I'm trying to build a photobooth and desperately need some advice
I'm building a photobooth and want a seamless interface.
The current state is the below:
Pic #1 : current state https://preview.redd.it/hlauwzad57ph1.png?width=1412&format=png&auto=webp&s=14fefc97dc42b5fbd583a4c8351ddd83d7af3720
The goal is to look something like the below, where there's a seamless wall where the photobooth machine is "integrated" with the wall:
Pic #2 : the goal https://preview.redd.it/h7yx7jd457ph1.png?width=760&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc41a8f3da98bf4064711c649a86882a8896792d
The walls you see in pic #1 is drywall wrapped w/ a wood vinyl wallpaper -- it's not real wood. The black photo machine is going to be wrapped in the same wallpaper, in an effort to make everything seamless and consistent.
As you can see, there are huge gaps all around the machine, between the machine and the surrounding walls. I'm trying to figure out ways to "fill the gap" to create that seamless look.
Options I'm considering:
\#1 -- multiple panels (wrapped in the same wood vinyl) that are flush with the walls, and of course the panels will have cutouts for the screen, camera, and light
Option #1 https://preview.redd.it/yi6kir3s77ph1.png?width=1552&format=png&auto=webp&s=779da0dbe08dde1c9f7c136997b9d557a8542198
\#2 -- one massive panel (wrapped in the same wood vinyl) that is flush with the walls, with the panel having cutouts for the screen, camera, and light. This is the same as option 1 but just one big panel instead of multiple panels.
Option #2 https://preview.redd.it/b3s4jgjv77ph1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=333defe18e94c10129df9d796f9d7b25854eb70b
\#3 -- a "frame" (kind of like baseboards) that surrounds the machine that overlaps w/ the machine and the wall to cover and conceal the gaps -- the "frame" would be wrapped in the same wood vinyl
Option #3 https://preview.redd.it/20ids3o387ph1.png?width=1436&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f07e09d46faf38fb35baacf58dc733e52c7687d
Questions:
A) Should I be using drywall for all these options, or wood / custom millwork? What material is best for a thin but sturdy panel?
B) how do I hang the panels? the panels would have to be flush with the walls, with the machine sitting behind the panels.
C) Any other suggestions I'm not thinking of that would be a good solution here??
Thanks in advance :)
