I used your option one in my last house. 1/4 casing with a modern back band, 1/6 base.

How did you put your photo together with it?

I like a simple 1x4 door casing it does not scream any style but looks nice and clean.

Thank you Patricia. I’ve also looked at that!

Take a look at this catalog, I put trim packages from here all the time. If your local lumber yard deals with them, you can get samples. Garden State Moldings

Good luck

Wow ! What a fantastic website !
Thank you very much. This will be very helpful.

Your home's interior trim and doors should go together as a coherent whole. You might stumble on that picking individual mouldings or not. Here's a resource to help guide some of the classical styles:

You might also want to consult with your architect and/or interior designer before buying a whole bunch of trim that you'll have problems returning.

Thank you very much Charles ;)

@seabornman can you attached a sample photo

Here is a random photo of my old house with one panel door and the moulding I described

In this photo you can see the backband is unpainted, the 1/4 casing and 1/6 base are primed MDF

Pretty ! Thank you. How wide is the flat part and what exactly is the trim part?

And what base did you use ? 😉

The casing is a 1x4 mdf with the backband, the baseboard is 1x6 mdf. The trim is what I attached earlier but in pine (because it was to be painted) It is stocked at my local lumberyard.

What's good about this molding catalogs is that they provide Cad molding profiles and you can actually place the molding in a 3D environment and see how diffrent moldings will look.

As an example I just did this for someone who is deciding what to chose for the build up crown.

This is a diffrent molding combination

Doing it this way it helps the customer visualize the details and see how it will look when the molding installed.

As your trimmer if he can do that for you it will take a lot of guess work out, if not he can make a prop from the samples and show it onsite to see how everything will work.

Good luck.

Wow! Great information. Thank you very much @GN Builders LLC 👍🏻😉

Love the height of complete moldings.

Is that Cad program something you personally buy??

In a fraction of the time it will take to draw a moulding assembly you can make a full-scale mock-up. Just get 1 foot long sample pieces of each moulding and install them in whatever configuration you are considering. You'll get a better sense of the scale and proportion with real mouldings in a real space than you ever can on paper or on a computer screen.

I use it for business it's close to 3k, I'm sure you can find cheaper versions, etc. but the time you spent getting a hang of it, you can easily put a package together without it, just talk to a molding distributor most guys are knowledgable in this field or your finish carpenter I'm sure whoever is doing your trim put plenty of trim packages together.

If you want to leave me your email on my profile page, I will send you a molding package I did for someone a while back it's similar to what you looking for and if you like it you can take it to a local molding distributor or show to your finish carpenter and price out the package.

Good luck

So this shows my current in-progress of casing and base. Base is just an example. See Hallett's post for what you can buy for backband. I made my own.

Stumbled on this thread as I am looking at different molding options. My house is transitional and i was lookin to add a little detail to basic 1x4/1x6 setups.

Looking at the catalog linked above:

could i use MCAP1 base cap for base with MCBB1 back band for casings or would that look odd? Trying to find a nice combination that would allow for a nice squared off detail around all trim...
