Hello all happy (?) builders!
I currently live in a condominium and will divide one of the rooms in half to make two.
Since there are no wardrobes in the room, I'm going to make the wall almost S-shaped so that there is space for an 80*60 cm wardrobe embedded in the wall on each side. I will be using 45*70mm studs, OSB+Gypsum, and possibly insulation.
The question now is how do I place the studs in the corners?
Maybe use 90x90mm studs in the "corners"?
How do you usually solve this as builders?
When I then put up OSB/Gypsum boards, how do I easily manage the inner corners?
I will also mount corner protectors in the outer corners as this seems sensible.
The floor, which is relatively new laminate flooring on an old (and unfortunately very damaged wooden floor), I will lift so that the floor joist is nailed to the old wooden floor and then put the laminate flooring back again.
Attached is a very simple (Paint in Windows...) drawing of the wall.
I would appreciate responses and good suggestions and tips before I start....
Best regards, NetNut

I had joined the side walls of the wardrobes facing each other with connecting screws and skipped the wall segment "between" the wardrobes, this way you avoid the problem with regling in the inner corners. Then you don't have to remove the laminate flooring unless you absolutely want to, you can nail straight through if you pre-drill with a small bit first so the laminate doesn't crack.
Well, unfortunately the wall is 2.60 high and the wardrobes are only 2.20, otherwise it was a good idea. Regarding the laminate flooring, I've considered that too, but I think it's worth the effort to do it properly as I might decide in the future to change the floor when the children get older... There's unfortunately no wear class for children... the others just aren't enough...
You can solve the corners, for example, here. Now, the pictures show constructions with steel studs, but it works similarly with wood. Since it seems like you are going to partition a room for children, I would definitely fill the wall with insulation, at least 45 mm. Also remember to seal properly between the new wall and adjoining building parts.
