6 Iconic Easter Decorations To Tuck Into Your Spring Decor

Iconic Easter decorations add charm to spring decor. From rabbits and eggs to fresh flowers and seasonal scents, here’s how to style your home beautifully.

Our home has been decorated for spring for a few weeks. Like many other bloggers, I decorate four to six weeks earlier so you have plenty of ideas for seasonal decorating when you’re ready. I follow a simple formula for spring decorating—The Lazy Girl’s Guide To Spring Decorating—because it’s the easiest way to add beautiful seasonal touches to a home.

Now it’s time to bring in a few nods to Easter! Since my spring decor is already in place, adding Easter elements is easy. A few well-placed seasonal decorations will give a home a festive and charming look without feeling overdone. These classic Easter decorations work beautifully when tucked into spring vignettes, tablescapes, and any flat surface in your home.

Here are six iconic Easter decorations that will make any home feel warm and welcoming this season…

Rabbits And Bunnies

You know how rabbits can multiply so easily! Think of that when adding this iconic Easter decoration. One or two bunnies are the perfect addition to spring decor. No need to overuse them. A well-placed rabbit brings just the right Easter look and feel without overwhelming a space. A bunny or two is the most iconic way to add a bit of Easter to your home.

Here are a few creative ways to use rabbits in spring decor:

• Place a ceramic or wooden bunny on a coffee table tray with a small vase of fresh flowers and a stack of decorative books.
• Tuck a bunny figurine into a bookshelf alongside neutral accessories for a subtle seasonal touch.
• Use a rabbit statue as the centerpiece of a spring vignette on an entryway table. Pair it with a woven basket filled with speckled eggs.
• Nestle a small bunny into a spring wreath on a dining table, mantel, or front door.
• Set a rabbit alongside a potted plant or blooming spring bulb for an organic, nature-inspired look.
• Add a petite bunny with seasonal linens and small decorative eggs to a tiered tray in the kitchen.
• Choose a neutral-toned rabbit figurine to blend seamlessly with everyday decor.

A little goes a long way with Easter decorations. A single well-placed rabbit will make a home feel fresh, festive, and ready for the season.

Eggs

When I think of Easter, I think of Easter eggs. They are another iconic Easter decoration! One of the really wonderful things about Easter eggs is that they come in all shapes and sizes, so you can always find the right size and color to work with your decor. Like rabbits and bunnies, one or two well-placed Easter egg displays are all you need to add that perfect nod to the upcoming holiday.

Here are creative ways to decorate Easter eggs at home:

• Place a small nest filled with eggs on a side table, bookshelf, or tray for a simple seasonal touch.
• Fill a decorative bowl or dough bowl with eggs and tuck in a bit of moss or greenery for a natural look.
• Arrange eggs under a glass cloche on a pedestal or tray for an elegant display.
• Stack pastel or neutral eggs in a hurricane vase or apothecary jar for an easy centerpiece.
• Scatter a few eggs along a mantel or sideboard mixed with spring greenery or candles.
• Nestle eggs into a spring wreath and hang it on a front door, over a mirror, or on a kitchen hood.
• Use eggs as part of a place setting by resting one on a napkin or in a small cup at each seat.
• Put eggs in egg cups and line them on a kitchen shelf.
• Display the eggs in an egg crate or ceramic egg holder on a kitchen counter or dining table.
• Arrange a collection of eggs on a cake stand with sprigs of fresh greenery or a few tiny blossoms.
• Place an oversized decorative egg on a console table as a statement piece.

With so many ways to style Easter eggs, it’s easy to find a display that works beautifully with your home’s decor.

Cut Tulips And Blooming Branches

Spring would not be spring without adding a grocery store bouquet of cut tulips and cutting a few booming branches during Easter. This year, Easter is late, so I like to mimic what I see outside my front door. Tulips abound this time of year, and the trees are puffy clouds of pink and white blooms dotting our neighborhood.

Tulips add a lovely element of gracefulness, while branches such as pussy willow, forsythia and cherry blossoms add height and drama.

