My condo has a staircase that goes up to the living area. It's actually a nice place but whoever did the staircase sheet rock, carpet, and baseboards looks like they jimmy rigged the corner. I hooked a suitcase wheel on it and it tore off some of the sheetrock so I am repairing it, I used spackle and that spray texture stuff and I just need to paint but it will still look like crap.
tl;dr Anyone have any ideas on how to make this look better?
Besides the repair it has always looked like that with the shaved sheetrock
The red outline has always looked like that even when new. That's why my suitcase hooked on it.

throw a small section of corner bead on there, then mud over that?

just go and get similar style white edging, install it down the side and along that wall. Anchor it to the flooring and wall, you should be good to go.

this. the simple solutions are always the best. no need to make an all day project out of a simple fix

cheap hacksaw and same style white border, get corner piece for end of that white edging, and cut/notch a piece to fill that hole. It'll serve the duel purpose of continuing that border down your stairs and adding an easy to replace/fix section for the next time this occurs.
Also bumper cars, vroom vroom!!

Thanks!! I showed a pic of the trim to a guy at Home Depot and he just walked over and grabbed an exact match like it was in everybody's house. I was thinking of putting the trim board up then wrap/cutting it around the corner then filling up the gap (square board round corner) with white silicone.
