I'm in the process of putting the finishing touches on the renovation; in other words, putting up new baseboards and trim. However, I'm concerned about how to handle the trim in the hallway, where the layers of wallpaper built up over the years mean there is a difference of several millimeters between the outermost wallpaper and the actual door frame/trim. If I install the trims as is, there will definitely be a noticeable gap on the outer side, against the wallpaper.
Sure, there's caulk and paint. But the wallpaper you see in the pictures above is the final one. Maybe not the right approach, but what's done is done, and I'm worried that if I need to caulk too much on the outside, it will be difficult to make it straight and neat.
So, what would you do? Even out the difference with something 4-5 mm thin, paintable, and easily cut material that can either be mounted on the frame before the trim, or directly on the trim before installation? Or some completely different solution? All tips are welcome.
Without being the forum's foremost expert, I would guess that a 5 mm deep difference is a bit too much, and simply putting regular trim might probably look a bit odd. I would suggest using a reveal molding or edge trim or using stepped trim. The latter might need to be planed to achieve the appropriate depth for the step.
