Using a heat gun to make the trim take on the shape of the archway is recommended. Once the molding is installed, clamp the arched trim to the jamb, making sure the reveal is consistent along the jamb. Mark where the circle starts to turn in on both sides and line up. Cut multiple pieces of the desired width for the wall trim at an angle when all reach 180 degrees combined, about 6″-8″ each.

To install trim around arched windows and doorways, mount a $5-$10 wood board across the window where the arch starts, attach existing paper shades to it, and use $1 water-soluble poster. Updated molding can give a room and window a fresh look, making it an excellent DIY project.
