Renovating a wooden house from '81. The old owners were very fond of pine and rustic styles. I've cleared out and covered where I could. For example, installed a new ceiling which turned out really well. However, the old ceiling moldings cannot be reused (large rustic pieces that no longer fit in).
New moldings are therefore necessary. Because the builders at the time were so unwise as to wallpaper after the ceiling moldings were installed, there is a 5.5 cm gap between the wallpaper (now painted over) and the ceiling. Even if I paint the gap in the same color as the rest of the wall, it's clear that it is a different material and there's a seam where the wallpaper ends.
I've been searching for a simple and discreet ceiling molding but the minimum size is 21*53. However, I haven't found anything. I don't want something with a lot of frills, just something stylish and simple. Possibly a shadow molding, but I haven't been able to find any shadow moldings with the appropriate dimensions.
I would be very grateful for help with this issue.

You want a thickness of at least 21mm. Then you can't use small baseboards or corner moldings. But one way could be to install a shadow molding upward and downward - then there are simple standard and period-appropriate moldings at reasonable prices.
In really old houses, the crown molding could consist of a board lying against the wall with a chamfer (beveled edge) on the lower edge.
You could therefore make a molding yourself from a planed board, 22x95, where you plane off the lower edge that faces the room, not a 45-degree angle but a slightly shallower angle, see my simplified illustration
