The previous hallway layout included a cupboard above the stairs and a bit of a bodged surface to the ceiling.
I removed it all and reframed the ceiling and wall above the stairs. See image below.
The framing for the small new section of ceiling leaves the 9mm plasterboard flush with the current ceiling plaster ( under and over flush in places by 1mm) that way I can use bonding in any gaps and skim the whole ceiling as one. Is this a better idea than trying to put plasterboard underflush and matching the new with old?
The final decoration will be lightly textured ceiling paper
