Scandinavian Easter Decorating
Posted by Kathi Forsberg on Apr 12th 2019
Easter is a holiday set during a wonderful time of year. With spring in the air and the promise of warm summer days ahead, celebrating this holiday of life is a true joy. In Scandinavian countries, Easter is welcomed with open arms. The promise of spring and warmer weather chasing away the darkness of winter inspires beautiful decorations, time spent with family and friends, and, of course, delicious spring-inspired foods.
If you are getting ready for the Easter season, make sure you check out these decorating tips, inspired by the beauty of Scandinavian traditions.
#1: Start With Fresh Flowers
One of the best ways to capture spring is by using fresh flowers in your decor. If you were to visit a home in a Scandinavian country during the Easter season, you would undoubtedly notice the beautiful use of fresh flowers throughout.
Flowers are the perfect Easter touch. Focus on ones that bloom in spring in your local area. From tulips to lilies, there are countless options for designing beautiful arrangements. Light pinks, bright whites, and rich yellows are excellent choices for this time of year. You can place arrangements all throughout your home — from your table’s centerpiece to your guest bathroom, scatter the natural beauty of flowers across your living space.
#2: Make Your Table A Place Of Joy
One of the biggest focal points of Easter decor should be your table. This is where family and friends gather to share meals and time with one another. Focus on creating a joyful table setting.
Pick out a bright Easter table runner to set the tone, or opt for a subtle earthen-colored tablecloth to let your decorations stand out. Add small pieces of decor to the table and make sure each place setting reflects the spring season. An Ekelund Happy Easter tea towel is a simple way to carry the theme through to the kitchen.
#3: Don’t Forget The Candles
In almost any Scandinavian home, you will find candles scattered in every corner. With their dark winters, it is no wonder they turn to the warmth and light of candles. As you decorate for Easter and welcome the return of spring, don’t forget to bring in an array of candles.
This decorative candle holder by Aarikka was hand painted and made in Finland. Adding a piece like this to your home helps tie all your Easter decor together with a truly Scandinavian touch, and an Easter pillar candle works well alongside it.
#4: Add A Whimsical Finish With Scandinavian Decor
Finally, as you place fresh flowers and candles throughout your home and focus on creating a table that welcomes your guests, don’t forget some whimsical Scandinavian decorations. Our Easter collection is the perfect place to start.
