1. Easter trees

Easter trees are the trend that took us all by surprise a couple of years ago – a seasonal tree is not just for Christmas! Typically quite small and twiggy, the Easter tree is perfect to dangle hanging egg decorations or little bunny ornaments from. Keep your colour scheme pastel to be in keeping with the season and use them to dress your table or sideboard. Add fairy lights for an extra touch of sparkle.

The decorations don’t need to be limited to eggs either – bunnies, flowers and feathers all qualify as Easter decorations! Paper-cut decs are also a major trend at the moment, as are more pared-back, Scandi-chic wooden options.

2. Easter wreaths

Wreaths have also made the leap form Christmas to Easter. And why not? What better way to mark spring than by bringing the outdoors in? Whether you choose to create your own DIY wreath or buy a ready-made one, it’s the perfect Easter doorscaping accessory. The Easter egg wreath below is £27.99 from Lights4fun (also available with lights for £32.99). You can also find a similar version from B&M for £18. For floral Easter wreaths, try Dunelm or Dibor.

3. Easter tablescaping

A huge part of the Easter festivities is the food, whether it’s a typical Good Friday fish supper, the traditional Easter Sunday roast lamb, or just too many Easter eggs! But before the feast can commence, a spot of Easter tablescaping is sure to wow your guests. Place settings are a great place to start – think bunny napkins or napkin holders, pastel placemats and gorgeous gold cutlery. If you want to go all out, try a balloon table runner (perfect for kids’ parties) or decorate your table with elaborate floral garlands and centrepieces.

  • Easter balloons and bunnies table runner, £12.99 from Ginger Ray
  • Wooden bunny Easter napkin rings (set of six), £4.99 from Ginger Ray

4. Easter doorscaping

It’s all about the ‘scaping’ these days! Easter doorscaping is a great way to celebrate the change of season – if you don’t want to go all-out Easter, just keep it spring-like with pretty florals in pastel colours. Otherwise, it’s all about the eggs and bunnies! Interiors blogger Melanie Lissack is an absolute doorscaping pro. She created the look below using a range of faux flowers from Dunelm (mostly magnolia, delphinium, mimosa and cherry blossom), then she painted some polystyrene eggs in pastel shades from Dunelm’s Decorate & Co-ordinate (Pale Sky and Rose Water). ONce Easter is over, she simply removes the eggs, et voila, it’s a spring doorscape! Read more about how she created this installation on her blog post.

5. Easter napkins

Of course, you don’t need to spend a fortune to decorate for Easter, you can just get creative with napkins! YouTube has plenty of Easter bunny napkin tutorials, but the Good Homes team favours this one by blogsmia. All you need are some paper napkins in the colour of your choice and a small piece of thin ribbon. In 12 folds you’ll have a bunch of these cute bunny napkins to put a smile on your guests’ faces!
