Need help with ideas after mental slip (image)
Hello!
I need help with suggestions for a solution after a minor lapse in judgment.
I'm renovating the kitchen in the vacation house and have made an opening into the living room. This opening was supposed to have a countertop and trim around it.
Unfortunately, I've missed the small detail that trim will cause issues for both the microwave and the upper cabinet door, as they will both hit the trim, resulting in limited opening space.
Is there an okay solution without moving the cabinet or wallpapering again? I'm pulling my gray hair out and need tips.

You can just skip the trim and apply a nice edge with filler. Or use an internal reveal in MDF or something similar that you can blend with filler...
Hm... just saw that it was wallpaper... maybe try cutting a perfectly straight edge using a ruler and get an internal reveal to join against it without filler. Tricky but possible.

Or put a plasterboard instead of something like MDF, then you spackle in an angle iron.
One might be able to make "foder" from some metal angle profile, like this one: https://www.hornbach.se/shop/Vinkel...-10x10x1-mm-2-m/8829175/artikel-detaljer.html
It shouldn't be in the way of the doors.

Do as others have suggested and install a trim/fodder or whatever it's called on the "inside" of the hole. Let it protrude a few mm (like 5mm?) outside the wall. When it protrudes, you avoid seeing any crooked cut wallpaper and it's still possible to open the hatches. You might be able to put some type of sealant between the trim and wall/wallpaper if needed.
