I think we had the exact same issue - ended up using moulding like this: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Pine-Decorative-Cover-Moulding---12mm-x-32mm-x-2-4m/p/121298
worked really nicely - actually prefer the size to normal architrave i think. didn't look odd, but it was two doorways next to each other away from other doorways with 'normal' architrave.

I have a couple of door frames that need architrave applied. Unfortunately the frame itself is very close to the adjacent wall, so I can't use 'full sized' architrave vertically.
If you're still following, well done.
What's the best/neatest way of applying some sort of passable architrave? I have some moulding in the same profile as the architrave (which is obviously much thinner), but obviously this won't neatly align with the horizontal architrave (which does fit 'normally').
I could apply the moulding all the way around the door frame but this might look a bit odd compared to the rest of the house.
Otherwise I could... Cut down the full width architrave to fit, but I like the machinery to do this myself. Obviously if that's the best way, I can enlist professional help!
