Tutorial: How to Add Architraves and Window Casing in your Home!

I replaced all architraves and window casing in our downstairs with a Craftsman style detailing. It was a bit “extra” to do this project but it was well worth it. The swap out makes our home feel unique, but grounded with traditional character. The style we installed is not found off the shelf here in the UK so I sourced supplies and materials at Wickes and designed these myself. I then assembled and installed each architrave and window casing.

Here is how I replaced and added architraves and window casing to our new build. This tutorial contains all details- a clickable shopping list, exact dimensions, how I installed, and more! This tutorial is useful for replicating the exact detailing we installed, or if you're looking for instructions on how to install any style of architrave or window casing.
