How to decorate an Easter table
A few styling considerations are needed before landing on your broader Easter decorations. Choosing the base of your Easter table decor first helps plan out your setting, and means you're prepared for the smaller details later on.
Pick a theme & colour palette
Whether your festivities are centred around kids or the best friends in your life, colour palettes help determine the festive mood:
- Classic pastel: Perfect for both ladies’ lunches and childrens’ Easter mornings, this palette includes hues like soft pink, lavender, baby blue and mint.
- Modern minimalist: A softer, sensory start to Easter. Think white, warm, grey, terracotta and sage.
- Rustic/cottagecore: Keen to delve into the Easter bunny’s burrow? Earthy tones like cream, moss green, chocolate and dusty rose will take you there.
- Kid’s time: Brighten your Easter table decor with fun, playful colours like yellow, coral, sky blue and grass green.
- Hanging branches: For a statement centrepiece like this, white, blush, gold and deep green help to set the scene.
Make a statement with a centrepiece
At the heart of Easter table setting ideas are centrepieces. Bold, intentional and eye-catching – your centerpiece can spark your little one's imagination and inspire conversation around the table. And this component of Easter dining table decor isn’t the place for restraint! Whether you’re going for dramatic or dreamy, centrepieces like floral arrangements, Cake Stands stacked high with hot cross buns or atmospheric Bunny Candles can help tell a story.
Easter Table Themes & Decorating Ideas
Now you’ve decided on your Easter table decor foundations, you can get creative with the theme. At Adairs we know every interior decision is important – so we’ve created 5 beautiful Easter table setting ideas for you. Let’s explore the key elements like tableware and tablecloths, alongside helpful tips for pulling off each table perfectly.
Classic Pastel Easter Tablescape
A winner every time, pastel is a timeless and iconic colourway for Easter that suits all ages. Hues include soft pink, lavender, baby blue and mint.
- Tablecloth: Set the tone with seasonal and cheerful motifs like Easter Rose, Burgundy & Nordic Blue tablecloth.
- Tableware: Layer in crockery like the Easter Rose & Burgundy or Easter Fern & Nordic Blue plates. If setting your Easter dining table decor for breakfast or brunch, mix and match the Easter Fern & Nordic Blue and Easter Rose and Burgundy mugs!
- Decorations: Seasonal Easter Daisies or Sedum flowers pair beautifully with pastel arrangements. Add Easter Bunny Natural Decorations Set of 3 around the base for some extra festivity.
Modern & Minimalist Easter Table
Intentional and purposefully paired back, the minimalist theme is perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Think stones, sage, white and warm grey.
- Tablecloth: Understated textures like Mayfair Natural & White Trim Linen Tablecloth let conversations be the star.
- Tableware: Opt for neutral tones like Fleur Coconut Dip Bowl or the Bunny Hop White Bowl if you’re seeking a touch of festiveness.
- Decorations: Keep things pared-back with subtle, less-is-more nods to Easter like the Bunny Hop White Napkin Ring. For a statement centrepiece, opt for complimentary tones like the Ripple Pecan Bowl.
Rustic / Cottagecore Easter Table
This theme lets adults and kids alike escape into Easter. Whimsical while still on the softer-hued side, Easter table decor here includes cream, moss green, warm brown and dusty rose.
- Tablecloth: Relaxed, organic materials work well here. Layer in the Bowie White Table Runner for added natural textures.
- Tableware: Floral motifs like the Camille Melamine Rose Floral Dinner Bowl keep the theme inspired, especially if you’re dining outside! Keep your tableware bright with organic materials like the Clementine Natural Bread Basket.
- Decorations: Again, opt for warm and natural elements such as twine-wrapped eggs. Candles can also help anchor the theme as the centrepiece.
Kid-Friendly & Colourful Easter Table
Fun, inclusive and playful – create a table your kids will remember. This one’s all about the magic of Easter, so don’t overthink it and definitely don’t hold back! Go with bright yellows, coral, sky blue and grass green.
Tablecloth: Fun, bright tones like the Camille Rose Floral Tablecloth are ideal. Don’t worry about colour-clashing later on either – it’s all a part of the cheerful Easter table decor.
- Tableware: Relaxed and casual helps keep things kid-friendly. At each seat, you might like to place a themed treat like the Kids Blue or Pink Bunny Basket – perfect for easter egg hunts later on!
- Decorations: Let imaginations run wild with a delightful kids toy centrepiece like the Easter Duckling White Gingham Soft Toy. Activity sheets or colouring pages will help keep them occupied (and also act as handy placemats).
Hanging Branches Statement Centrepiece
Want to know how to create an Easter table with drama? A statement hanging centrepiece makes a talking point your guests won’t forget anytime soon. Let the hanging centrepiece guide the rest of your tablescape.
- Tablecloth: If opting for natural tones like eucalyptus, choose natural organic fabrics for the table. If you’re using colourful florals like seasonal Sweet Peas, incorporate colour into the setting.
- Tableware: Polished plateware like the Frill Burgundy Stripe Plate helps create balance between the centrepiece and table.
- Decorations: Style an anchor underneath the hanging centrepiece like the Bunny Gold Large Statue. This makes for an editorial Easter dinner party setting that guests will want to photograph before sitting down.
