With the introduction of CREATIONS in June, we've been gifted a couple of mods that have made the builder's life much easier. I highly recommend "Walls Of Starfield" by sweetpea704. Not complete walls, but some briliant dividers with a variety of uses.
See photos below for how I've utilized them in my most recent builds.
White dividers behind the desk, between the dining area and infirmary, and in the armory. The back of the bulletin board for the entertainment center "Blinds" along the wall by the navigation table
The Annoying Sink
A sink for a very, very, very tall person (Cheers to Bethesda for capturaing my RL WTF expression perfectly).
Placing a sink at the proper height in the base game can be an exercise in frustration.
Enter our friend, The Poster (this also works with pictures, but sounds less dramatic).
How-To
Place a poster (or picture) on a wall a bit higher than you want the sink to be
Build sink on the poster
Select the poster and the sink should also be selected. If not, adjust the placement of the sink on the poster until both are highlighted when the poster is selected.
Move poster down the wall until the sink is at the preferred height
Also works using a picture.
To camouflage the poster or picture I'll play around with adding other posters/pictures so that the one connected to the sink is just part of the display. Sometimes I will just use a poster with less conspicuous colors and have it blend in.
Fun With Posters & Pictures
Use them as backgrounds on shelves to add variety to our displays. All Hail Space Frog!
Alternate Walls
The lack of structural items in the base game can limit our ability to create separate spaces, but there are many, many furnishing items available in the Build Menu that can act as a wall, a divider, or a cool place to hang the TV.
As fun as this is, here's hoping the Modders among us will add some cool structural pieces now that Creations is a thing.