Even more than bunnies, eggs, and nests, cut spring flowers, branches, real or faux, and other organics define the season and Easter in our home. It’s a natural way to decorate!

Here are some creative ways to use cut tulips and blooming branches for Easter decorating:

• Arrange a bouquet of tulips in a clear glass vase to show their elegant stems and bring a fresh spring touch to a kitchen counter or dining table.
• Place a bundle of tulips in a ceramic pitcher for a soft, farmhouse-inspired look that pairs beautifully with Easter decor.
• Nestle a small bunch of tulips into a dough bowl with speckled eggs and moss for a natural and organic centerpiece.
• Display a tall arrangement of blooming branches in a statement vase to add height and drama to an entryway table or mantel.
• Use forsythia or cherry blossom branches in a large urn to create a dramatic Easter focal point.
• Weave small sprigs of blooming branches into an Easter wreath to hang on a front door or above a fireplace.
• Fill a woven basket with blooming branches and a few decorative eggs for a charming seasonal display.

Using fresh tulips and blooming branches is a simple way to bring the beauty of spring into a home, making Easter decor feel effortless and natural.

Nests

There is something so sweet about finding a nest tucked into or sitting on decor in a home. Nests are symbolic of home, and adding a few appropriately-sized eggs to the nest is a reminder of new life. Just like the other iconic Easter decorations, use them sparingly. A single nest can make a space feel fresh and seasonal without overwhelming it. Try placing them in unexpected spots, like tucked into a bookshelf or nestled inside a bowl in a vignette, to create delightful little surprises throughout your home.

Nests are a very textural and natural element. They add a bit of rustic, natural beauty to our home.

Here are creative places to tuck nests into spring decor:

• Nestle a small nest in a bookshelf between books and decorative accents for a subtle seasonal touch.
• Place a nest inside a dough bowl with speckled eggs and moss for an easy and natural centerpiece.
• Display a nest in a decorative bowl on a coffee table or kitchen island for a simple yet beautiful seasonal accent.
• Use a nest in a tablescape by setting one on each plate as a charming Easter place setting.
• Place a small nest inside a glass cloche for an elegant, nature-inspired accent on a sideboard or mantel.
• Rest a nest on a bedside table or dresser for a soft and unexpected seasonal touch.
• Tuck a nest into a floral arrangement with blooming branches or tulips for a layered, organic look.

A well-placed nest brings warmth and seasonal beauty to a home, making Easter decor feel effortless and naturally inviting.

Potted Spring Bulbs

Re-potting blooming spring bulbs that I find at our local grocery store or Amish nursery is my favorite way to celebrate spring and Easter in our home this year. And it’s so easy. My favorite place to display a little spring flower garden is on my kitchen counter or coffee table!

Put three blooming tete-a-tete daffodils, crocus, or even hyacinth in your grocery cart, take them home, and replant them in something pretty. They usually last longer than their cut counterparts. They typically last longer than cut flowers, making them a wonderful addition to your decor. When the blooms fade, simply swap out the entire bulb for a fresh one. Re-potting spring bulbs for Easter decorations is an easy and rewarding way to bring spring indoors, and guests will love the surprise of these pretty gifts of spring thriving in your home.

Here are creative ways to use re-potted spring bulbs in Easter decor:

• Group several pots of spring bulbs on a kitchen counter or island for a fresh, cheerful display.
• Nestle a re-potted bulb in a vintage bowl or teacup for a delicate and charming spring accent.
• Arrange a collection of blooming bulbs in a woven basket and tuck in moss or decorative eggs for an easy Easter centerpiece.
• Line up small potted bulbs along a windowsill to bring the beauty of spring indoors.
• Use a potted flower as a place setting favor at an Easter table—guests will love taking them home.
• Display a cluster of spring bulbs in terra cotta pots on a flat surface in your home.
• Tuck a potted daffodil or hyacinth into a bookshelf or hutch for a fresh and unexpected pop of color.
• Set a blooming bulb inside a decorative pedestal bowl and surround it with moss for a classic Easter look.
• Place potted bulbs in a wooden crate or dough bowl with natural elements like twigs and a few eggs for a rustic spring vignette.
• Keep a small potted bulb on a nightstand or bathroom vanity for a simple seasonal touch in any room.

