From simple designs to cool colours that will elevate your Easter tree
Decorating Easter eggs is a favourite springtime tradition that first originated in Germany. Whether you're styling an Easter tree or tablescape, there are plenty of creative ideas to give your eggs a glow-up.
For decorating, you'll need to either boil eggs or blow them out (this can be easily done by making small holes at both ends using a pin or cocktail stick to empty the contents). Both options work for decorating, but blowing is better for longer-lasting decorations. You can also buy wooden and ceramic eggs for painting too (try Amazon or Hobbycraft).
Painted Easter eggs are ideal to hang from Easter trees or a small cluster of branches. Shelley Cochrane, accessories buyer at Furniture Village, says: 'Easter decorating is all about playful touches and natural beauty. Consider hanging pretty decorative eggs from the branches to update your dining room for the bank holiday weekend.'
