EASTER DECORATING: EMBRACING THE COLORS OF SPRING

With Easter only a few days away, now is the perfect moment to refresh your home with the colors, textures, and spirit of spring. Whether you’re hosting guests or simply enjoying the change of season, Easter decorating is all about embracing color, softness, and that unmistakable feeling of renewal. Let’s take a look at the meaning behind traditional Easter colors and how to style them in your home.

Why do Easter colors matter?

Whether you follow religious traditions or simply love the freshness of spring home decor, color plays a huge role in setting the mood. From pastel pinks to buttery yellows and soft greens, traditionally Easter color are connected to symbols of rebirth, hope, and nature’s awakening and are chosen to reflect springtime blooms, and a sense of peace and purity.

The classic Easter colors

Curious why certain colors always show up around Easter? Here’s what they mean and how to use them.

Yellow

Symbolizing light, optimism, and sunshine, yellow is perfect for Easter styling. Try yellow floral arrangements (daffodils, tulips, ranunculus, or mimosa) to add warmth to your Easter decor, or even dye eggs in this cheerful color to brighten up your festive table.

Pink

Usually linked to love, and femininity, pink adds a soft, warm touch. Use it for candles, tableware, or ribbon accents for a spring vibe.

Green

Green represents renewal and nature. It’s an anchor color that balances out the sweeter tones. Add some eucalyptus, soft moss, or even green glass to bring in a fresh spring feeling.

Lavender and lilac

Soft purples like lavender and lilac feel calm and peaceful—just like the spring flowers they’re named after. Use these colors in tablecloths, or with a few pretty candles

White

Symbolizing purity and simplicity, white helps ground the palette and keep things from feeling too sugary. Layer whites with natural textures like linen or woven baskets for a modern feel.

No matter your style, I’ve got a few easy decorating ideas you can try at home.

• Layer the table with linens in pastel shades, then add ceramic/wooden bunnies for a charming touch
• Create a spring centerpiece with daffodils, or tulips in a vase or pitcher
• Decorate a shelf or console with dyed eggs, candlesticks, and seasonal prints
• Swap out cushion covers or throws in sage tones to breathe new life into your living space

Easter home styling doesn’t have to be fussy or over-the-top. Work with classic Easter colors and focus on light, cheerful elements and you can easily create a space that feels fresh, welcoming, and ready for the holidays. Small changes can bring in an unmistakable sense of springtime joy.

Wishing you a joyful and beautifully decorated Easter,
