Door Architrave Query

[Codekid]

Hi all, been gutting the dining room this past month and now I am down to fitting new door frames, architraves and skirting etc.

My door way goes into the kitchen and is on the left side of the wall with only half the door frame peeking out from the wall past the plasterboard, should I:

1. just put the architrave on the top and right side and leave the frame on the left as it wont fit a full piece?
2. put a piece of wood down the same thickness of the skirting that will go up to it?
3. or just leave the left side completely and just skirt up-to the frame at the bottom?

I am tempted with last option but unsure if it would look right.

Thanks for the help and can draw a diagram if needed.

Pic would help ?

Not to scale...

I would use some quadrant, cut to fit the profile of the upper architrave

It's not uncommon to see it that way. How funny it looks depends how much door frame is sticking out. Too much and you need to think about trimming down a piece of the architrave to fit (with the skirting running into the face of the architrave).

Anything up to an inch of frame showing and I think I'd take the top bit of architrave straight to the wall, and put nothing down the frame on that side.

More than an inch, and I'd be tempted to rip down some architrave to fit.
