how are you doing the corners? rounded? 22.5 cuts? 45 cuts ?( pls don't do 45 degree cuts)
EDIT: having thought about it, I'll bet you are doing 45 degree cuts or your most likely would not be asking. no offense if your are going with 45 degree cuts at the corners. IMO I don't think they look very good done that way.
if you were to use premade corner pieces that match your trim. that is the way to go with bullnose corners in a house. option B second choice is to cut your self 22.5 pieces to make up the corner. make them first then measure up to them when you do your runs. you will still have a little bit to fill in. some guys use fillets here, a high quality filler also works.
