How to flatten out an L-shaped wall?

We have just purchased a home, we haven't moved in yet, so excuse the limited photography. 

  • This back wall in the first image has a drop (250mm) where the brick meets the laundry. This has a (relatively) small TV mounted
  • I wish to mount a larger, Frame TV, and make that corner feel a lot more refined 
  • Thoughts on how this would be done, not necessarily by me, but just so I have a good guide of what needs to occur

From what I can tell, will need to build a timber frame to house plaster – and it getting a bit tricky where the plaster meets the brick, and evening that out across to the cornice and skirting (and then electrical).

Would love other ideas of what I can do with this space. The room isn't large, and losing this surface isn't really on the cards unfortunately.01.jpg02.jpg03.jpg

Hello @newtoallthis 

 

I suggest speaking to a handy person who has experience in building cabinetry and is familiar with stud walls. You can probably post this project on Airtasker or Hipages, I recommend putting in as much detail as possible so that you'll have a good chance of getting a quick response. 

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi @newtoallthis 

 

A very experienced handyman could do this job, but you would want to see some past work as this type of project though fairly basic has a lot of different expertise involved, such as carpentry, plasterer and painting. You would also need an electrician to provide the TV's powerpoint and antenna connection.
