With Easter approaching, now is the perfect time to add some fresh spring touches to your home. As children Easter was all about the chocolate eggs and spotting the Easter bunny, now as interior loving adults, the celebration gives us the perfect opportunity to give home a seasonal uplift. In this week’s Style Note we share our favourite Easter decorating ideas.
How to create an Easter wreath or Easter tree
An Easter wreath is a charming way to welcome visitors to your home, and it needn’t be limited to the front door. Our Mixed Dried Grass Wreath is the perfect base for customising an individual seasonal wreath for an interior wall or door. Tie in pastel bows or weave through faux flowers or stems for a truly original piece. You can also create your own Easter tree to display in a heavy-based vase for an Easter table centre, using sturdy twigs or branches and hanging egg decorations. If you are short on foraging time, our Faux Gingko Leaf Sprays offer just the right level of support for our Swirled Glass Hanging Eggs.
Setting the Easter table
Easter Sunday lunch is the perfect occasion to showcase your favourite dinnerware and smartest wine glasses. Mirror nature’s spring colours with a palette of blue and yellow for your table linen which will blend happily with any flowers or centrepiece you may choose. Our Vintage Glassware collection brings sophistication to any occasion whatever you are drinking and our Adie Dinnerware offers a refreshingly relaxed take on classic white china, which will work as well outdoors as it does in the dining room. Bunny Wire Napkin Rings are a cute finishing touch to mark each place setting.
Easter flowers for every corner of home
Spring flowers are synonymous with decorating for Easter and are the perfect way to offer an instant refresh in any room. Bud vases with single or small sprigs of flowers cut fresh from the garden can be dotted around a room for a cohesive scheme. For larger, more elaborate displays, opt for a statement vase and the longevity of faux flowers and stems for impressive arrangements that will last long beyond the holidays.
Bring home the Easter bunny
Think of Easter and the Easter Bunny is not far behind the chocolate eggs when we consider all the things we associate with this holiday. Happily, hares and rabbits are an enduring and popular motif at Cox & Cox, so what better way to welcome guests to your home than with our Hare Door Knocker or elegant Rusty Hare ornament who will provide a reassuring presence indoors or out.
Organise a stylish Easter egg hunt
Easter egg hunts don't have to be just for the children. Plan an indoor Easter egg hunt using our charming wooden eggs which can be hung from window furniture, dangled from door knobs or suspended from beams for people to discover. Ensure there is a prize for the person or team who spots or retrieves the most eggs and you have the perfect Easter party game to keep the mood sweet if the weather lets you down or lunch runs a little late!
