I'm planning to renovate the hallway (remove wallpaper, spackle, paint the walls) and then I'm thinking of skipping the door trim. Does anyone have suggestions on how to make a nice transition between the wall and the door frame?
The starting point is that the door frame is already in place and is flush with the wall, see image below (1).
I’ve also thought about completely removing the door trim in two places where we don't have the doors anymore. Does anyone have suggestions on what material to use and how to make a nice transition there, so it doesn't crack at the corners, for example?
I've considered placing MDF where the door frame was and then applying mesh and spackling before painting?
See image below (2).
I'm unfortunately not very familiar with all the expressions, but if I've understood correctly, dörrfoder is like a trim around the door? And that's what I want to avoid if possible. I would prefer to fill the gap and spackle over it before painting so that it creates the illusion that the wall goes all the way to the door itself.
Thank you so much for your other tip. Sounds like a good idea!
That will never be good without foder... not nice either in my world when you have a door frame.
If it is to be nice and proper, you need to tear away the door frame and either drywall and use corner protectors that you fill and paint together with the wall or smygar that you extend 5mm and fill nicely against.
I have to say that I am really for odd and good solutions, but not using trim around windows and doors might never really turn out well. Unless you do as the above person did
There is already a solution which this manufacturer calls I-karm. Stylish and sleek.

anyone tried this solution? I think I got a price quote for the frame+door+some addition including VAT just under 10k SEK. Feels a bit overkill for an interior door.
Purchase corner guards in plastic and cut away one side, but save about 5mm (so the corner guards become L-shaped). Insert the short side into the gap between the door frame and the wall and the other side, with tape, onto the wall. Apply filler generously and press filler through the holes in the corner guard to provide support behind where there is a gap and possible air. Then apply the filler broadly out towards the wall so that the corner guard is no longer visible. There is now a small gap of a few millimeters between the corner guard and the frame, apply latex sealant here. It works great and achieves exactly what you are looking for. No door casing but you keep the frame and door.

Hey! Do you have any tips on what type of corner protector to buy? You wouldn't happen to have any photos from the process, would you?
