Bringing out window reveals

[SanMan]

A few years ago, we had new windows fitted and in places were left with slightly large gaps between the frames and reveals. We don’t want to use plastic trims or sealant.We also don’t want to simply plaster over the gaps because then it looks like there is a small section of wall next to the window before it does a right turn into the reveal. 

What is the best way to fix this without replastering the entire wall? Is there any way of attaching a new corner bead at the front of the reveal (by recessing it into the existing plaster or overlaying/feathering it in), fitting a piece of plasterboard into the reveal and then finishing it with plaster? Or are there other options? 

Thank you.

You’ve probably covered all the solutions in your don’t want list 

Except replace the frames with the correct size frames

Why are you against trims? Anything else and you will have problems plastering to the wall corner.

How old is the house? Victorian houses often had wooden dowels instead of angle beads. If you chop a little bit out of the corner and insert a dowel you can then re-skim the reveal up to the dowel. If you want 'chunky', broom-sticks are cheap!

A tidy bead of sealant would be my choice, the gap doesn't look too big

A UPVC corner bead would be my choice.

Smallest tilting fillet (PVC) will do the trick nice and tidy

thats the stuff you want.

superglue it to the window frame then a bit of silicone and caulk of you have some gaps. 

or if you dont like trim then a massive thick bead of caulk.

intrigued to know what the outside looks like if the frames are narrower than the plasterboard reveals.
