Create an Adorable Egg Countdown
Create excitement for the season by creating an Easter Sunday countdown calendar out of colorful, plastic eggs.

Bring Out the Bunny Vase
Pro tip: Keep your eye out year-round for unique finds that you can style for the spring and summer holiday season. This funky, bunny bookend is sold as a set for kids' rooms but works overtime as a whimsical vase that would look amazing as part of a Sunday centerpiece.
Layer on the Pastels
Invite light into your home by layering preppy prints, pastel hues and gauzy fabrics. It’s easy for us to envision hosting Easter in this blue and white living room. The airy space sports its Sunday best with lush hydrangea arrangements, pale pink throws and Chinoiserie porcelain, galore.
Tinker With Antique Treasures
Take out your treasured spring and summer tchotchkes, and style them with colorful, fresh-cut blooms. We adore the way this vibrant display features a pair of pretty, vintage birds, glossy white pitchers and an antique milk glass vase.
Take a Modern Approach
Skip the pastels and stick to a sea of neutral hues, instead. We’re obsessed with the earthy tones used to create this mossy, modern centerpiece. Opting for muted or neutral colors will give your display more of an elevated, adult quality and ensures it will coordinate with your existing and future seasonal decor.
Style With Spring Staples
Nothing says springtime like sunny yellow tulips and a nest full of robin's eggs. Set the scene for the season and recreate this festive, Easter wreath for your front door using faux tulips and supplies from your local craft store.

Play Up Pastels
Play up the airy, Easter color palette by swapping out your staple terra-cotta or rattan planters with their colorful counterparts. This prickly pack dresses up the otherwise white mantel with a wash of pretty pastel color.
Try a Sunny Bunny Tablescape

Brighten Your Bedside Table
Begin Easter season with fresh perspective and renewed ambition. One way to get there is by refreshing your bedroom design for spring. Toss any dark or bulky bedside accessories, and deck out your nightstand with crisp accents like this chic, white-on-white lamp and dreamy, fresh iris arrangement.
Hardcore Hardware
Ready to really commit to the season? Swap out simple hardware with some refined, rabbit alternatives like the brackets seen here. Trust us, all those small and subtle details add up to big style results and create a space sure to stand out from the rest.
Float Your Florals
Fill the floating shelves in your kitchen with a bounty of overflowing blooms from your garden. Create an organic and elegant display by arranging the fresh-cuts in varied vases and unique, vintage pitchers. Take note from interior designer Leann Ford and pair soft, periwinkle posies with vibrant turquoise accents to create a chic Easter appeal.
Start Nesting
Head to the nearest craft store to recreate this darling, dangling Easter nest, ASAP. Use ribbon or twine to hang your nest from door handles, drawer knobs or wall hooks in your mudroom. We love this project because it's easy to customize to your personal style and current Easter decor, whether it's bright and cheery or subtle and sophisticated with pastels.

Mix Veggie Garden Bounty + Spring Blooms
When it comes to creating your Easter centerpiece this year, we encourage you to arrange outside the (flower) box. Bring together aromatic roses and fluffy peonies with an equally dazzling cabbage or kale bloom. These unexpected, veggie accents are ideal for Easter arrangements because they bring unique texture to the display and make a subtle nod towards rabbits and their vegetable garden stomping grounds.
Force Bulbs in Chalkboard Pots
Add a cheery pop of spring color to your foyer, living room, kitchen — or anywhere. Chalkboard spray paint and inexpensive terra cotta pots are all you need. Once the bulbs have finished blooming indoors, plant them in your garden so you can enjoy their flowers for many springs to come.

Empty the whites and yolk carefully through the hole, and rinse the shell with water. Fill with delicate flowers like sweet pea and mimosa. Place the eggs in a carton or individually in eggcups.
