1. Pretty Pastels
Mini Cocotte Sets of 4, R1799 | Le Creuset
Welcome the Easter weekend with the prettiest of pastel and autumn shades. Look out for crockery and ceramic finds featuring Easter designs, or textiles depicting the signs of autumn. Mix in a few pastel-coloured or floral pieces to plain white for a pretty table.
2. Add Small Touches
Fill large glass vases with hand-painted or hang glittery eggs as a centerpiece for a simple, yet effective way to add a seasonal touch.

3. Make It Extra Special
Hang painted eggs and decorations from a branch suspended above your dining table, weaving in strands of ivy. Wrap large chocolate eggs in fabric, tying at the top and adding a hand-stamped name tag for the lucky recipient. Go to town with paper decorations – honeycomb balls and crepe paper flowers add colour and style. Lastly, organise an egg hunt, handing out painted buckets and baskets trimmed with ribbon, or decorated fabric tote nags for the goodies.

4. Sweet Shelves
Introduce a few Easter touches to an all-white kitchen. Pick pieces in sugary shades to keep the look fresh.
5. Rabbits And More Rabbits
