Hi!
I'm renovating our new townhouse and need some tips -
I have 2 rooms in between that are separated by a wardrobe. I have turned the wardrobe around to make a walk-in closet in the other room.
In the picture, it will be our bedroom
That wall needs to be filled and look nice for the bedroom. My question is how would you tackle this most easily?

My idea is to put up an MDF board or drywall - spackle - wallpaper and paint. However, if we put drywall there, it will bulge out a bit.
 
  • Wooden frame partition wall with visible studs and panels, intended for a bedroom renovation to become a walk-in closet; white door open on the left.

Maybe a plywood board could work?

There is also thin masonite.

How is the rest of the wall constructed?

Plasterboard and framing
 
I would have taken down the plaster on the rest of the wall, planed the studs so they are all at the same level, and put up new plaster. But it all depends on the level of ambition you have. The frugal option is to plaster over the hole, paint/wallpaper in a contrasting color, and call it a feature wall...

Thanks for the response🙂
I won't be able to remove the whole wall and apply new -

However, it's possible to push the wardrobe frames forward, do you think I should do that to fit the plasterboard so that it sits evenly with the wall?
 
Were you planning to put the drywall in the loose wardrobes? Haven't considered putting in studs?

Yes, that's what I was thinking, but maybe it's not so smart to do? The previous owner had done that, anyway.

I can only push the wardrobes forward so much, a couple of cm.

What are the level differences now?
 
The wall will crack when the closets on the other side are used. I would have put up a frame and then plasterboarded.
