ᐅ Looking for Recommendations on "Fascias" – Nostalgic Charm

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?

Does a surround also count as a reveal? I think you can be a bit bolder than 6cm (2.4 inches) in terms of width. I guess the "inventor" was aiming to visually enlarge the windows.

How wide are your reveals?
That cannot be answered in a general way or directly applied to your project. Please show your facades. I would also base it somewhat on color contrast, as well as corresponding dimensions like, for example, roof overhangs.
