How do I finish carpentry around the door?

Casing against the frame and a trim, then a white board above the door as a continuation of the existing one. Maybe a moulding between the board and the frame.

Trim is exactly what you're thinking of. "Påsalning," as Prototypen describes, is a strip that you attach on the inside against the frame, and it is as wide as the distance to the wall. It is necessary to cover the gap between the door frame and the wall and provide some support for the trim. "Påsalning" in this case can also be called an internal "smyg." Otherwise, you should follow Prototypen's instructions.

Hi Trekko, I'll see if I can upload some really simple pictures for you... call it study material..
The first and second pictures show beading with masonite.... (I usually measure to the millimeter to get it right... but it's also fine to do it by eye...
The third picture shows the reveal... (Measure at the top and bottom) draw a line then cut...
Fourth picture: Shows finished reveal with casing.... The casing is the trim you have inward towards the room, in this case, a molding strip.... note, you must miter at the top... if you have been meticulous when you installed the masonite, i.e., set them at an angle with the frame, and you have a nice gap all the way with the reveal aligned with the frame, then you'll have a 45-degree angle at the miter.... +/- one degree..... the rest you'll solve with acrylic sealant....

Thanks for the help!
The finished result turned out like this.
There was quite a bit of hassle with the piece that was missing above the ceiling, but I'm quite satisfied.
I first thought it would look odd since I don't have any trim above.
That was actually why I started the thread to get help with.
I added various timber and masonite pieces before putting on the pre-painted mouldings in mdf.

So, now it's just the threshold left.
I have a green strip to be mounted between the door and the side panel.
But I'm not sure if I should pull it all the way down to the floor or if I should build a threshold underneath...
I also need tips on how to build in front of the threshold; I expect there will be at least 2 different pieces of oak trim.

The camera really shows the floor from its worst side, it doesn't look that bad in reality, but we are going to sand the solid oak floor again by summer =)

yes Nx... That turned out well, I hope you found some use in my tips.... 
Unfortunately, we craftsmen are not allowed to respond in threads concerning matters like this, as there has been a minor civil war here on BH regarding the craftsmen's presence or absence... But I'll try to help you anyway... Guess how..
