Moving into our new house soon. Turnkey contract.
But I have some thoughts on where our decorative moulding meets the jamb. The "issue" only arises at the exterior/terrace doors because windows and terrace doors don't have any decorative moulding. However, interior doors do have decorative moulding with plinth blocks.
We actually wanted decorative moulding around windows/terrace doors too, but at the time, the builder didn't have it in their options list (they have now upgraded to it 🤷♀️) oh well. We only have jambs around windows and terrace doors. How can you best match the decorative moulding? The way they've done it is not acceptable in my eyes.
- Miter the moulding at 45 degrees so it folds down along the jamb? The jamb sticks out a bit more than the moulding.
- Bevel the moulding so the part that sticks out beyond the jamb connects "more smoothly."
- A short plinth block as an end? Before the jamb edge? Might look really odd.
What would you have done or how have you resolved it if you encountered the same situation?
The first image is how it looks now, followed by two alternative solutions.

Taste is like a bottom😉 divided..
Sand down that you have in one of the pictures looks proportional..
Blocks and your mitre variant will draw everyone's eyes and that's probably not what you want..

Good input regarding what draws attention! Then I know I want to go with the chamfering solution! 👍J Jansson69 said:
