Easter feels like a deep breath of fresh air. The soft colors. The new blooms. The way the light stays a little longer in the evenings. For me, Easter has always been about more than baskets, candy, and cute decor. At its heart, Easter is about the resurrection. It is about hope, new life, and the reminder that even after the hardest seasons, beauty comes back.
That is what makes this time of year so special to bring into our homes.
I love decorating for Easter in a way that feels warm, simple, and a little bit nostalgic. Not trendy. Not overdone. Just thoughtful and collected. The kind of decor that feels like it has a story to tell.
My very favorite place to find Easter decor is secondhand. Thrift stores, antique shops, estate sales, and flea markets are full of hidden gems this time of year. Think ceramic bunnies with a little wear on their ears, pastel candy dishes, old egg cups, vintage planters, and yes, even beautiful hobnail glass in soft spring colors. These pieces have lived a life before. They have been part of someone else’s Easter, and I love getting to give them a new home.
The best part is you almost never find two of the same thing. Your home ends up feeling collected, not copied. And that is always my goal. I want my spaces to feel like a story, not a showroom.
When I am out hunting, I look for a few simple things. Bunny figurines are always a win. Vintage bowls and candy dishes are perfect for the kitchen or coffee table. Hobnail glass makes the prettiest vases and Easter candy containers. Old planters are beautiful filled with spring flowers. And anything with soft colors, eggs, or sweet little spring details usually comes home with me.
Now, let’s be honest. Some days you hunt and hunt and still come home empty handed. That is where retail can really help. This year, I put together an Amazon idea list full of vintage inspired nostalgic finds. These are not modern, trendy pieces. They are the kind of decor that looks like it could have been passed down, even though it is brand new.
On that list, you will find things like classic bunny figurines, soft pastel table linens, egg garlands, wreaths, and even vintage-style glass pieces that give that same hobnail look without the hunt. This is my favorite way to decorate. I love pairing a thrifted ceramic bunny with a new, vintage-style wreath. Or setting a real vintage hobnail dish next to new, old-looking napkins. No one needs to know where it came from. It just needs to feel warm and welcoming.
I also like to keep Easter decor spread out and simple. A little bunny in the kitchen. A small bowl of eggs on the coffee table. A wreath on the door. You do not have to do everything in one room to make your home feel ready for the season.
And while I love making my home look pretty, I never want to forget what Easter is really about. This season is a celebration of the resurrection. Of hope. Of new beginnings. The flowers bloom again. The light comes back. And we are reminded that life wins.
So whether you find your treasures secondhand or shop my vintage inspired nostalgic finds on Amazon, let your home tell that story. Let it feel hopeful, gentle, and full of life. Because Easter is not just about cute decor. It is about celebrating new life in every way that matters. 🌷✝️🐰
