• Not sure where to post, but this seems like a hotbed of good ideas so....

    This wall used to have wood panelling which we've removed and will be re-plastered. After plastering the French door frame surround will no long meet the wall surface - currently estimating a few mm.

    We like the cleaner look of no arcatrave(sp?). But I'm a bit stumped as to what to do.

    My only thought was a browse of b&q for some sort of L-Shaped edging. However, then the question is how would you deal with the corners/joins between the two vertical sides and horizontal top?

    Any smart and stylish ideas appreciated.

  • Are you planning on keeping the doors?

    FWIW I have an internal door with no architrave and the vibrations from closing it cause cracks, only small ones, but it does need touching up every now and again. I finished it myself with skim of filler to blend out any height differences, also did that with new loft underage storage.

  • I reckon if you took off the existing plastic trim you could get the plasterer to overboard the door lining perhaps? then could use a stop bead where the plaster meets the PVC door frame.

    i can't tell if that makes sense the way i've said..!

  • Is the door reveal painted timber board we can see the end edge of ?

    What’s the skirting doing at the bottom ? My instinct is you need to add an architrave of some kind or plant a stop bead on the existing lining and then add a new lining inside that to get a minimal look.
