You could design a newel that is compatible with your wainscoting, quarter the newel and wrap the corner and let the wainscoting die into the newel. A newel something like below:
Request for Suggestions: Wainscot & Turning a Corner
1 - 14 of 14 Posts
The images are of the area that vexes me--the Area of the Archway.
Maybe I'm too up in my head, but I simply cannot visualize out how to turn the corners with new wainscot and trim,even as I design in CAD. Nothing looks right, and frankly it all looks too busy to my eye.
I'd like to wainscot the area under the niche, but the niche isn't perfectly centered and the wainscot might draw attention to the asymmetry.
And I have no idea how to drop the casing to meet the bottom step. Plinth block here, perhaps?
S.O.S.

if you already have the flexTrim, that is pretty much the solution.
seeing what you have would help a lot.
in my experience, coming back after it is all done to trim out doors
is a Royal Pain as the baseboards, chair rails, and wainscotting
have to be removed and retrofitted.
in your CAD drawing, that is exactly what you show.
do you want to do all your arch doors this way ??
if this is your "Plan A" - what is your "Plan B" ?
if you look closely at your CAD drawing, some sacrifices
must be made to achieve the look you want.
again, seeing photos of the trim you intend to use will help.
and your realistic vision of the vertical trimwork.

FlexTrim complements the arch perfectly. I've stayed wainscot in the niche for now; but the area niggles my aesthetic sense somehow. Maybe the solution is paint.
Just a suggestion of one I built years back:
