Skip door trim - get a stylish transition between wall and frame

Bexter · 2019-10-13T12:36:14+00:00

Hello! 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). Thanks in advance!

Hey! Do you have any tips on which type of corner protectors to buy? Do you happen to have a picture from the work?

I use the plastic ones with double-sided tape (e.g., Byggmax).
Cut them to L. Stick them on and possibly staple the ends. Then putty, paint caulk, and color
