How to Decorate for Easter

Decorating the Outside of Your Home

Hang an Easter wreath on your front door. An easy way to decorate for the Easter holiday is by hanging a festive wreath on the outside of your front door. You can buy an Easter wreath at a store like Wal-Mart or Target, or you can make a wreath. Try making a wreath featuring spring flowers, Easter eggs, chicks, or rabbits. You can also focus on pastel colors in the wreath.

Place bunnies on your porch or steps. Let the season’s star animal greet guests as they enter your home during the Easter season. Try putting a cast iron bunny near your front door. You can also place pastel-colored plastic bunnies on the stairs leading to your front door.

Make Easter bunny tracks with sidewalk chalk. You can have some fun with your Easter decorations by creating Easter bunny tracks leading to your front door. Take sidewalk chalk and draw pastel-colored rabbit tracks up your sidewalk, stopping when you reach the door.

Decorate a tree with Easter eggs. If you have a tree or bush near your house, you can easily turn it into a festive holiday decoration. Try hanging plastic Easter eggs from the tree’s branches. You can also wrap a shrub with a garland made of Easter eggs, which you can purchase online or at a local store that sells holiday décor.

Hang an Easter flag. A flag is a wonderful way to add some Easter flair to the outside of your home. You can purchase an Easter flag, like one that features a bunny or eggs. You can also purchase or make a flag that has a message like, “Happy Easter!”

Decorating Your Home’s Interior

Decorate the table with seasonal plants and flowers. A simple, yet elegant way to decorate your home for the Easter holiday is with flowers and plants. Try placing one or more vases of seasonal flowers on tables around your home. You can also create a centerpiece of your favorite seasonal plants and flowers for the dining table. Try decorating with fresh tulips, which are usually blooming around Easter. If your rose bushes are blooming around Easter, use them to decorate your table.

Use Easter eggs to decorate the inside of your home. Easter eggs can signify spring and new beginnings, and are perfect for holiday decoration. While you can dye eggs and place them in baskets or bowls around your home, they will spoil quickly if not refrigerated. Instead, use plastic or wooden eggs as decorations. Try placing a basket of Easter eggs on your kitchen counter or in your entryway.

Place duck or chicken figurines in your entryway. Animal figurines are a great way to add some Easter flair to your home’s interior. Try placing one on a table in the entryway of your home. You can also place a larger figurine near your door.

Hang Easter cards on your refrigerator. It’s fun to send and receive greeting cards during the Easter season. Instead of throwing them away or recycling them, try hanging several Easter cards on your refrigerator. They can help up the ante on your home’s Easter vibe.

Put Easter bunnies in eye-catching places. You can also add some Easter-themed flair to your home with Easter bunnies. Try placing a plush pastel Easter bunny on the couch. You could also place a plastic Easter bunny on the back of the toilet, or on a chair in a kitchen corner.

Decorate with chocolate bunnies. A great way to maximize the return on your chocolate bunnies is to use them as decorations in the days or weeks before Easter. Try placing several wrapped chocolate bunnies in a basket. Then place the basket on the kitchen counter, and entryway table, or a side table in the living room. You can also arrange unwrapped chocolate bunnies on a cake stand. Do not decorate with chocolate bunnies if you have small children or pets.

Set a festive Easter table. A wonderful way to decorate for Easter is by setting a festive table. Try using brightly colored dishes and a simple centerpiece of seasonal flowers. You can also use white dishes and spice up the table with bunnies, ducks, and Easter eggs.
