As the first blooms and buds of spring appear, now is a great time to bring some sunshine and energy of the new season into your home. If you’re ready to add some spring touches, why not opt for colours and crafts inspired by Easter?
From floral centrepieces to DIY projects for the kids, we’ve compiled our favourite ways to incorporate some Easter details into your home.
Create an Easter tree

We love the idea of an Easter tree to hang decorations on and it’s so easy to create. Look for discarded branches and simply place them in your favourite vase for an understated yet stylish look. If you fancy adding more of a pastel feel to your tree, spray paint the branches or go for gold for a luxe Easter look. Heavy decorations may be difficult to hang so look out for delicate honeycomb styles that are available in a range of colours that can be tied in with your Easter style.
Be playful with pastels
Easter is the perfect time of year to style pastel colours in your home. While yellow remains a staple of the Easter season, other colours such as blush pink, sage green or baby blue are great for welcoming warmer weather and matching to natural furniture and neutral accessories. For a flexible approach to colour that can be swapped out according to season, choose soft furnishings like cushions and rugs.
Stay relaxed and natural
If you like the idea of seasonal decor but want to keep your changes subtle, a relaxed and natural approach is the way to go. Pair Easter-inspired accessories with woven details such as baskets and placemats, alongside flowers and buds from your garden for a rustic and effortless look. This laid-back approach to Easter decor is versatile and can work for all year round, as well as being easy to match to neutral and colourful homes alike.
Make your room, bloom

Nothing says spring quite like bringing the blossoming outdoors in with fresh blooms. Add a subtle floral touch to your home with a beautiful centrepiece or opt for a seasonal wreath for your walls or front door. Alternatively, go full flower power and incorporate Easter-inspired florals into accessories like bedding and tablecloths.
Decorate with eggs

The egg is one of the most prominent symbols of Easter, and can make a great addition to your seasonal decorations. We all love chocolate eggs at Easter, so why not weave them into your decor? Scatter them across cake stands and tablescapes to create a sweet, mouth watering scene. Try hanging decorated eggs from a sturdy potted plant or branch to recreate a classic Easter look at home.
Embrace the Easter bunny
Another iconic feature of Easter is, of course, the Easter bunny. Incorporate bunny details into your decor with small ornaments, DIY creations, or other rabbit-shaped accessories. You could also try working the rabbit into your place settings by carefully wrapping dinner napkins around a decorated egg, or choosing a tablecloth or crockery with a rabbit motif.
Switch up your shelfie

Shelves offer so much seasonal styling potential and are easy to edit according to the time of year. Choose some sweet bunting, add some pastel blooms and group together your Easter accessories to create a curated look that will add cheer throughout April.
Get crafty with DIY decorations

Embrace your creativity this Easter with some homemade, handmade decorations. Create fun focal areas filled with all things Easter like mini plant pots, foliage & figures for the cutest centrepiece. Alternatively, try your hand at making bunting to hang around your home; use a stencil to create an Easter bunny print or go letter by letter to spell out ‘Happy Easter’. Paper chains are also a great DIY decoration that take little effort to put together but look great when hung in the right spots.
