CATHRINE DE LICHTENBERG HAS ALWAYS LOVED COLOUR, but it wasn’t until she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after a secondment in Africa that she realised the effect colour can have on emotions. She used her discoveries to design the interiors of her 19th-century Copenhagen home in 2017. “I began to use colours as therapy and discovered how they can calm or reignite harmonious energies, provide a feeling of safety and affect the nervous system in a positive way when used decoratively within a room,” she says. Cathrine’s home has been designed to promote a particular mood or feeling in each room. “The kitchen was transformed into a bathroom, the dining room split into two bedrooms and the sitting room became a kitchen,” she says.

FRESH START

“I start my day with a tranquil atmosphere in the blue bathroom, where my body wakes up gradually and calmly,” Cathrine says. “I’ve chosen a more vivid colour scheme in the kitchen because it’s a room with a lot of ongoing activities, guests and dinner parties. I choose a colour based on the energy I would like it to transmit and the function of the room.”
