Since we have decided, contrary to our original plans, to build without shutters for various reasons, we would like to add window and patio door trim to give the house a somewhat “old-fashioned,” or nostalgic, appearance. Has anyone here added trim to their house and can share practical tips on what to watch out for?
Has anyone in the forum painted their trim themselves? (This question is less important, as we will probably order the trim pre-made.)
Are there any general recommendations on how to give our house a nostalgic charm without causing costs to skyrocket?

I’m also interested in reveal details. Can these be created only with plaster in a single plastering process over the whole wall, or is it possible to add them later? Or is there thicker paint that can be used? No, creating raised details with paint alone is not feasible. As far as I know, our mason achieved this using plaster stop beads and reinforcing mesh. Another option to consider is making the reveals recessed. In that case, boards are installed around the windows during the facade plastering and then removed afterwards. Retrofitting is, of course, only possible with the first method.

Chamfers are usually not raised, but rather recessed compared to the regular plaster and also smoother. But every plasterer knows that... Exactly, that’s how they are in the example image I initially posted as well.

I am also interested in reveals. Is the projection done only with render and in one single application with the entire wall, or can it be added later, for example? Personally, even if the thickness is the same, I would prefer a different surface texture—so probably reveal and reveals in a later work phase. What is it going to be (@Pinkiponk): a colorful house with white trim around the windows? – I would find raised detail “old-fashioned” but beautiful, as a natural stone imitation, perhaps with a curved upper edge, for example.
