Some Simple / Small Dry-Lining

[Diggory]

Hi forum - grateful some advice please…..

Old house, small and odd shaped rooms - very few plugs, sockets etc.
I’ve a couple of alcoves (one at 600mm wide and one at 800mm widet) that aren’t much use TBH.
I’d like to dry line the end wall only (of both) so that I can run in some new sockets.
In one alcove I’ve had some damp problems (now treated) and the other is in a bathroom.

How far off the existing wall should I space it ?
And should I fill the space with something like a rock-wool or a kingspan ?

Thanks D

Insulated plasterboard stuck on with foam.
Then a few TIMCO plastic insulation fixings.
Foam will act as a damp barrier

Than you @Wayners - that’s so different to what I had in mind.
So stick it directly to the wall an a dot & dab fashion with an expanding adhesive ?
And what do the TIMCO fasteners do ?

I was thinking I’d need some airflow; some battens / framing.
And maybe even a vent top and bottom.
