How to Create an Easter Home Interior

Happy Easter Everyone! Yes it’s that time of year again when our houses become filled with chocolate goodies and cute and cuddly Easter animals that fill our hearts with bright and cheerful springtime fun. This family holiday is the perfect time to decorate your interior with fun accessories and items that will give the perfect backdrop for an Easter egg hunt or traditional dinner.

Table Settings

If you are planning a large family lunch or Easter party this April then why not create a fabulous and fun table setting that is bright and cheerful with plenty of items to occupy both adults and children alike. Opt for bright vibrant colours such as fuchsia and yellow and orange or more neutral pastel tones such as pale pink, baby blue and mint for a classic array of springtime tones. Choose shabby chic style crockery with spots, stripes and floral prints or choose more quirky chick and bunny print items for a more traditional Easter ambiance. Create an ‘Easter Tree’ centre piece by arranging some elongated twigs in a large vase and ask everyone to bring a homemade egg shaped decoration to hang from its branches.  Try your hand at crafting these fabulous bunny shapes from your napkins How To Fold A Bunny Napkin for a visual focal point on the table and fill bowls with hard boiled eggs and coloured pens for the little ones to create their very own designs.

Party Ideas

Throwing an Easter party? Why not create a table of themed nibbles and accessories that will keep guests of all ages in a fun and happy mood. Get your kids involved in making some fun Easter Nests using bran cereal coated in chocolate. Create a nest shape and leave then to set for a few hours and fill with mini eggs for a classic Easter treat.  Display them alongside some fluffy chicks for a fun and cute finish. Take some clear plastic icing bags and fill them with a selection of orange coloured cheese crisps or orange sweets and tie the ends with some green ribbon for cute carrot goodie bags that can be arranged in a large vase or rabbit shaped bowl. Place an arrangement of Easter themed baskets or buckets around the table and fill them with chocolate bunny shapes, chick sweets and treats and then use the empty baskets later in the day for a fun and frantic Easter egg hunt that all the family can enjoy.

Bunting

Bunting is the perfect way to create a springtime ambiance in the home and can be bought or crafted at home for a personalised colour scheme and style. Gorgeous shabby chic style ‘Happy Easter’ bunting in pastel colours and floral prints will look great hung around the edges of the room for a chic and feminine interior look. Classic egg, chick and rabbit shaped designs can be used in simple spring colour tones such as bright pink and lime green or monochrome for a more and sleek contemporary appearance.

Signs

Shabby chic signs are still on trend this season and are a great way of creating visual style on a feature wall or scattered around a table area. Select plain white signs featuring pastel coloured writing with ‘Easter Egg Hunt’ and ‘Follow the Bunny’ and place then around the home or garden for clues to where the children may find the hidden Easter goodies. For more 3D style signs select chick, rabbit and egg shaped plaques with decorative ribbons, paint effects and colours. Simple ‘Happy Easter’ signs can be hung from your front door to welcome your guests and visitors and can be co-ordinated to your interior colour scheme or displayed in bright, contrasting vivid tones that will give a light and uplifting ambiance to your home.

Flowers

Floral arrangements make great centrepieces on a dining table, side table or windowsill and an Easter themed bouquet will create an uplifting springtime feel within the home. For a cosy country chic style, select a pastel coloured vase or painted Mason jar in plain, or polka dot patterns and fill with pale pink, white and green blooms and foliage for a classic visual focal point. For a more fun and funky style then select a large, clear vase and fill with pastel painted eggs, coloured jellybeans or rabbit and chick shaped marshmallows that face outward from the centre of the vase. Place cut flowers in the centre such as gerberas, daisies, tulips, daffodils and grasses in pale spring colours or artificially dyed bright blue, lime green and yellow for a bold and vibrant Easter decor.
