Posting on a Saturday? Call me crazy. Or just call me really busy through the week. Easter is quickly approaching (which means spring break for me!!), and I will say that it’s probably the most difficult holiday for me decor-wise. It means four things–bunnies, eggs, flowers, and baskets. All of which can border on frilly or downright obnoxious if not done well. So how does one decorate for Easter without it looking like an Easter bunny vomited everywhere? Here are some ideas. (Click on pictures for links.)
It can certainly start outside. In some areas of the country (not here!), buds and blooms are already making an appearance. Show off some natural color with these great ideas.
Keep it simple. Moss, flowers, an Easter terrarium? Brilliant!
Decor can include fresh flowers or some subtle accents around the house. I think this is where things can go horribly wrong. Small touches throughout the house are always gonna go a long way. Plus, it just makes things easier on the decorator!
And of course–the Easter table. It doesn’t have to be expensive to decorate. Since “simple” is your friend, keep the cost to a minimum. A cleverly folded napkin or a bundle of the same type of flower can do the job very well.
What would Easter be without the basket? A classic basket. Martha Stewart has it down to a science, doesn’t she?
I’ll be back in a bit to show you how I’ve been decorating. I think you can probably expect no colorful bunny statues or egg garlands, but it’s cute nonetheless. Enjoy your weekend!

I don’t even decorate for Easter. It is just the four of us. Perhaps when the girls were younger their school artwork was the decor? I really never recall decorating! But if I had to, your post is wonderful! I am into the simplicity of it all. LOVE that tulip wreath, the burlap hanging banner (that would be EASY to make!) and even the split-pea wreath–clever! I can’t wait to see what you have done. I love the simple, classic, attractive, “NON-CHEESY” examples you have shown!
LOL!!! Call ME crazy too! I am at my office specifically to do a blog post because I didn’t get it done yesterday! I LOVE these images! I have six totes of Easter decor and I have YET to get them down from the rafters … today needs to be the day! Thanks for the inspiration,
Cute ideas. I haven’t even started decorating for Easter. I bought goodies for my Easter tablescape but got busy with custom orders that are taking up my entire dining room table right now. I hope to get my table done this week. Easter is on its way!
I totally agree! Easter decorating is very hard if you aren’t into the ‘frilliness” of pastel coloured eggs and “cutesy” bunnies. Great inspiration pics! Love those green mossy baskets!

We don’t have anybody that comes to visit to see our decorations but I put them up anyway. Love the colors and the cute bunnies, etc. I love to make banners so I make them anyway. If nothing else I’ll give them to somebody in the neighborhood or people I know that don’t have time to make things to decorate. It’s just fun to make things for the holidays. Maybe someday I’ll find a way to sell all my goodies. That would be nice so I can better afford to make more. Try to stop a paper crafter. Happy Easter
Great round up Chris! 🙂
It’s been decided..golden eggs for all! Love the inspiration! Love it!