Re-potting spring bulbs is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to decorate for Easter. The fresh blooms bring life and beauty to a home, and the ability to swap out spent flowers makes them a long-lasting seasonal favorite.

Easter Inspired Pillow

I have a little confession—I’m not a fan of pillows with a specific seasonal or holiday motif. Pillows adorned with bunnies, chicks, eggs, or phrases about spring and Easter tend to feel like a distraction in a room, making the space look… well, a bit overdone and too cutesy.

But last year, I found a rabbit pillow I couldn’t pass up! That one pillow was the exception to my no-seasonal-motif rule. If you come across an Easter pillow you truly love, by all means, use it. But just that one. A single well-chosen pillow is more than enough to add a festive touch without overwhelming your decor.

Here are a few thoughtful ways to use an Easter-inspired pillow in your decor:

• Place a single Easter pillow on a sofa or accent chair to create a subtle seasonal touch without overwhelming the space.
• Layer an Easter pillow with solid or textured pillows in soft spring colors like pale green, blush, or ivory for a cohesive look.
• Use a neutral-toned pillow with an understated Easter design to blend seamlessly with existing decor.
• Add a seasonal pillow to a guest bedroom bench or bed for a small but festive detail.
• Tuck an Easter pillow onto an entryway bench for a welcoming spring touch.
• Choose a pillow with a nature-inspired design like soft florals, branches, or subtle rabbit silhouettes for a more timeless look.
• Swap out an existing pillow in a cozy reading nook with one simple Easter-themed pillow to bring in the season.
• Mix an Easter pillow with textured throws in linen or lightweight cotton for a fresh spring feel.

A single well-placed Easter pillow can bring charm and warmth to a home without feeling overdone.

Bonus: Scents Of The Season

Scents play a powerful role in creating a warm and inviting home, but they are often forgotten when decorating for Easter. A subtle seasonal fragrance in the air makes a space feel fresh, uplifting, and connected to the time of year. Some of my favorite scents for Easter and spring are mint, lavender, cherry blossom, and lemongrass. These light, natural fragrances add a soft and refreshing touch to a home.

Although I love the scent of hyacinths, they are incredibly strong—just one pot of blooming or cut hyacinths can fill an entire room with their heady aroma. Whether using fresh flowers, a candle, a diffuser, or a simmer pot, adding a gentle hint of seasonal fragrance is one of the easiest ways to enhance the beauty of spring decor.

Here are a few ways to bring the scents of Easter into your home:

• Burn a softly scented candle in lavender, fresh citrus, or a floral blend to create a welcoming atmosphere.
• Diffuse essential oils like lemon, peppermint, or chamomile for a fresh and natural scent.
• Make a spring simmer pot with lemon slices, fresh mint, and a touch of vanilla for a light and refreshing fragrance.
• Place sachets of dried lavender or chamomile in linen drawers or tucked into baskets for a subtle scent throughout the home.
• Use naturally scented cleaning sprays with hints of citrus or herbs to refresh a kitchen or living space.
• Add a few drops of essential oil to wool dryer balls when drying linens and towels for a lingering seasonal scent.
• Display fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or mint in small pots on a windowsill or kitchen counter for both fragrance and beauty.
• Place a few sprigs of blooming branches like lilac or cherry blossoms in a vase to bring in their delicate scent.

If you love filling your home with seasonal aromas using a simmer pot, you might enjoy Summer Simmer Pot—it’s just as perfect for a spring home!

Easter decorations don’t have to be overdone to make a home feel festive and welcoming. A few well-placed touches, like a rabbit figurine, a small nest, or a vase of tulips, bring just the right amount of seasonal charm. Add a favorite spring scent, and your home will feel as fresh and beautiful- the reflection of the season. Decorating for Easter should be simple, joyful, and effortless. Just remember, a little goes a long way!
