Do you think there’s a more efficient way to trim the door and window when they’re so close together?
If the usual flat stock, take out the 2 pieces that are next to each other and create a single piece.
Is a genius!
Suggested using flat stock at the top of the window and door instead of mitered corners, and then adding another piece of flat stock across the top of both sides.
If they choose to follow ‘s approach, it would result in a more polished appearance.
Opt for narrower trim to allow for a gap if possible.
Painting with a gap in between can be quite a challenge.
A single, large piece in the center.
A single piece made to order
There is one large piece located in between them

Got it!
I was thinking the same thing!
Just one piece
You could find casings that are approximately a quarter inch smaller
Why not grab some paintable caulk, run a line along it, then paint over it to blend it in as one seamless piece?
