Easy Easter Decorating Ideas and Home Tour

Not everyone decorates for Easter. But there is something so cheerful and mood-lifting for me personally about having the symbols of spring sprinkled around with a few happy rabbits and colorful eggs.

Maybe it’s the cuteness factor of the bunnies and the freshness of the spring colors.

Maybe it’s the warm and fuzzy childhood memories of Easter baskets filled with Paas-dyed eggs and Cadbury creme deliciousness.

And maybe it’s even my adult memories of taking our family photo in front of the blooming azaleas in our Easter finest, and then spending a beautiful spring day outside after church with a backyard egg hunt.

I couldn’t wait for the Easter “season” to freshen up my home for spring and say goodbye to winter. My early spring decor was all about flowers. Many of these are still in place but as we ease toward Easter Sunday and away from winter, the bunnies and eggs have made their annual appearance around the house to continue spreading the spring spirit.

Let me take you on a second spring tour of our home, but this time around it’s the Easter edition!

Easter Decorating Ideas For the Kitchen.

In the kitchen, I used flowering branches as a focal point on the kitchen island for early spring, and simply added the Easter feel by hanging speckled eggs in muted pastel colors from a few of the branches.

These are regular decorative eggs, but I made hangers by attaching strings of jute twine with little dabs of hot glue.

The branches are faux but look more realistic with the water in the vase and a touch of matte gray craft paint on the shiny black plastic stems. They definitely wouldn’t look the same after a month if they were real!

I paired this vase of spring blooms on a breadboard with a stack of sweet Easter bunny plates from Pier One (I wish I had bought one more before they closed their stores.)

My grumpy bunny showed up this Easter under the glass cloche on the counter. His expression doesn’t really show in this photo but he always looks annoyed which makes me laugh. This year that face may be because he’s trapped in a glass cage?😂

On the breakfast table, I built a spring garden-themed Easter tablescape around the early spring centerpiece already in place, adding more garden pots, and grapevine wreath “chargers”. And it was the perfect place for my mother-in-law’s vintage rabbits.

I topped each table setting with vintage French inspired bunny garden pots that double as place cards and as an Easter gift. Hard to believe they started out as plain old orange terra cotta pots!

See the post “How to Create Vintage Spring Flower Pots with Transfers” for the easy steps to make these.

I had two extra clay pots from the set, so I made another very easy craft to add to the centerpiece—these decoupage garden pots:

I used purple flowers from paper napkins to add to the spring centerpiece and to match the purple flowers already there. It’s so simple to use the pretty printed tissue paper layer to create a handpainted look!

See the post “How to Decoupage Flower Pots with Napkins: Fun DIY for Pretty Planters” for this easy DIY.

Easter Decorating Ideas For the Family Room.

I also left the flowering branches in place here on the simple spring mantle, and hung green and cream speckled Easter eggs from these stems too. They were the perfect way to stay with the neutral spring color scheme of tan, gray, cream, and moss green I used this season for the family room.

On the coffee table, this plump bunny perches on an egg wreath on top of a large white footed bowl. I left the Veranda home and garden coffee table books for their soft green covers.

And on the hutch, another bunny under glass is one of my favorite Easter decorations. It’s dear to my heart because it decorated my youngest child’s first birthday cake.

Easter Decorating Ideas For the Living Room.

The living room was already full of spring faux flowers for early spring but I added a couple of Easter touches to the coffee table. I filled a lattice bowl with wooden eggs decoupaged with pink and green spring flowers from a paper napkin using the same technique as the decoupaged garden pot.

And this room needed bunnies of course, so I replaced the French garden pot with the bottom of this pretty Fitz and Floyd rabbit cookie jar.

Easter Decorating Ideas For the Dining Room.

The dining room Easter tablescape is centered around my mother-in-law’s Old Country Rose china. She loved collecting dishes and these were some of her favorites. I feel so blessed that she gave them to me while she was still alive and I think about her so much when I bring them out in the springtime.

For Easter dinner inspiration for your dining table, see this elegant Easter tablescape idea in the post “English Garden Easter Tablescape“.

The plaid fabric used as a table runner brings loads of spring color and just happened to match the china to perfection.

I included two more easy Easter crafts on the dining room table. This cute bunny napkin fold that’s shaped like a bunny’s ears:

And a bunch of old mismatched bunny figurines became Easter table decor after a quick makeover where they transformed into faux chocolate bunnies. Gathering them on a cake stand makes kind of a chocolate bunny buffet—just don’t try and eat them.

Over on the dining room wine bar, it looks like these bunnies may have taken a little nip:

The best Easter decorations should always make you smile!

I hope my spring additions of bunnies and eggs have inspired a few Easter ideas for your own home. Or at the least brightened your day with color and cuteness. 🐰
