Inspiration - Built-in cupboard in old style

Upstairs in the store there is now plenty of room for wallpaper books to get inspired, plan and match with color samples. There is now a large table with storage facilities. A wooden frame decorated with wooden moldings and then painted with a light linseed oil color. It does not need to be complicated to rebuild a sideboard, cupboards or bookcase in a more time-typical style with the help of different types of wood moldings.

The frame can be based on an already existing piece of furniture or be built from scratch in the desired format and in the chosen material. For this table we have then chosen a countertop in oak, or rather two pieces that have been glued together. Along the floor, the same floor moldings continue as in the rest of the room, a wooden floor trim called "Master 145 mm." To get the frames on the hatches, we have used the trim called "List - French door panel list 23 mm." The entire product table is then painted in linseed oil paint, first with a layer of basic color and then two thin layers in a light color that we call Almond (color code NCS S 1510-Y20R). Lastly, the smaller model of "Knob - round" was then fixed in untreated brass to the cabinet doors.
