| Decorating for the Easter season |

Easter is a season of celebration and togetherness, an opportune moment for families to spend time together.
A great way to enjoy the season is to get creative and make some Easter crafts and decorations together.
When decorating for Easter, there are many varieties of designs and not just basic Easter eggs and Easter bunnies.
Instead, you may choose to decorate your house with style in classic spring colours that add a modern flair. Consider the following Easter decorating ideas:
Palm leaves are significant during Easter but you can also use materials such as wicker, bamboo, or teak. A potted palm will provide beauty and a tropical look in ceramic vases or pots.
Framed palm leaves would work or textured lamps and ceiling high palm leaves, painted bamboo furniture and a lattice motif mirror, or a vibrant tropical wallpaper in the backdrop of a piece of artwork and leafy carpeting, lighting, and a centrepiece décor would work wonderfully as a Easter design.
Tropical plant leaves in a vase, a woven pendant light, palm leaf ceiling fans, bamboo chairs, and a fruit bowl are also great options.
One of the best ways to liven up your home is to fill it with flowers. Fresh flowers will only provide fragrance and beauty as well as create a festive atmosphere.
You can arrange them in a vase and display them around your house. Another cute idea would be to cut Easter flowers short and put them in egg cups.
Fresh cut yellow and pink flowers would be perfect for Easter. Tulips, hyacinth, and daffodils are especially appropriate. Roses, lilies, and other fragrant flowers will also ignite the Easter mood.
In addition to bunnies, consider decorating your interior with sculptured birds and bird nests. You can add decorative three-dimensional birds to flower arrangements for extra flair or display bird nests containing eggs or flowers as a symbol of Easter.
Instead of just colouring your Easter eggs in a solid colour, consider something more artistic. You can make multi-coloured eggs by dipping different sides in different colours or using different felt tip pens.
If you dye them a solid colour, consider dying them a unique shade, which will complement the colour scheme of your décor such as gold, turquoise, eggplant, burgundy, silver, or magenta.
Consider using ostrich eggs for added drama. For more glitz, use glitter, tiny mirrors, metallic paint, or sequins for decorating. You can hang egg garlands over the front door and around the fireplace.
Candles create a warm and cosy atmosphere, go for coloured, scented ones as well as egg-shaped candles to add to your table’s centrepiece.
To add some Easter spirit to your decorating, consider placing elegantly wrapped chocolate Easter eggs in a tweed basket with a pink or bright coloured bow.
Not only will the decoration be appealing, it can cater to your sweet tooth as well.
You can also incorporate chocolate and pastel colours when laying the table for an Easter dinner or lunch.
