Default door casing

Hello,

I'm planning on replacing and retrimming various doors here.

Currently the trim is a basic 1 1/4 plain casing. I'd like to go with
something a bit more decorative, and a bit wider as well.

The problem is that a couple of the doors are pegged dead up against walls
with no room for wider casing. I'd really rather not have two doors drive
the casing choice for the entire house. I'd really really rather not (and
won't, at least not at this point) move the door openings.

Has anyone dealt with this before? I don't believe you can just rip the
casing down to width as that will force an odd miter angle which will stick
out terribly. Just try and use a narrower trim that roughly matches the
profile of the wider one?

thank you for comments
