Easter Decorating Ideas for Your Home

Decorating isn’t just for Christmas, you know – it’s also the perfect way to celebrate the Easter season. But as a relatively new tradition, you might not be sure how to go about getting your space all set for the long weekend. That’s why we’ve put together these eggcellent Easter decorating ideas that make it easy to create the perfect backdrop, whether you’re sitting down for meals with the family or enjoying an Easter egg hunt with the kids. If spring is more your thing, you’ll also discover a whole host of decorations that help you wave goodbye to the gloomy winter months and welcome the arrival of a sunnier new season.

And because Easter also marks the beginning of springtime, you can combine spring and Easter decorations to give your display a mood-enhancing mix-up you’ll never grow tired of!

Easter Table Decorating Ideas

Let’s be honest, one part of the Easter weekend we all look forward to is those slap-up meals on Easter Sunday and Monday! Since the whole family will be gathered together around the table for a large part of the weekend, it makes sense to do something extra special and create a show-stopping table centrepiece that’s sure to set it apart from the usual Sunday dinners.

A really quick and easy way to transform your table is by running a garland along the centre of it. Our garland collection includes both spring and Easter versions, and with a range of lengths available up to 2 metres, any one of them will look great winding its way across your table setting. You can even make extra use of it between meals by draping it across your mantlepiece or any other area of your Easter display.

For the ultimate eye-catching centrepiece, why not finish things off with this table centre from The Very Collection, which features a rustic wooden base that’s detailed with softly hued florals and eggs, then finished with a hoop that arches smoothly over the top of the colourful display. This Easter Foliage Table Centre makes things a little more rustic with a rattan pot containing a mix of spring-coloured florals, foliage, all dotted with eggs.

Living Room Easter Décor

You can easily add some magic to sofas, sideboards and your mantlepiece with some carefully chosen Easter and springtime ornaments and decorations. One of the best bits about putting up the Christmas decorations is when you sit down with the kids to dress the tree, and now you can enjoy that same experience at the start of spring with this Easter tree that comes complete with a selection of multi-coloured egg decorations - cracking!

Why not enhance the seasonal style of a sofa or armchair while also giving them some extra comfort with our tufted bunny cushion that’s designed with a textured rabbit (complete with tail applique) on one side. You can then complete the look with the matching throw - perfect when you’re curling up in front of a movie with a cuppa and some Easter chocolates on those chilly early spring evenings.

Some of the Easter decoration multipacks we’re loving this year include Scottish Everlasting’s set of 2 Easter trees which are perfect for sitting at either end of a mantelpiece, as well as this Heaven Sends trio of wooden bunny rabbits that will look great snuggled together as a fun family unit or dotted around in different areas of the room. And because not every egg is for eating, this double pack of foliage filled Easter egg decorations have hatched a stunning display of flowers and colourful mini eggs.

To help your scene stay seen even when the sun goes down, you can grab some of the light-up Easter decorations from our own The Very Collection. These include two ceramic lit Easter eggs, and a set of light-up Easter rabbits – just right for adding a splash of seasonal illumination to a side table or shelf.

Outdoor Easter Decorating Ideas

Like any big celebration, Easter involves lots of visitors coming to your home, so what better way to offer a warm welcome to all those guests than by placing this light-up bunny rabbit decoration outside your front door. Made from rustic rattan, it’s dotted with LEDs that bathe it in a warming glow in the evenings.

Speaking of the front door, Easter and springtime wreaths are an easy way to accent the outside of your home with some seasonal cheer. You’ll find loads of different options in our wreath collection here at Very, but some of our faves include this Easter egg wreath that’s adorned with florals, foliage and coloured eggs,  as well as this hilarious rabbit wreath which is designed to look like a bunny has hopped head-first into your door, so only its backside is visible!

For a more traditional bunny design, The Very Collection’s 22 inch rabbit wreath has a rustic cottage style with rattan and springtime florals surrounding a bristle bunny.

Easter Decorating Ideas for Families

If you’re looking for Easter decorating ideas the whole family will love, it’s always worthwhile grabbing a few character decs to put some personality into your display. A hugely popular festive decoration in recent years, gonks have now entered the Easter season as well. This boy and girl gonk set gives you two of the charming critters, with each one holding an Easter egg and wearing a set of bunny ears. We also love this pair of tall gonks that feature extending legs to let you place them at different heights!

For a more traditional pop of personality, we’ve picked out these bristle rabbits – measuring 26 cm tall, they each wear check shirts and celebrate the coming of spring with floral and carrot accessories. Of course, just because we’re entering spring, that doesn’t mean we’re guaranteed clear skies over the Easter weekend. Luckily, this 70 cm standing bunny decoration is embracing the chance of some puddle hopping by wearing a bright yellow boots and raincoat combo!

And because everyone in the family loves a sweet treat at Easter time, you can turn all those bite-sized chocolate eggs into decorations in their own right by displaying them on this Easter Egg Nibble Tray from The Very Collection – so much more fun than keeping them hidden away in a cupboard.

If you’re looking for a decoration that will help you and the kids spend some quality time together, LEGO’s Easter Bunny and Chick Egg Hunt Animal Toy is another of their brick-built scenes that not only give you all hours of enjoyment putting together, but also serves as a timeless decoration you can bring out year after year!
