To hate new stud wall and regret splitting the room

[fishtank12345]

Had a stud wall fitted a few days ago. As soon as I saw it in real life I instantly regretted it. Only other work done was the spot lights separated and a switch installed on new wall.

Anyone removed a stud wall lol. Yes we paid over 1k for it, its not even finished yet as the guy did just installed it and doesn't plaster it.

What should I do ? How much would removing it be ... its only been up 3 days its to partition off a section of a large bedroom and its just made the room feel closed off...

Depends how as it really is. Surely you did it for a good reason and the problem for which you wanted the wall will still exist.

I’d leave it for a couple of weeks and see if it grows on you or not. I hated it when we did the same to split our old living room into a hallway plus dining room. But once I adjusted to it, I was so happy we’d done it. We’ve just got excellent lighting in the hallway and a glass door into the kitchen to allow for some natural light to flow through.

Agree with leaving it for a few weeks at least. It will probably grow on you and as pp said, you had very good reason for doing it! Don't make hasty decisions just yet.

If it's any consolation, I had similar misgivings when I had the dividing wall taken DOWN between living and dining room. OMG I couldn't believe how big the area was and felt lost. But six months on it's the best thing ever.

So no knee jerks right!

You split it for a reason, what was that reason? Don't knee jerk react to it until you have lived with it for a bit. It can take time to adjust especially if you are used to seeing the space a particular way.

Leave it unplastered until after Christmas, let it sit with you for a bit. My sister partitioned her bedroom to allow a corridor to be built and despite it still being a huge bedroom it really did jolt you when you first went in. It was definitely the right decision for her.

Thanks everyone , I will wait and see how I go with it then for a bit. The room felt large and airy now not.

The rooms will feel different because you’re not used to it - but you can also dress them differently and rearrange furniture so they essentially become different environments and not simply “not the old room.” More wall space = more art work (an enormous and exciting bonus for me!), you can hang large mirrors if you want to redirect light, have a different focal point in each room, add lamps if the spots seem bright all at once in a smaller space, and they’ll soon feel like home.

Why did the stud wall go up?

What are you using the partitioned off space for?

Ive just had two stud walls put up, they take a bit of getting used to. I've split a massive bedroom in half and closed the stairs off with a door at the bottom because it was draughty. I'm really pleased with it all.

I know how you feel op and sometimes it dont grow on you.
I re-done my kitchen tops and cupbords with a marble look.
Left it a week and i hated it i striped it back it just sucked the life out my kitchen.
Then i done a mirror shower room the tought looked great, took me all day to do it, instant regret,it looked awfu, itt lasted a night.
I started work on it the following moning, took me an hour to strip it back to its normal look.

Some people i know say i like to live with it for a few weeks let it grow on me, yeah im not one of them people.
