The half exposed stud.
How can I hide this hole?

Hello.
Awhile ago I had plumbers make a repair to bathroom plumbing. They had to cut a hole in the wall to access the pipes.
When the dust cleared, there was a lot of dust, this hole was left. I want to put something there to cover it. Something that can be removed easily if access to this area is necessary again. Any ideas?
Know, that there is only half a stud availble to attach anything to.
Thank you for your help.

The support block.
This is the access area. aka the hole.
ThiThis is what's behind the wall.
Put a nice picture in a frame or a poster in a frame and hang over it.
Make a decorative door for the wall
We did what Pamela suggested and made a door. It's not on hinges, but has beveled edges and is screwed to the wall and painted the same color. Our hole was in a place near the base of the wall and not suitable for a picture cover-up.
A nice cabinet for extra storage would be a smart addition, or maybe just a mirror that appeals to your style of decor. You could also get some decorative paneling, and do the whole wall. There are many things I could suggest, but I don’t know what you are looking for, or if you’re on a budglet. Good Luck
We had the same issue. The access was near the floor facing the hall. I designed access from the hall and put a built in shelf , floor to ceiling. The shelves are designed to lift off. I used heavy duty Velcro tape to hold a piece of wall board to the open access. I had covered the wall board and used decoupaged over the hemp fabric. I lined the whole back of shelf (wall with the hemp and decoupage).
To access remove shelf, remove wall board that is adhered with heavy duty Velcro. Replace when done. I have easy access and a handy shelf
That sounds good. Do u have a picture of this to share?
You’re welcome. Good luck
