So, you’re hosting Easter lunch and you want to make your table unforgettable? Here are some easy ways to avoid the kitschy decorations, keep it chic and style your table in a way that’ll really have your guests talking!
Whether used as a centrepiece filled with eggs, for a floral arrangement or as serving ware for bread, baskets give an immediate feeling of Easter festivity. The best part about baskets as decor is that they can often be used elsewhere throughout the year, whether for helping with organisation or a decorative element.
Sticking to a cohesive palette with just a few colours will keep your table looking elegant and refined. Blue and white with natural accents is always a winner, but soft hues and neutrals are a pretty safe bet.
If you really want your table to look its best, it should look cohesive within your home. If your space is mostly earthy and organic, you don’t have to go for the pastel pinks and yellows we see all over the stores. Here we’ve used rustic elements that keep in the theme of the season, whilst still keeping in the theme of a modern organic home.
Lots of delicate textures in a floral arrangement can evoke the softness and blossoming feeling of Easter decor. Thanks to this, foraging a few fronds and leaves from a bunch of plants in your backyard can make for a striking and effective centrepiece. We created these arrangements just from the trees, ferns and grasses in the garden!
It’s sustainable, chic and can be used for your dinner when you’re through with the leftovers! Incorporating food into your table scapes has really taken off in recent years, but Easter is certainly the time to try it out if you haven’t yet.
Apart from classic carrots, artichokes make for an easy statement, and potted or chopped herbs in pretty planters, baskets or vases are perfect for adding some soft texture.
If you’re going to invest in some seasonal specific decor, then get the most out of your money by investing in timeless pieces that you can keep bringing to the table year after year and display around your home for the rest of it. These brass chickens are a great example; perfect for both the Easter table and year round on the country kitchen shelf.
