Colour creates atmosphere. Start with a clean, white tablecloth as your base and build colour and texture upon that. Choose a statement table runner to add depth - this can either be an accented colour or a neutral beige. Easter brings forth visions of pastels - think pinks, purples, blues and yellows - as well as effervescent greens and natural tones. If you're aiming for a more neutral vibe, then layer with simple moments of green to create a soft and subtle tonality. Want a more vibrant, vintage or eye-catching table? Then choose a bright colour palette for your homewares and Easter table décor, letting the colours delight.
Coordinate your table linen with your dinnerware and tableware. Mix and match patterns for a playful touch, or stick to a cohesive theme for a more polished look. Tableware can immediately enhance your festive décor, so let your porcelain do the talking - choose colourful and fun decorative plates, bowls, serving platters and cups for an easy yet impactful Easter table décor. For the kids, some whimsical kids' dining sets made from materials like melamine are the perfect way to include them in the table setting. Don't forget the little details - napkins, coasters, placemats and fresh blooms can add an extra layer of charm to your table setting.
Layer your Easter decorations
The centrepiece is where you can really come into your own. Use anything from a bouquet of flowers or greenery, a selection of different candles or even a glass vase filled with Easter eggs. Tiered cake stands are also perfect to add layers to your table, allowing your treats to take centre stage. A selection of Easter-themed treats is also a great way to add texture to your table - layer fruits and nuts with cupcakes and lokum (Turkish delight).
Another way to have a statement table setting is to scatter florals - flowers add a feminine and delicate essence to the décor, easily intensified by pops of bright pinks, blues and reds to bring forth a more colourful tonality. Our favourite idea? Wrap an Easter egg in a napkin to resemble a bunny for a sweet but tasteful nod to the holiday.
Extend the Easter whimsy beyond the dining table and into every corner of your home. Create a welcoming entrance with a festive wreath adorning your doorway, crafted from delicate blossoms and adorned with whimsical Easter eggs.
In the dining room, fill vases with decorative eggs or create a stunning centrepiece using fresh flowers nestled among delicate ferns. Scatter pastel-coloured confetti or petals along the table runner for an added pop of colour.
In the living room, layer pastel-coloured throws and cushions on sofas and armchairs, creating cosy nooks for guests to relax and unwind. Hang Easter-themed bunting or garlands above the fireplace, adding a playful touch to the room's decor.
For an extra-special touch, place Easter-themed trinkets and ornaments throughout your home - from bunny figurines to egg-shaped candles, let your imagination run wild and infuse every corner with the joy of Easter.
As you prepare to host your Easter celebration, remember that creating the perfect atmosphere is all about the details. From choosing the right decor and table setting to planning your perfect Easter menu, every decision you make contributes to the overall experience. So take the time to curate a setting that reflects your style and personality, and don't forget to infuse it with the spirit of Easter. With thoughtful preparation and a touch of creativity, you'll create a memorable gathering that your guests will cherish for years to come. Happy Easter!
