How to decorate for Easter
Decorating for Easter isn’t so different from sprucing up the house for other holidays, including a centerpiece, wreath or a color theme. Here are a few fun ideas if you’ve never decorated the house or yard for Easter.
- Color theme: For Easter or spring, opt for soft pastel colors, such as robin’s egg blue, citrus yellow or lavender. These light colors symbolize the start of spring and the celebration of new life, from baby birds to flower buds and everything in between. When picking out Easter decorations, stick with light, airy and something that can easily switch to springtime decor.
- Indoor decor: Dining rooms, fireplace mantles and coffee tables are each excellent locations to spruce up for the Easter holiday. You can also decorate a rustic Easter tree with ornaments or egg garland.
- Outdoor decor: Regarding outdoor Easter decor, nothing is more welcoming to guests than a festive doormat and colorful wreath. You can also set up Easter inflatables in the yard or brighten the patio with Easter decorations.
Easter craft ideas
- Decoupage Easter eggs: Step outside the box and get creative with fun egg crafts that don’t involve hard-boiled eggs and messy dye. Decoupage Easter eggs are appropriate for all ages and will work with whatever arts and crafts supplies you have lying around the house. Eggs are the base of this project, and you can use foam, wood, plastic or papier-mache eggs. Next, apply a thin layer of decoupage or Mod Podge over the entire egg. Lastly, decorate the outside with various supplies, including cute napkins, colorful tissue paper, scrapbook pages, glitter and anything else your heart desires.
- Paper Easter Egg wreath: If little ones want a wreath to hang on their bedroom door just like your home decor, quickly whip up this fun craft using a paper plate as the base. You’ll want to find paper with fun designs and cut out 10 to 15 eggs to glue on the paper plate base. Then, attach a ribbon, and the Easter egg wreath is complete.
