The upper floor of the Sovelius House, built in the 1780s, has been restored to its 1890s appearance. This era was chosen because the house underwent major changes at that time: the ceiling was raised, the doors leading to the hall were replaced with high double doors, and the windows of the whole house were made larger. In the hall and kitchen, the original room height has been maintained. Based on the scraps of wallpaper found on the walls dating back to the 1890s, the conservator of the Raahe Museum produced models of the wallpaper, i.e. silk screens, with which the patterns were pressed manually onto kraft paper. Each room has exactly the kind of wallpaper it had in the 1890s. The materials and colours of the floors and ceilings are also identical to those of the 1890s. Most of the carpets and curtains were made according to the old designs. The small embroidered carpets under the tables are from the museum’s collections.
