Colourful spaces are those that get me most excited, they are the homes that make me excited about the prospect of living in, they are hotels I would most like to visit... you name it - colour is essential to what I enjoy about interiors. Be it the soft hues of a grey and mauve restaurant to the colourful pop of zesty orange brights in my kitchen at home. I'm always looking at the colour of what surrounds me and enjoy calm and serene schemes just as much as bold and bright accents. That's one of the reasons why I've always liked Habitat; they produce collection after collection of accessible, affordable and super stylish homewares in a truly inspiring way.

The picnic image here is from the SS10 catalogue and screams high summer - pimms o'clock, barbecues and of course, plenty of bright, warming colours. These next two images are my favourite, though. Don't you think there is something so romantic about sharing an impromptu tapas lunch with someone special on a tiny balcony just like this one?

So, make sure you check back here for the chance to win a Habitat product in my daily birthday giveaways. Plus, I'm going to be sharing some extra special spaces with you this week. There will be an Office Inspiration post from one of the world's most inspiring designers, a gorgeous Canadian home tour (look out for the stunning kitchen) and a round up of my blogging highlights over the past year. Interiors rock! Who's with me?
