mistake, as already noted, is that TS didn't cut away that part when mounting against the wardrobe. An easy but unnecessary beginner's mistake.

To do it right, the proper approach is probably to tear down the plasterboard and redo it. It's probably a good idea to watch a film on how to do it before round 2.

That's probably the problem.

That can be significantly improved without tearing down, but it might be a bit difficult to fill.

Or you can cover the unfilled joint with trim (common door trim) matching the baseboard around, perhaps the simplest and best solution. I actually think it would also improve the overall impression of the custom-built wardrobe with an additional framing 👍

Otherwise, nicely done! Otherwise, it looks great except for a small mistake with the drywall, but that's a very common beginner's mistake.

I did not plaster there closest to the wardrobe
Plasterboard is recessed at the edges so you can place a paper/fiberglass tape there when you are placing two boards next to each other.

You then fill the recess with plaster to make it even. If you are finishing against something else, you need to cut away the recess or plaster it flush.

Yep, I've been right there too.

Built the garden shed with inner dimensions 2.4 x 4.8 so it would fit perfectly with whole plasterboards. Of course, I didn't split the boards that were going to the corners in two parts, so I had a dreadful plastering job to do instead. ;)

Have built in an Ikea wardrobe. Framed around it and set OSB and plaster. Then restoration wallpaper. As the title states: How do you avoid having the studs show through OSB and plaster? You can see where the studs are. They kind of shine through the wall.

It might not be as clear in the picture, but that's how it is. On the left side of the picture, it's clearly visible. It would be interesting to know what I've done wrong.
Agree with the others, put casing around to frame and cover up... Nicely built otherwise! 👌

You embed paper tape in the corners. The recessed edges should be there. 😊 The tapes are even "pre-creased" for exactly that.
