Egg-cellent Easter Decoration Ideas for Your Home

Spring is knocking on our door, which means it’s time to clean and decorate for Easter! We’re sharing our favourite ways to do just that below. From decoration ideas to egg hunt ideas, and some themed arts and crafts, we have it all here!

Decorating Your Home for Easter

To welcome the spring season and the Easter bunny, the very first thing you can do is add plenty of themed home décor to your sitting room or back garden. Whether you’re looking for some that are already made for you, or you want to create DIY decorations — you have endless options with our Easter party range. 

DIY Easter Decoration Ideas

As the spring season approaches, we often get inspired to take on more DIY projects. What better way to do that than by inviting spring into your home with our fun, themed DIY decoration ideas! Try these 5 easy, fun projects before the Easter Bunny arrives: 

1. An Easter-Inspired Table Setting

Whether you’re planning on throwing an Easter party, or you just want to have something beautiful to look at this season, an Easter-inspired table setting is a great home décor idea. 

To make a festive and colourful table setting, find unique ways you can add pops of colours. Pastels and bright, vibrant colours are quintessential to the season. Add them in anywhere from your dining chairs to your candles and vases. For vases, be sure to add plenty of beautiful flowers! To really let the pastel colours shine, you can add white serving dishes, tableware, and candle holders so the bright pops of colour take centre stage. However, pastel-coloured plates can make for an exciting, festive table setting, too. 

2. Create an Easter-Themed Balloon Arch

To create larger-than-life wall art for a party, a themed balloon arch is the perfect decoration! It’s also an affordable and simple Easter decoration idea for a small space. It won’t take much for the small space to feel fully decorated. To start with, you can begin by selecting balloons in colours reminiscent of the season. Think soft whites, creams, and nudes paired with light pink, pastels and even sage green colours.

Blow up the balloons to your desired sizes. To create more visual interest, you can play with three or four different sizes. Then, string them together using florists’ wire or something similar. From there, it’s as simple as using a strong, wall-safe adhesive to attach it to the wall or bannister you want to decorate. While you can choose any colours you wish, to make it easier, we have the pastel balloon arch kit, complete with colours perfect for the occasion. 

3. Bring Spring Inside by Using Flowers from Your Garden

If you’re a home gardener, you may be able to reuse some items to create unique Easter decorations. Flowers from your own garden make the perfect opportunity to bring spring inside. Simply cut as many as you’d like to create beautiful flower arrangements and centrepieces. You can even use herbs you have in your garden, like rosemary and mint to add extra colour and to make your home smell lovely and fresh. To really bring in the Easter traditions, consider adding a bunch of faux egg picks to the arrangement. 

4. Find Ways to Incorporate Traditional Easter Symbols

Speaking of Easter traditions, another fantastic themed decoration idea is incorporating the traditional symbols into your home décor. Consider toy bunnies, eggs, carrots, and flowers.  Recycle items in your home, such as baskets, to create unique Easter decorations that also include those symbols.

For example, create a table centrepiece out of a basket. Tie pastel coloured ribbon to the handle of it. Then add decoupage eggs or other decorative eggs to the basket. Place it on your table and surround it with simple floral arrangements. This will give you a creative and unique way to use Easter symbols in your decorations. You can also add a beautiful, springtime and Easter-inspired garland to your table setting. Choose one that has Easter eggs or bunnies already in it to incorporate those traditional symbols. 

5. Use a Spring Colour Scheme

If you’re not keen on using literal symbols, such as Easter eggs and bunnies in your decorations, then why not get inspired by the colours of the season instead! You can use the colour scheme for everything from tableware and baskets for Easter egg hunts, to the colour of sweets and chocolates you put out for your guests.

Easter Art Ideas and Easter Craft Ideas

Whether you’re getting ready for an Easter party or you just want something fun and creative to do at a family gathering, these art and craft ideas are perfect for family fun. 

1. Traditional Dyed Easter Eggs

When most think of Easter and traditional celebrations or activities, they might immediately think of dyed Easter eggs. It’s still one of the most fun and creative activities you can do to celebrate the day! Adults and kids alike have so much fun with this craft idea. Plus, it’s so easy!

Simply mix 100ml of boiling water with 5ml of vinegar. Add 10 to 20 drops of your favourite colour dye, we'd recommend complementary colours for the season, like pastels. Dip hard-boiled eggs into the dye mixture and let them sit for 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the dye and let them dry on a napkin. 

2. Make an Easter Tree

Don’t worry, we’re not asking you to pull your Christmas trees back out! An Easter tree is much easier to do than the tremendous decorating task of preparing your Christmas tree. To make a DIY tree, simply get a small, yet heavy vase and find some sturdy branches that have fallen from your trees outside.

Then, it’s as easy as collecting decorative eggs in the colours you want and trimming some ribbons of a complementary colour. Cut the ribbons so that they will wrap around the length of the egg. Make sure that it has enough length left over to hang like an ornament from the tree. Wrap the ribbon around the long side of the egg and glue it down. Once it’s dried, then you can tie the ribbon on the tree branch. 

3. String Together an Easter Egg Garland

A garland hanging from a mantlepiece, a bannister, or even across a wall is a great Easter decoration idea. It can easily be turned into a complete arts and crafts idea that can be done with your whole family. You’ll need a sturdy type of string, twine, or wire the length of where you intend to hang the garland. 

Poke small holes at the ends of the decorative eggs, whether they’re plastic, paper or paper mache. Paint your eggs, if you’d like, in different colours according to your spring colour palette. When they’re dry, it’s as easy as threading the eggs through the holes onto the string, twine, or wire. If you’d like, you can add tassels to the ends of the garland for extra décor. 

Easter Decoration Ideas for Outside Your Home

An Easter egg hunt is a fantastic way to celebrate this holiday, particularly if you have children. But if you’re looking for additional ways to decorate the outside of your home or your back garden, then this is the perfect time to do it. 

1. Set Up an Easter Egg Hunt Masterpiece

Your Easter egg hunt doesn’t have to just be decorative eggs tossed haphazardly in your back garden. If you’re planning to host an Easter party combined with an egg hunt, or you just want your children to have a memorable experience, then use this time to set up a masterpiece of an egg hunt. 

Get creative with how you decorate the outdoors, including signage, to get everyone excited for the egg hunt. Have a collection of baskets so everyone can grab one that they like. You can also create a photo opportunity for your guests with Easter-inspired banners, festive flags, curtain backdrops, and Easter bunny decor. 

2. Hang an Easter Wreath

To both welcome you home and to welcome your friends and family to your Easter party, you’ll want to decorate the outside of your home. That’s where an Easter wreath comes in handy. It’s a simple, easy decoration idea to add to your home. But it goes a long way in setting the mood and tone for the celebration. 

3. Create Fabric-Wrapped Plant Containers

If you’re outside to celebrate Easter with an egg hunt, beautiful floral arrangements are the perfect décor item. You can even take it a step further by decorating your plant containers. Whether you go with galvanised steel buckets or you prefer terracotta planting pots, they can be decorated to fit with the theme of the day. Choose some fabric that is reminiscent of spring and Easter. Then, wrap or fit around the pot. Smooth the fabric and trim any excess fabric from the sides as needed. Once the fabric is on the pot, secure it in place.

Easter is a wonderful time to celebrate spring and the, hopefully, warmer months. Why not do it with our fun, themed decorating ideas? If you ask us, the best time to decorate for the occasion is a week or so before the actual celebration. Especially if you plan to DIY your décor, as we have outlined here!
