Easter is a special family holiday that coincides with the start of British summertime. For this reason, many of us think of it as an ideal time to make updates to our home interior and get things looking brighter and more spring-like. 

If you are at home for the long Bank Holiday weekend and are looking for ways to spruce up your rooms, then there are many ways that you can dress your interior for the current season. 

How do you decorate your house for Easter? 

You can have huge fun with Easter decorating because it usually includes a lot of colour and creativity. Winter darks should be swapped for springtime brights and pastel shades, and there is also a lot of opportunity to incorporate spring flowers and elements of the natural world as everything begins to bloom once again. 

This festive season is also the perfect opportunity to get crafty. From Easter garlands for the dinner table to door wreaths to brighten up your entrance, there are many ideas to get you in a springtime state of mind.

Easter decorating ideas

Here are some Easter decorating ideas to inspire your creativity...

Decorate with pastel shades

Painting with pastel colours like pink, blue, yellow and green add a soft and cheerful touch to your decor.

If your walls are not ready for a refresh, then consider upcycling a piece of furniture in a pastel shade or using pastel-coloured tablecloths, throw pillows, or decorative eggs in your living area.

Up the cute factor

Springtime is when we welcome a host of new baby animals into the world. So, why not embrace this magical time of year in your child’s bedroom with some adorable animal-themed decor. 

Comforting paint shades such as Gentle Lamb and Rabbit’s Foot not only sound cute, but they provide warming beige tones to form a soothing backdrop for your little one’s space.

Spruce your bed linen for spring

As the nights get a little warmer, it’s time to lose the heavy blankets and update your bed’s decor with some springtime linen.

Earthy tones create a nurturing and calming bed colour scheme, whereas pops of warm yellow add a touch of brightness and Easter cheer.

Maximise seasonal flowers

We all know that spring is firmly on the way when we start to see the daffodils in the park and brightly coloured crocus beginning to bloom in an array of vibrant colours. 

Therefore, use this opportunity to fill your house with spring joy by compiling small arrangements of colourful flowers around the house in vases and jars. Tulips, hyacinths and lilacs are also synonymous with spring and come in a bright, colourful palette.

Give your hallway an Easter feel

Give your hallway a fun feel and welcome guests with a thoughtful Easter display. Wrap gifts in patterned pastel-coloured paper and add bunny ears-inspired decorations, plus paper flowers and ribbons.

While redecorating with bunny wallpaper might be showing a little too much dedication to the cause, you could give your walls a lick of seasonal-coloured paint in a fresh pastel green shade.

Go eggs-treme

Eggs are such a huge symbol of Easter, so your Easter decor wouldn’t be complete without them.

If you are having friends or family over for dinner over the holiday then you could create a beautiful tablescape using pretty painted eggs arranged in wicker or straw baskets. Add ribbon and feathers for the finishing touches.

Get your guest room ready

If you have guests to stay over for the weekend, then ensure your guest room is looking fresh and inviting. 

Touch up your paintwork, refresh your bed linen  and be sure to add some Easter blooms to the room to make your guests feel welcome and relaxed. 

Sweet-smelling candles and incense will finish off your Easter guestroom interior, as well as perhaps a little dish of speckled mini eggs beside the bed!

Choose bunny-themed accessories

Rabbits are another key feature in our Easter-time celebrations. Therefore, you can embrace our furry springtime friends with bunny-themed soft accessories including cushions, kitchen towels, and throws.

Whether in the bathroom, in the kitchen, or in your bedroom - every room has a place for a little rabbit love!

Hang on Easter wreath

An Easter wreath adds magic and charm to either an external or internal door.

You can make an Easter wreath in a wide range of interior styles - from modern and minimal to traditional and over-the-top! Use natural foliage, twigs, painted eggs and ribbons to decorate your wreath, and get all the family involved when it comes to proudly hanging it up.

Make your storage prettier

Your 2023 spring clean should begin with a good old declutter and your kitchen shelves are a great place to start.

Keep everything smart and organised with labelled glass jars filled with cereal, grains and pasta, and line them up neatly beside one another. Not only will this look prettier, but it will also help you find things easier when you need them.

Dress the dining table

Dressing your table for Easter lunch is so much fun! 

Start with a colour scheme that is bright and cheery, and use it to arrange placemats, crockery, napkins and candles for your guests. Be sure to incorporate a central floral display and why not hang some cute painted eggs from the branches to tie in with your theme.

Make a den

When your little ones are off for the Easter holidays, it’s often tricky to find things to keep them occupied - especially if the British weather is not playing ball!

Building dens is a fun and creative way to keep the kids entertained and also makes a wonderful place for them to hide and munch on their chocolate eggs in secret!

Paint a picture

This time of year offers us amazing opportunities to capture stunning scenery and natural beauty all around us.

Even if you’ve never tried your hand at painting before, this Easter is a great time to start something new. Grab a blank canvas, a brush and some paints, and head off into the wild with only nature as your inspiration. The finished results can take centre stage during your Easter-time celebrations.

Embrace yellow

Yellow is a happy shade that creates a vibrant and playful atmosphere. It’s an ideal colour for Easter as we see it though flowers, baby chicks, and fresh egg yolks.

Warm, muted shades of yellow have been trending especially in Scandinavian and minimalist interior design styles, whereas bolder, brighter shades are popular for mid-century modern and bohemian styles.

Bring the family together

As a parent, there’s no better feeling than seeing your children engaged in a wholesome crafting activity.

Whether it’s decorating eggs, making bunny masks, or painting an Easter-themed picture, get creative together and use the holidays to help your children create some things they are proud to display in their bedrooms.

Pop flowers in your bedroom

Spring flowers are popular in our kitchen and living rooms, but often we forget them when it comes to our bedroom setting.

Whether it’s your own bedroom, your spare room or your child’s bedroom, be sure to place plenty of Easter blooms in your sleep spaces to create peace and harmony throughout your home.

Embrace simplicity

Earthy interior design is often about embracing simplicity and natural beauty - two things which are also symbolic of Easter too.

Therefore, if you are following an organic interior theme, avoid overly ornate or decorative pieces and instead focus on the beauty of natural materials and textures in your home.

Play with pattern

After a long, cold winter, we are all craving a little light-hearted fun. Therefore, bring out your playful side by being creative with your wall decor.

Patterned wallpaper blends beautifully and adds balance to darker half-painted walls and uses bright prints and whimsical artworks to further bring your wall to life.

Maximise the extra natural light

Now the days and evenings are getting longer and lighter, it’s time to embrace the natural light in full glory.

Draw open the curtains, fling back the shutters and open as many windows as possible to let that fresh air and sunlight fill your rooms. You may even want to completely remove blinds and curtains from certain rooms in your home for the summer seasons, or alternatively replace them with lighter voiles and linens for a more springlike appearance.

Keep it cosy

Moving away from winter and into spring doesn’t mean that you have to lose that cosy factor in your home interior.

Even though your colour scheme may be lighter, opt for soft, cosy textiles like wool throws, linen curtains and cotton blankets to add warmth and comfort to an earthy interior. After all, who are we kidding by pretending we won’t still need the extra layers, even during the summer months!

Go over-the-top on the greenery

An Easter decorated interior can afford to go over the top with foliage. In fact, in our opinion, you can never have enough greenery in your home.

Layer draping houseplants on shelving of different heights, combine larger plants and trees with small succulents and experiment with different pots and stands to display them in.
