The festive season of last year is now just a memory; this year is moving on, and Easter is fast approaching. Now is the time to get cracking with some cheerful Easter décor around the home. See how to make the most of your efforts with our quick and clever Easter decorating tips.
If you’re a believer of bunny trail magic and eggs that come in all colours of the rainbow, then it is time to embrace Cottontail creativity with some fun and whimsical Easter decorating around the home. And these Easter decorating tips we have put together not only help to inspire; they deliver lashings of colour and character as well.
Small space or large? It doesn’t matter what size area you have to work with. The secret to rolling out (egg-shaped of course) Easter decorating is location, location.
So, to avoid getting any bunnies into a bother; our Easter decorating tips break down a few key areas that provide high impact with really not that much effort at all. Fuss-free and fancy, the way our Easter decorating tips roll!
Easter Decorating Tips – Immediate Impact
For immediate impact, there is no better place to start decorating for Easter then at your front door. Easter wreaths are ideal for this purpose. Simply hang a wreath on your door as a brilliant Easter welcome for guests and add instant charm to your home.
* Tip: a wreath will generally set the tone for the remainder of your décor. So, for full impact, coincide your Easter wreath design with other Easter décor used inside the home. You could choose a wreath of florals; a wreath made completely from faux Easter eggs; a wreath of ribbons; or a mixture of all.
As an alternative, or an add-on to a wreath, display an Easter welcome plaque or sign instead. Add a personalised message like “every bunny welcome at the <your family name here> residence” for greater impact.
For inspiration, take a look at our range of Easter plaques & signs and Easter wreaths.
Easter Decorating Tips – Set the Scene
Follow through your impressive welcome at the front door with some scene-setting décor on entry. Set a space aside near your entry door to display some Easter décor that will greet guests as they walk inside.
Here are some great ideas that can be placed atop a hall stand, on a flat-top bar stool draped in a cloth, on a side table, or on another feature in your entry or foyer area:
- add Easter florals into a vase with seed lights twisted amongst the stems and petals or twisted onto coloured/glitter-coated twigs
- drape a gorgeous garland of paper flowers and fairy lights, or a garland of coloured Easter eggs, along the edge of a shelf. Add an Easter bunny shelf sitter or ornament to finish the job nicely
Easter Decorating Tips – Add Instant Character
Easter time is full of characters and you can’t complete any Easter decorating tips without considering some of these fun friendlies to warm the home.
For impact, group a few characters together around your home – locations such as a mantle, on a buffet hutch, on an open shelf, or on a side table are perfect. Create more air of importance by setting them together on a tray or base plate. Mirrored tiles are a great option too as the play on reflective light adds more interest and sparkle in the night light. Candles and light-up ornaments look especially great on top of mirrored tiles also.
As an alternative, drop some colourful Easter eggs into an Easter-themed bowl for whimsical appeal and eye candy that you can actually eat (winning!). Our gorgeous white ceramic rabbit on Easter plate is a perfect option for this Easter decorating idea.
Introduce some greenery to your Easter décor with a specially curated Easter flowerpot. Live plants are always a lovely addition for inside the home, and our adorable flower pot with two bunnies is a great way to get the best of both worlds. Make it whimsical while embracing Easter by adding a colourful collection of plastic Easter eggs or some fresh greenery (or fresh herbs) indoors.
If you have some wall space spare, try hanging an Easter plaque amongst some bunny wall hangings, like our wood house decorations or Easter bunnies on a carrot swing.
* Tip: for a massive range of Easter characters, which include the Easter bunny and all his friends, please see our catalogue of Easter ornaments and decor.
Easter Decorating Tips – Serving It Up
The dining table is the perfect location for impactful, special occasion décor and there are so many great options for Easter decorating ideas right here. Below are just a few for inspiration.
Take a laid-back approach by adding a table runner with a few special Easter ornaments along the middle. Then just scatter some Easter treats and eggs throughout your table settings.
Or, for ultimate impact, create some layers. Use a mixture of large and small Easter ornaments. Add an Easter floral centrepiece to the middle of the table, then stack your Easter dining plates at each setting as well (use a charger plate at the bottom of the stack).
For an Easter decorating tip that is sure to impress anyone, consider creating a chocolate bar (or hot chocolate bar) for guests to enjoy too. Check out this great tutorial, how to make a hot chocolate bar, from our friends at The Christmas Cart.
Whether you decide on bouncing bunnies, cheeky chickens, beautiful ballerinas, or a perfect mixture of all in your Easter décor, make it count by capitalising on those high impact spaces around your home.
