Easter is such a lovely time of year. I’m hopping with excitement like a little bunny.
Whatever your beliefs, we can all join in the celebration of new beginnings. Fill your house with the sights and scents of spring – anything from some flowering bulbs, or a pretty egg-tree. Then gather some friends and family and share delicious food and a bit of light-hearted fun. No one is ever too old to enjoy an egg hunt, are they?
Here are three easy ways to decorate your home this Easter
Bulbs in jar
Buy some potted bulbs. Take them out of their pots, divide and carefully wash the long roots to remove all the soil. This is great activity for little hands, who’ll find the long roots really fascinating.
Place in a jam jar or a vase with a little water. Don’t submerge the bulb, you just need a little bit of water for the roots. The bulbs have everything they need inside them and will continue to flower!
Pretty posies in unusual pots
Make your spring flowers really shine by arranging them in interesting old china – like a pretty teacup or an old mug. An easy trick to achieve a really pretty, balanced arrangement is to create a grid with tape. I used washi tape as it’s more gentle on old china.
It makes it much easier to create an even display that won’t fall over!
An Egg tree
It’s an Easter classic that everyone should have a go at. Gather some twigs, ideally with green shoots or blossom on them. Casually arrange in a pot or vase and hang little decorations on the ‘branches’. Pussy willow also works brilliantly. Mine usually look a bit lopsided, but it wouldn’t be the same without one!
What are your favourite ways to decorate your home at Easter? I’d love to hear them in the comments!
Genius idea with the tape Lizzie! Thank you. We usually have an Easter tree in the garden and often a branch in the house too. Last year I decorated the stairs with branches and eggs.
Such a lovely idea to do Easter decorating! I think Boo would do his best to destroy it all though if I had a go 😉 X #HomeEtc
I love your little posy pots Lizzie! Such a clever idea 🙂 I’ve got some jam jars with ready made mesh lids from Rose and Grey that do the same thing — love the idea of popping the posies in little mugs though 🙂 Hope you’ve had a fabulous Easter xx #HomeEtc
Thank you Caro! I’d like one of those jam jars – must invest in one this year
Gorgeous and so sweet – I adore flowers and displaying them. Thanks for sharing and linking up xx Happy Easter!

Thanks Jess! x
Oh I love the idea to take up the whole bulb. I think I might be a little late now, but I would love to do this next year xx
Thanks Kerry! My boys really enjoyed it
Gorgeous ideas and I love the idea of transplanting bulbs – I’d never thought about that so will definitely be giving that a go 🙂 #HomeEtc
