Located in Copenhagen, in an old brick townhouse dating back to 1891, the renowned Danish journalist couple, Esben Bjerre and Sisse Sejr-Nørgaard sought to create a colourful home that reflects their eccentric personalities and free-spirited approach to interior design.
Nestled in "Humlebyen" within Copenhagen's Vesterbro neighbourhood, a townhouse crafted by the architect Frederik Bøttger in 1891, is inhabited by Esben Bjerre and Sisse Sejr-Nørgaard, a renowned Danish journalist couple. For them, infusing this vintage townhouse with lively shades was a fundamental part of the renovation process. Not a single door, window, wall, or ceiling in their four-story home has been left untouched—nor painted white.
The heart of their home, the kitchen and living area, features an Odd Orange ceiling, Daily Beige walls, and Surf Soul accents that make doors, windowsills, and trims come to life.
As you make your way up the blue stairwell, you're greeted by a warm and inviting sitting room. The ceiling is painted in High on Life, complementing the Coco Pink walls and Garden Note windowsills.
The choice of colours in the living room is all about our favourite colours and how they interact. It’s a bit like inviting a diverse group of friends to live on your walls, and they all become best friends.
Next door to the living room is a bathroom that pays homage to the 1950s and 1960s with its terrazzo-covered floors and Art Deco-inspired showerdoor, while creating a spa-like atmosphere in green and blue tones.
On the top floor, the master bedroom greets you with a burst of warm colours. Vibrant orange ceilings, soft Coco Pink walls, and the distinctive Mingle More from the Trend Notes® collection on the windowsills create a colourful harmony.
After a tour of their entire home, you’re left with a feeling of warmth and comfort, like a loving hug from a dear friend. It’s evident that every detail has been meticulously considered, and every colour choice carries a profound intention. In this home, colour isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it’s a language that speaks to the soul. Esben and Sisse invite you to explore their world and find inspiration in the celebration of embracing colour and creating a space that is unequivocally your own.
