I recently bought a house build in 1930 and am in the process of replacing the wood paneling (which was on top of old plasterboard) in the living room with drywall. The studs are spaced rather strangely, most of them between 20-26 inches OC.

But my biggest concern right now are in the corners. There aren’t studs going the full floor to ceiling in the corners, there is instead a length of wood about 1.5ft long at the top, center, and bottom of the corner, in both directions. What would be the proper thing to do to ensure I am hanging the drywall properly in the corners? As you can see, I can’t have a continuous piece going from floor to ceiling, because of diagonals going along the walls.
