Flowers, beautiful eggs and charming animals make decorating for Easter extra fun. Use these indoor and outdoor Easter decorating ideas Pottery Barn to find new inspiration for adding seasonal beauty to your home. Whether your celebration includes egg-hunting for kids or will be a grown-up event with delicious brunch cocktails, you can customize these decor ideas to delight everyone in your home.

Use Different Materials for Textural Variety

Linen, burlap, galvanized metal and smooth ceramic are all great options for different Easter decor, especially when you mix and match them. Easter naturally lends itself to a rustic, woodsy aesthetic that echos the natural splendor of spring. This makes woody or willowy materials ideal for Easter baskets. Display the baskets on a buffet table during Easter brunch. Or, create vignettes by displaying them alongside wooden eggs or rabbit figurines. Create contrast with the baskets’ branches by tying on velvet or satin bows. Or, opt for a galvanized metal bucket instead of natural material. Line it with linen or burlap for extra-rustic texture. Ceramic decorations get some extra depth when you place them among moss or faux bird nests. Play with different textures and colors with your Easter decor to emphasize the nature-inspired elements of the holiday.

Get Earthy with Your Eggs

Plastic Easter eggs are fun for egg hunts, and wooden eggs look great on Easter wreaths. However, if you want to go for something non-traditional, elegant and long-lasting, consider displaying gemstone eggs. These egg-shaped decor pieces are formed from polished natural minerals such as jasper, selenite, quartz, amethyst or malachite. They’re polished and beautiful, making fantastic Easter displays on their own or in a group. When displaying your mineral eggs as a group, use a footed bowl lined with natural moss or dried grasses to give them an earthy cushion. This makes a fantastic centerpiece on your dining table or a side table.

Use Real Carrots and Eggs Unexpectedly

Fresh-picked garden carrots with frilly, leafy tops and hollowed-out eggs both make excellent additions to your Easter decor. They work with a variety of different Easter centerpiece or wreath arrangements. Fresh carrots won’t stay sturdy and pretty forever. However, if you add them to your decor just before your celebration, they’ll look wonderful. Tuck them into vases as part of your seasonal floral arrangements. This lets the green tops serve as bouquet fillers. Or, attach the carrots to a willow wreath with wire. As for the eggs, you can dye them, paint them or even decoupage them with pictures of flowers cut from gardening catalogs. Blown eggs are lightweight. They’re easy to attach to a wreath. You can also display them on a stand or delicately stack them in a decorative basket on a counter or tabletop after dyeing them.

A Basket Alternative to the Classic Front Door Wreath

Baskets are such an iconic staple of the Easter season. They remind us of our childhood and symbolize nature’s seasonal bounty, from bird’s nests to gardens springing back to life after a long winter’s rest. To replace a wreath with a basket, choose a hanging basket style with a flat side and a hanging hook. This helps you suspend it from a wall or a door. Fill the basket with faux grass to spill over the sides. Add decorative eggs and faux flowers. Then, top it off at the handle with a beautiful pastel bow. With this approach, you can go for an all-natural look or opt for modern metallic or multicolored eggs.

Convert Your Planters into Elegant Easter Decor

Spring is the perfect time to fill your front porch garden planters with beautiful flowers. Whether you use plants from a nursery or grow your blooms from bulbs, save some room for Easter decor! Reserve empty space to tuck a faux nest with some weather-resistant glass or plastic eggs into one planter. Add a moss-covered bunny figurine or some faux baby chicks to the other.

Other decorative possibilities include bottlebrush ducklings or fairy garden decor that make it look as if the Easter bunny himself has taken up residence in one of your planters. Complete the look with a pile of faux carrots. Let your imagination run wild to create planters that complement the Easter wreath on your front door. When Easter is over, you can remove the holiday decor fill in those empty spaces with plants to last you for the rest of the spring.
