Easter offers a lot of fun options for decorating your home. You can go with a pastel theme, a bunnies and chicks theme, a fresh flowers theme, or anything in between. Decorating your home for Easter can be a ton of fun, especially if you get the whole family involved. Think potted or fresh floral centerpieces, pretty glassware, Easter baskets, and more.
To best decorate your home for Easter, consider each different room as a single location for Easter decorations. You can decorate your bathrooms, dining room, living room, family room, and even your bedroom if you like. You can go for an elaborate look and feel, or keep things simple and classy. Your own style preferences will help you to decorate your home for Easter in a way that best suits you and your family.
Here are some tips on decorating your home inside and out for Easter:
Welcome Spring Right up to Your Doorstep
Try these tips to decorate the outside of your home for Easter:
• Plant perennial bulbs like daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths outside your front walk so that you’ll have fresh flowers in bloom for Easter.
• If you prefer, pick up a few potted blooms from the grocery store or from your local nursery and place the flowerpots with flowers in bloom outside your front door.
• Pick out a cute or elegant welcome mat to set outside your front door to welcome all your guests.
• Consider adding a festive spring flag to the front of your home. You can choose from fun designs like butterflies, flowers, bunnies, birds, and more. You can check out a variety of spring flags, spinners, windsocks, and mailbox covers online at http://www.flagsonastick.com.
Spruce up Your Bathroom for Spring
Try these tips for a festive Easter look in your bathrooms and powder rooms:
• Set out brightly colored or pastel colored hand towels or embroidered fingertip towels with spring or Easter designs.
• Set out fragrant candles with spring scents like lilac, peony, and more.
• Place a potted flower or a small vase with fresh cut flowers on your windowsill or countertop.
• Set out a pretty soap dispenser like new Softsoap Ensembles, which are available in lovely spring colors. These dispensers are festive in fun colors and they are refillable, too!
Make Your Family Room or Living Room a Festive Easter Haven
Try these tips to decorate your living room and / or family room for Easter:
• Unless you have another tradition, consider placing your Easter baskets strategically in a high-traffic area where they’re sure to gain lots of visibility. A bay window is a lovely place to sit a group of Easter baskets, with or without the goodies inside.
• Set out a few Easter plush animals for a fun and casual, home-y feel. Bunnies, chicks, ducks, and lambs make a great addition to any Easter stuffed animals collection.
• Fold a pastel throw or a special Easter themed blanket or throw pillow on the corner of your couch for cool nights or close cuddling.
Open Your Bedroom to Easter Holiday Fun
Try these tips to bring the fun of Easter into your own room, between the sheets, and more:
• Invest in a set of pretty pastel sheets or better yet, a set of sheets with cute spring or Easter designs – flowers, animals, etc.
• Place a vase of fresh cut flowers on your dresser or bureau.
• Set a potted plant on the windowsill.
• Place fragrant scented candles around the room – these can help to inspire some springtime romance as well.
General Tips on Decorating Your Home for Easter
For a festively decorated home for Easter, consider the following decorating tips:
• Beth Dunn, author of Social Climbers, suggests the following decorating tips for Easter:
Pick a theme and stay with it. If you are doing bunnies keep your theme and color scheme consistent. It makes more of an impact.
• Find simple affordable decorations so it does not take a ton of time. Replace the wreath on your door with a pastel floral one. Put pretty statues as your centerpiece and fill bowl with colored eggs. Napkins with an eaters theme are an easy way to dress up your table and then use plain white or any pastel color place mat and plates.
• Look through your drawers, etc. You may have stashed pink or other light colored house hold decorations and forgot about them. Now is a good time to use all your items with color. - Courtesy of Beth Dunn, www.socialclimbers.net
