I had a few Huntonit symfoni panels from before and decided to install them in the summer cottage. The problem is that I misjudged the size and consumption of the panels. I measured the size of one panel and "forgot" that the ceiling is pressed into the previous panel. Now I have a 45 mm gap to the wall.
I was considering a 43 mm shadow molding, but the question is whether it covers it completely? Is there a wider alternative? shadow molding, quarter-round molding, or other molding? It feels frustrating to go and buy another package when I only need 2 panels and only have to use 45 mm of them.
My first and biggest mistake in my building career.

A thin 75 (45) painted board around like a frame might not be wrong, ceiling moldings probably won't attack
I had a piece of baseboard that I tested, which was 56 mm. It fit well and is in the same color 0502-y as the ceiling.
But wouldn't you be classified as an idiot for having such a trim on the ceiling? Which also lies down.

Why not with a base, stretch it and see how it looks, several in the house may have opinions. A hålkärl in those thicknesses can look a little heavy, but it's your choice.
Here you can see some variants and how much they cover. http://www.listspecialisten.se/taklister.htm
If it's a summer cottage, perhaps a standard exterior panel board 16x70 as a frame around the ceiling would look good. It's also available as 22x45 if the room is small.
Edit/ I see when I read the thread a bit more carefully that @Liteavvarje has basically already suggested this.

Okay, I understand. But is there any difference between what you have suggested and skirting boards 12x56?
Do you think I should miter them in the inner corners, or should I do it like with flooring in inner corners, joining them edge to edge?

Baseboards are rounded and might look a bit odd on the ceiling, while a board becomes more pronounced like a frame. If you want, you can sand and glaze it with a light pigment shade. Since it is wood, it will darken over the years and contrast against the huntonite quite a bit. This can be avoided with pigment to about 50%.
