How To Style An Easter Vignette In 5 Easy Steps

Does it seem like this year is going by at warp speed? I would swear the calendar just said January. Then I blinked, and here we are, a month away from Easter!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. And while I don’t go crazy with holiday-specific decor, I do like to add a few simple Easter-inspired touches to our home to celebrate the season.

So, if you are looking for some Easter decorating ideas, read on to learn how to style a vignette in just 5 quick and easy steps.

Step 1: Start With An Inspiration Piece

Regardless of what I am styling in my home I always like to start with an inspiration piece.

When I think about Easter, I instantly think about bunnies. So these DIY faux stone bunnies were the perfect starting point for creating my vignette.

One of my all-time favorite projects, they are an affordable dupe of these popular brand-name rabbits. And who doesn’t love a good look-alike?

After I decide on the bunnies, I chose a mix of vintage and thrifted finds, along with a few everyday pieces to create a springtime look.

Easter Vignette Decor

• Woven tray
• Glass cloche
• Thrifted books
• Faux fern
• Antique postcards
• Birdnest with eggs

These are just a few suggestions of what I used to style my vignette, but of course, choose what you love!

As a blogger, the pressure to share the latest and greatest decor trends each season can feel like a bit much. But I’m proud to say I created this vignette entirely with things I already had at home.

I didn’t spend one. single. penny.

So don’t feel like you need to rush out and buy all new things. Get creative and find ways to repurpose what you have.

Just remember, when you are choosing items, it helps to think about a theme. If you feel stuck, use your inspiration item(s) as a guide and pick pieces with similar colors; so your decor looks cohesive and tells a story.

Step 2: Anchor Your Vignette With A Base

When I style a vignette, I like to start with a base that serves as the anchor for the grouping.

You can use a woven basket like me, but if you don’t have one don’t worry! My number one tip is to shop your home first. You might be surprised by what you find!

Try swapping the basket out for an old wood crate, vintage dough bowl, chippy wood tray, or antique breadboard.

If all else fails, baskets like this one are very affordable. And they can be found just about anywhere.

If you’re looking to spend money on a few new home decor items, pieces like this that are versatile and can be used year-round are worth the investment.

Step 3: Add Some Spring Greenery

Greenery is a staple in my decor year-round, but especially in the spring and summer months.

After a long and gloomy Midwest winter, a bit of greenery is the perfect way to add a pop of color and bring some of the outdoors in.

Admittedly I don’t have the best track record when it comes to keeping houseplants alive, so I decide to use a faux fern for my Easter vignette. 

I snagged this beauty from Wayfair a while back. And although it is a bit of an investment, I love how realistic it looks.

I’ve also used it to create other displays, including this cottage-style summer vignette and this Italian-inspired tablescape centerpiece.

This fern is a perfect size for my vignette and fits nicely in the corner of my woven basket. If your green thumb is better than mine, you can replace faux greenery with a low-maintenance potted plant like pothos, jade, or a philodendron.

Step 4: Build Up The Height

For added depth and dimension in my vignettes, I like to use items of varying heights that help to draw your eyes up.

A stack of vintage books is one of my favorite hacks for adding a bit of “oomph” and visually increasing the height of a vignette.

On its own, my cloche is too short and feels lost in the bottom of the basket.

You can see how something simple, like a few books, makes a big difference. Not only do the books add some much-needed height, but the covers add color too.

Step 5: Add The Finishing Touches

Rember those bunnies I shared at the beginning of the post?

I didn’t forget about them!

Once the larger decor pieces were in place, I was ready to add the finishing touches to my Easter vignette.

I started by placing one of the bunnies under the cloche. The cloche felt empty with the bunny alone, so I used the rule of three to pair the bunny figurine with a few other items.

Keeping my theme and colors in mind, I added a small bird’s nest with white and green speckled eggs and several vintage postcards.

I love the combination together, which includes both old and new items. The postcards even have green stamps and tie in perfectly with the rest of the decor.

To finish my Easter vignette, I added one more sweet little bunny to fill an empty space near the front of my basket.

After I stepped back and looked at the finished vignette, I felt like the bunny was a bit too short.

So once again relied on of my favorite tricks for making something seem taller…these small sauce bowls.

My discovery of the bowls’ secondary use was purely accidental. While it was not how I originally planned to use them, they are the perfect size for adding height to smaller decor pieces when needed.

(Confession time. The bowls now get used more as decor than they do for dipping sauces at dinner.)

And the bonus? They stack easily, so I can use more than one until I find the look I like best.

I used two for my vignette to help the bunny stand taller in the basket. See how much better he looks?

And, unless you look down into the basket, you can’t even see the stacked bowls.

My Finished Easter Vignette

And that’s it! Those are my 5 simple to follow steps to style a vignette for Easter.

This is my finished display. I love the simplicity, and I look forward to leaving it out all spring long.

Here’s one more peek at the vignette in our living room. I can’t wait to share more of this space with you in the next few weeks as part of my annual spring home tour.

(I guess that means I better finish decorating!)
