How to decorate the Easter table? feel the festivities in your home
Even if you only sit down at the Easter table with your family, you want to feel the festive atmosphere and take your mind off everyday matters. It is therefore worth decorating this piece of furniture so that it pleases the eyes and makes each dish look more appetising. Below, we share some inspiration that you may find useful when choosing tableware and decorations for your Easter table.
Each of us celebrates Easter in our own way. Some invite a large family to their home, and the smell of homemade sour soup, horseradish and white sausage comes from their kitchen. Others spend the time with a handful of close friends and instead of traditional festive dishes, serve modern variations on them. Regardless of who gathers around our Easter table, we want to make the feast unforgettable. We suggest dishes and decorations that will bring a joyful atmosphere of warmth and intimacy to the dining room or living room.
CHEERFUL COLOURS ON THE EASTER TABLE
Easter coincides with the beginning of spring, when nature shyly awakens to life. When decorating the Easter table, it is therefore worth opting for soft pastels. Each dish will look great against the discreet background created by tableware and accessories in subtle shades of yellow, green, blue, pink, beige or warm white. These can be freely combined, as it is difficult to be flashy or obtrusive here. Eye-catching colours should then be reserved for richly decorated Easter eggs and bouquets of fresh cut flowers.
To emphasise the cheerful atmosphere associated with the Easter season, we can also smuggle in vivid colours with more decisive accents. The style of the Easter table will be determined by the colourful tableware, which will be matched with matching accessories. When deciding on clear, dominant shades, it is worth taking inspiration from the living room or dining room décor. Then the decoration of the Easter table will harmoniously match the overall interior design.
TABLECLOTH AND TABLEWARE - THE BASIS FOR YOUR EASTER DECORATIONS
When preparing for a festive Easter breakfast, we usually already have a large table and comfortable chairs waiting for our guests. So it remains for us to decorate the table top to encourage carefree feasting. The best way to start decorating is by choosing a table runner, which will give the whole arrangement a certain character. The fabric can wrap around the entire top of the piece of furniture, protecting it from accidental splashes of sour soup, or run right down the middle, making room for cake trays and other dishes. A tablecloth made of natural cotton or linen will help to bring in a homely atmosphere.
Instead of covering the Easter table in the traditional way, we can use handy cork coasters. Multifunctional trays in the form of Mano boards made of noble elm wood will also look interesting on the tabletop, warming up the décor. To give the arrangement a casual feel, we can dispense with coasters altogether and place the plates directly on the table. In this case, the background for all decorations can be a unique table top from the Creative collection. When composing your dream table, you can choose from over a dozen colours, which will form the basis for further arrangements.
The festive season calls for festive tableware. Even if you don't use elaborate sets on a daily basis, this is a good time to reach for coherent, thoughtful table settings. Simple, plain crockery from the Samto collection will allow us to achieve a universal decoration. Grey ceramic plates and platters will be suitable not only for Easter, but also for Christmas and other special occasions. If you want to surprise your guests with an unusual detail, opt for the equally multifaceted Motif collection with its subtle three-dimensional decoration.
However, elegant white tableware is not a must-have on the Easter table. Liven up the arrangement with charming stoneware dishes decorated with delicate dots. A cheerfully decorated spread can also be served on the unusual Deep Blue porcelain plates. Add a touch of lightness to the whole look with Splendour glasses and Pure carafe made of transparent glass, in which to serve wine or water, as well as sparkling cutlery. And let's not forget the napkins for your guests, which will come in handy when they are ready to eat another helping of eggs with mayonnaise. If you choose fabric ones with an interesting texture, they will delight both the sense of sight and touch.
EASTER EGGS, BUNNIES AND OTHER TRADITIONAL DECORATIONS FOR EASTER
Once you have chosen your tablecloth and tableware, it is time to decorate your Easter table accordingly. There should be no shortage of decorations to emphasise the special character of this holiday. Amidst the platters of aromatic dishes, there should be room for chocolate bunnies, sugar lambs and colourful Easter eggs. It is best to decorate the eggs on the eve of the festive breakfast, providing original entertainment for all members of the household. An indispensable aid to creative creation will be the Luto metal bowl, which will allow all sides of the shells to dry evenly.
What else is worth putting on the Easter table? Spring can be effectively brought back with fluffy basil, displayed in a basket made of woven jute. A simple door decorations can also be made of flowering willow twigs tied with a bright ribbon or twine, which will put your guests in a festive mood from the very beginning. Mushroom-shaped ceramic figurines are also a perfect addition to even the most minimalist table decorations. Their charm will bring to mind walks in a spring forest, full of freshness and waking nature.
A BREATH OF SPRING ON THE EASTER TABLE
Since our home gardens are full of flowers around Easter, don't hesitate to bring them home with you. Sprigs of lilac, pinkish cherry and sunny forsythia will envelop the living room or dining room with a captivating fragrance and make a unique decoration. Dried flowers and boxwood sprigs will make an interesting addition to these ornaments. This colour-saving decoration will go perfectly with a wooden table top, linen tablecloth and cotton napkins.
If you live in the city centre, you don't have to give up on natural accents. You can go to the nearby flower market and pick out your dream bouquet of tulips for a festive celebration. Add a touch of springtime flair by placing plant arrangements in tinted glass vessels, which will catch the eye with their original shapes. The Gunnar vase will bring to mind the blue of the sky, while the Aura vase will bring to mind the lush green of the grass.
The awakening of nature should also be kept in mind when choosing snacks for the Easter table. Include lots of long-awaited new vegetables and multicoloured fruits, which in themselves are a vitamin-rich decoration.
A FESTIVE ATMOSPHERE THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE
It is important to ensure that the festive atmosphere in your home continues after you leave the table. Whether you're inviting guests or spending the holidays with just the family, it's a good idea to take a moment to decorate your four corners of the house.
Easter is an opportune time to remember the cushions and blankets in vibrant colours that will make an evening family board game more enjoyable after a day full of feasting. On the dresser in the hallway, arrange the Easter eggs that didn't fit on the festive table, and place a small vase of daffodils on the bedside table. It's hard to have a more optimistic view before bedtime, which, in the festive season, won't be interrupted by the sharp sound of the alarm clock. It is advisable to decorate your home for Easter a few days before the holiday in order to put yourself in a positive frame of mind for the well-deserved break from everyday duties.
As the magic of the holidays is best experienced when celebrating with family and friends, it is important to give careful thought to all elements of the setting. Place delicious dishes on elegant crockery and between the platters place vases of fresh flowers, the enchanting scent of which will mingle with the aroma of the food. Remember, however, that the most important thing at Christmas is you and your needs. If you prefer to relax in a more casual setting, place your favourite snacks on the table and let yourself relax without worrying about the details.
