If you\u2019ve been a ready for awhile, you know me well enough to know that I love seasonal d\u00e9cor\u2026and yet, I approach it a little differently! \u00a0You aren\u2019t likely to find me buying a cart full of d\u00e9cor for spring, or for any season, really. \u00a0However, I do love to use neutral Easter decorations<\/strong> to create a festive and beautiful look in our home for the holiday. \u00a0I also love adding vintage Easter decorations for charm and character!<\/strong><\/p>\n Even though I tend to use the same items for many years, styling them a little differently as my tastes evolve, I usually stick with seasonal basics. \u00a0Often, Easter d\u00e9cor can be bright, playful, and oh-so-cheerful. \u00a0However, I prefer a softer approach to the season when it comes to our Easter home decorations.<\/p>\n Sidenote<\/em>: This isn\u2019t to say that a kids\u2019 Easter party won\u2019t be full of color\u2026it always is!\u00a0 I actually love decorating for kids\u2019 parties and our sweet Addy\u2019s 1st birthday was all Peter Cottontail!\u00a0<\/strong> She was born on Good Friday and her nursery was decorated in bunnies.\u00a0 So I have a really soft spot for all the fun color of the kids d\u00e9cor!<\/em><\/p>\n You can see one of my favorite Easter tablescapes of all time HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, full of Easter color and fun!<\/p>\n I\u2019ll save that for another post, but here is a glimpse of the sweetest birthday party!\u00a0 It was definitely my favorite that I\u2019ve ever done!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7393-scaled.jpg” alt=”adorable baby Addy in a wheelbarrow with a sign that says %22somebunny is one!%22″ title_text=”IMG_7393″ admin_label=”IMG birthday Addy” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_7324-scaled.jpg” alt=”food arranged in flower pots with little garden tags” title_text=”IMG_7324″ admin_label=”IMG birthday food” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro – how can I decorate my house for spring” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I mean, how cute?! \u00a0Right?!<\/strong><\/p>\n However, back to home d\u00e9cor\u2026if we must.\u00a0 I could really get stuck on my children\u2019s baby pictures though!<\/p>\n For our home, I love to stick with neutrals and use vintage items to bring in texture and character to our home.<\/strong> \u00a0When it comes to a holiday like Easter, that could sound boring to some, I suppose. \u00a0However, I love how a neutral palette allows me to bring in a pop of color in a spring bouquet or pulling out colorful napkins for an Easter tabletop decor.<\/p>\n I think of Easter vignettes in two different ways. \u00a0There are more colorful, playful looks that I use for an Easter dinner or party. \u00a0At the same time, there are more neutral Easter decorations that I like to keep throughout our home for the spring season.<\/p>\n Neutrals are far from boring.<\/strong> \u00a0Actually, if done well, they are warm, inviting, and calming to the eye. \u00a0At the same time, I love a good challenge! \u00a0So, let\u2019s chat about some neutrals that you can easily use to achieve a festive look for the Easter celebrations with vintage treasures while still maintaining a cozy, warm environment for your home.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Easter-Neutrals-9-scaled.jpg” alt=”beautiful cement bunny rabbit in a vignette with a cement planter and a mortar and pestle” title_text=”Easter Neutrals (9)” admin_label=”IMG trencher with plant and laying rabbit” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”how do you decorate your house for easter – neutral must-haves” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Again, this is Easter-style decor that is going to stay in my house for a good portion of the spring season. \u00a0Therefore, I am using mostly neutral Easter decorations to keep a cozy and warm style that matches the aesthetic of our home.<\/p>\n Here are a few “must-haves” for me:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_1874-scaled.jpg” alt=”beautiful spring space with a large wooden cabinet styled with a plant, cloches and books” title_text=”IMG_1874″ url=”https:\/\/amzlink.to\/az0EzWqUTbJ37″ url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG back living room console metal bowl with eggs and plant.1874″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”how do you make your house cozy in the spring” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Using natural materials, mixing wood tones and soft colors, and using a mix of old and new<\/strong> is a great way to create cozy Easter and spring styles throughout your home. \u00a0I find most of my vintage treasures at yard sales, a stop at an antique mall, or even estate sales from time to time!<\/p>\n Here are a few ways I make our home cozy in the spring:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”BLOG TITLE” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_1695-scaled.jpg” alt=”beautiful living room with a sun hat gallery wall and a large arched wooden window on a chippy white mantel” title_text=”IMG_1695″ admin_label=”***IMG family room straight angle.1778″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”1.
