Hej everyone – happy weekend!

I’ve seen some traditional Swedish apartments have this panelling on the wall. In English it’s called either panelling or moulding, but I can’t find the equivalent word for it in Swedish – could someone kindly clarify what it’s called please?

Who would tend to install this, would it be a woodworker or a painter? Are there any good websites to search to find people for things like this?

Sorry if this is a basic question – I’m just struggling to find the answers!

Thank you 🙂

    Spegelpanel it means mirror paneling. If you mean paneling in general it’s väggpanel (wall paneling)

  2. As many have pointed out this type of panelling is called spegelpanel, and I’d say woodworker rather than painter.

    And pref getting it designed for your room by someone who has a good understanding of suitable ratios and why. So an interior decorator with background in art and good knowledge of historical building design.

    Shouldn’t be as hard to fins as it may sound. Easier to find people to design it in Sthlm and Gbg of course, but the type of apartments where it fits is easier to find at prices that aren’t absolutely astronomical is Malmö.

    Don’t try to make it and put it up yourself as a DIY project if you want to keep your sanity, do if you’re not too particular about that, and don’t get it if you don’t have *really* tall ceiling height. But if you do have that, hey, why not. It’s pretty cool.

  3. *Spegelpanel*. You can rather easily do it yourself with *dekorlist*.

    Plenty of tutorials on YouTube.
