Door Opening Help

9 hours ago

I am looking for suggestions on what to do to make this case opening feel more complete/finished. The doorway links my foyer to my dining room. The opening right now is 60 inches wide. Two options I have considered are:

  1. Build out the left wall to mirror the right side and add molding all around the whole door opening. It would narrow the opening to be about 53 inches wide. I wonder if it would feel too busy with the other doors/molding adjacent?
  2. My contractor thinks he could move the right vertical portion of the case opening to be flush with the adjacent wall with the double doors and widen the opening. It then would look similar to how the left side looks now. If I go this route though, the top part of the case opening still feels unfinished. It would be odd to just add molding across the top, so then how do you make it more complete/finished feeling?

I am open to other suggestions as well but these are the two I have come up with. Thanks!
