As you can see, the garage has cut a hole in the ceiling for my spiral staircase... But now I'm having difficulties figuring out how to make it look nice around the cut edge. Putting up a regular wooden trim is not an option, but do you have any experiences or ideas?

Grateful for all the help I can get 😀 Hole cut in ceiling for a spiral staircase, showing unfinished edges. Tools and screws are visible on the floor nearby, suggesting ongoing construction.

Why no trim?
 
I had manufactured my own moldings from laminated wood, sawed out the correct radius and width, then milled them.
 
Depends a bit on how the rest of the decor looks, but maybe a coarse rope?

Sounds completely right, but such an effort feels misprioritized right now... Therefore, I would like something flexible/bendable... A thick rope might not be completely wrong unless someone else has a flexible material to suggest.

Thanks for the advice!

Hehe, no but seriously - thin plywood (4mm) cut into strips. Straight strips that are to be bent and bent strips on the top, glued in the corner, screwed into the base, sanded/sanded and maybe painted

maybe?
