Kick off your Easter festivities with a front door decked out in spring style. Creating this DIY faux tulip wreath is easier than it looks, and you can leave it hanging on your door all season long.

Infuse your coffee table or kitchen counter with Easter spirit with a fresh floral display. We’re obsessed with this hydrangea arrangement that features a rustic wire basket and pastel egg base. The cute cake-stand-turned-bunny terrarium comes in at a close second.

Greet the season by dangling a festive floral wreath on your front door. This darling design is sure to steal your heart, mixing delicate dogwoods with textured branches and a pair of petite love birds, front and center.

Take note from interior designer Leann Ford and pair soft, periwinkle posies with vibrant turquoise accents to create a chic Easter appeal.

It doesn’t get much sweeter than this. Create a cute, cotton-bottomed door hanger using two embroidery hoops, pastel fabric and ribbon, and polish it off with pretty, faux pearl embellishments.

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.

If pastels aren't your thing, display 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, sophisticated quality and ensure it will coordinate with your existing and future seasonal decor.

This easy-to-make door decoration brings together two spring garden favorites – tulips and carrots. Faux greenery and tulips (you can buy them in bunches, but we used individual flowers because they look nicer) were fastened together with floral wire gradually widening to create a carrot shape. A simple ribbon cinches the bouquet together.

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.

Create an English ivy topiary or add a moss bunny to an existing planter for Easter. To make the topiary, bend a wire coat hanger into a circle or another shape like a heart or rectangle. To provide extra support for the topiary, attach a dowel to the base with wire. Insert the base into the pot then plant the ivy — we used two 3-inch plants. Then wrap the ivy around the topiary. To make the bunny, you’ll need two Styrofoam balls, faux moss, two popsicle sticks, a hot glue gun and ribbon. Glue the two balls together to create the form. Cut one popsicle stick in half for the ears. You may have to cut each side down a bit to get it to the right size. Insert the flat side of each stick into the head to create the ears. Insert the other popsicle stick in the bottom of the bunny so you can stand it up in the planter. Fasten the moss to the form using hot glue. Add a bow around the neck and you’re done.

Celebrate the season of sunshine by recreating this sunny bunny table display. A crisp yellow and white lattice tablecloth serves as the perfect backdrop to vintage serveware, miniature egg baskets and a handsome bunny figurine.
