I will complete three rooms with moldings, and throughout the house, there are already architraves and baseboards in an antique style, which I want to continue with as I feel it adds some character. The architrave and baseboard will be the molding you see in the picture below.
The question is then, which ceiling molding would you choose, cove or cornice? Shadow molding is not an option since it does not cover enough of the gaps that exist between the ceiling and the wall.

If by allmoge you mean a "svamhals" cornice, I would choose that one. Regular Hålkäl feels a bit too simple. https://www.beijerbygg.se/privat/sv/taklist-furu-15x69mm-allmoge-vit-3-0m-svanhals-866301506930
I think the moldings of that model look like a sports cabin, I don't think it ever looked like that historically. Now it could be a modern house that aims for that style... But if you want it to look like it did 100 years ago, you can find better moldings here, for example, check the stock list...

Yes exactly, called allmoge at Byggmax. I also thought that concave feels a bit simple and fits better with otherwise smooth moldings.Mazen said:
Well, it's a matter of taste. They've been there since the house was built in 1970, so it's not "antique" in that sense. I think they give a bit more life to the molding and trim. However, if they are unpainted, it makes you think of a mountain cabin; that I agree with.J JohanLun said:
Doesn't seem to be available at the local hardware store (Byggmax), at least not in-store, and I want to buy them tomorrow. Available at Flügger but at a completely different price then. I think I'll go with wood, starting to get the hang of mitering after renovating an apartment, but it took a few rooms before becoming decent at it.P Pappa1986 said:
Regarding the mitering, it's simple. The table of the saw is the ceiling, then 45 degrees on the blade.J jimbomas said:Doesn't seem to be available at the local building store (Byggmax), at least not in-store, and I want to buy them tomorrow.

A tip is to make pieces with the correct miter. Then you take them with you, room by room. I got that tip 10 years ago and I threw away my pieces now that the last room was finishedJ jimbomas said:Haha yes, in theory it's simple but coping with coving has given me brain freeze more than once.
Everything is relative, but difficult with coping, noJ jimbomas said:Haha yes, in theory it's simple but coping trim has given me brain freeze more than once.
Try coping this in a room without 90-degree corners
Yes, that's what I do too. But there are always a few extra trips to the saw before they are completely right.P Pappa1986 said:A tip is to make scraps with the right mitre. Then you bring them with you, room to room.

We have it in our 100-year-old house in some places and then it feels too modern. But I agree that it's more interesting than a completely smooth molding. Even in newer houses, the older models can fit, worth trying for those who haven't. It's a shame the building stores don't have them anymore, I think even the one you call allmoge is on its way out...J jimbomas said:
