This year, elevate your Easter celebration by referencing its earthy roots with rustic table settings that speak of nature's abundance alongside whimsical displays of organic ephemera and quirky curiosities

Earth Reborn

Easter means something different to each of us, but its universal themes of renewal, fertility, nature and the continuity of life remain a time-honoured cause for celebration with family and friends (and of course, to eat copious amounts of chocolate). The festival also ignites creativity: a beautifully set table, handmade crafts and conversation-starting displays bring a fresh, seasonal charm to your home. While bunnies and eggs the ancient customary symbols of Easter - will always have a place on the decorating checklist, the mood has turned from pastels and buntings to a more authentic, serene aesthetic inspired by natural curiosities, desaturated colours, personalised vignettes and the spirit of hunting and gathering.

Set the scene 

Following hot on the heels of Christmas, Easter is the next big festive holiday to gather family and friends around the table. Take the opportunity and express your creativity with nature as your muse.
