Hi @atitcshah 

 

What a  gap probably to big for fillers unless your  keen on a more  flush finish?

 

The easiest  way is the flat timber moulding  glued into place and  painted.  Some  come pre undercaoted white and you wont need to paint it as a quick  fix.

 

Moulding is a flat piece of  timber or can be a curved shape that pleases your eye that completly covers the gap in a nice way.  You can glue with liquid nails sparingly and if your timber moulding leaves a smaller gap use  no More gaps also  use on that crack in photo  between skirting  board. clean up water and damp cloth and wipe bead of no more gaps,

 

An  example of suggested  moulding.

 

42 x 12mm 1.8m Moulding Tasmanian Oak Single Bevel Select - 1.8m I/N: 0070555 $19

Porta 30mm 2.4m Moulding Pine External Corner Round Edge Clear - 2.4m

I/N: 0081539   $34.90

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @atitcshah. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about covering a gap.

@Jewelleryrescue has beat me to it, and a nice timber cover moulding will bridge that gap. As it's an internal corner, I'd go for a flat section or a scotia moulding.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
