Did you know that by showing off some of Mother Nature’s beauty inside your home, you can also stimulate your mind and your senses? Floral Easter décor is the perfect opportunity capitalise on the full range of benefits from having delightful floral displays in your home.
Studies have shown that flowers promote calm, increase positivity, and can generally make people feel happier. So, when it comes to this time of the year, take advantage of the many benefits of having flowers in your home with some gorgeous-looking, mood-boosting floral Easter décor!
Coupled with colourful Easter eggs, gorgeous Easter ornaments, dainty Easter serveware or tasty Easter treats, there are many ways to create floral Easter décor that goes above and beyond a flower in a vase. Here are 3 of our favourite ways to create Easter floral décor for your home.
Firstly, to help put together your compilation of Easter floral décor, keep in mind the type of mood or theme you would like to create. When talking florals; colours that are less saturated typically give off a more relaxing vibe (think light pink, pale yellow, white, etc). Bolder and more saturated colours, such as bright purple, red and fuchsia generally bring more vibrance and energy to the room.
#1 Easter Floral Décor to Welcome Guests
There is nothing that says “welcome” to a home more than a lovely wreath or personalised plaque hanging on the front door. This Easter, why not coincide some Easter floral décor at your front door too.
If you are feeling crafty, you can create your own Easter wreath. If you prefer to purchase one that is ready-made, our gorgeous collection of Easter wreaths boasts plenty of floral Easter décor to enhance the Easter spirit from the moment your guests approach your door.
If you fall in love with a wreath design that isn’t necessarily laden with flowers, there’s not need to worry. You can simply add a few more ornamental florals to complete the desired look. Our Easter egg wreath is perfect canvas to start with and then add some precious petals scattered throughout, or arrange them into a small bunch and secured to one spot.

#2 Easter Floral Décor for the Table
Due to their typically central location, tables are the ideal place to display Easter floral décor and often provide the most space to really get creative. Here is some easy-to-achieve inspiration for Easter floral décor on the table.
Garland and Easter Ornaments
Place a garland of Easter florals on the table first – either stretching from one end of the table to the other, or bunch it up in the middle. Then place some Easter ornaments amongst the flowers. Our paper garland with fairy lights is a great option for this and looks fantastic at night!
Alternatively, use our pastel Easter egg and leaf garland, then scatter a selection of Easter floral décor pieces throughout it. For added sparkle with this option at night, add a string of battery-operated fairy lights or some tea light candles.
Easter Egg Floral Centrepiece
Following the above idea, eggs and florals look magic together at Easter time, especially when combined as a table centrepiece. One of our favourite ways to do this is by creating a vase of eggs with an arrangement of flowers in the top.
To do this, you will need two vases of similar or same shapes (cylinder vases are ideal); one wider than the other. Place the smaller vase into the larger vase. Fill the void created between the two vases with coloured eggs or candy. You can also use coloured stones or feathers. Then place your arrangement of Easter floral décor into the empty vase in the middle. If you are using artificial Easter florals, you might like to add some sand in the bottom of the vase to help keep the arrangement in place. If you wanted to add more height and depth, use some taller twigs or sprays amongst the flowers.

#3 Reinvented Easter Floral Décor
If you already embrace touches of nature inside your home, then you already have the perfect base for creating some very simple Easter floral décor.
Potted Herbs
Potted herbs are very easy to “Easterise” by simply tying some burlap or ribbon around the pot to make a bow. Then glue a lovely Easter floral to the middle of the bow. If size permits, you could also drop a few Easter eggs amongst the herbs or around the pots, as well as some cute Easter ornaments too.
Indoor Plants
Here’s some quick options for transforming your indoor plants into simple Easter floral décor, depending on the size of the indoor plant.
- use the method above – tie a decorative floral ribbon around the plant pot
- add some ornamental flowers amongst the plants and nestle in some cute Easter characters like our calico Easter chicks
For splashes of nature and even more touches of Easter floral décor around the home, why not reinvent some mason jars or old tins into Easter vases and pots to house a bunch of Easter florals and décor. This can be as simple as spraying jars with paint, adding some natural or coloured twine or glitter to the outside, then arranging some flowers into your newly invited vases. Use various sizes bunched together for more depth and interest. Place these around the home for an instant boost and plenty of Easter cheer with very limited expense.
