Country Treasures
It’s time to celebrate the start of a new season and make your rooms bloom by incorporating a bevy of bunnies, chicks and eggs into everyday arrangements.
Discover display ideas for musthave decorative accessories.
Sew Sweet!
Bring a sunny spot of spring to a mantel, shelf or table via a set of resin and stone spools topped with speckled eggs that pay tribute to the holiday. Position the pieces on a color-coordinated serving tray or platter and surround them with a base of natural or dyed excelsior. Enhance the scene by adding petite artificial daisies, forsythia or tulips around the spools to signal the arrival of balmy weather.
It’s Hip to Be Square
Perk up a dark cabinet with wood blocks featuring pastel hues and charming three-dimensional cutouts. Set the trio on a shelf flanked by petite baskets of eggs to create a simple focal point. Alternately, place one in each section of a three-tiered serving tray to amp up their presence as a countertop vignette. A small pitcher of posies, a jar full of jelly beans and other related decor are the perfect additions to fill out the arrangement.
Buckets in Bloom
Metal buckets of all shapes and sizes are versatile must-have accessories in any country home, and these galvanized metal examples adorned with adorable bunny and duckling artwork will complement any look. Place real or artificial plants and flowers in the buckets and then showcase the pair on a table or along a sunny windowsill. Or, hang each on a different door to offer a double dose of inviting style.
A Banner Day for Bunnies
Lend a whimsical touch to your home by draping this cheerful garland across a cupboard or mantel or along a staircase banister. Hang lightweight egg- or carrotshaped ornaments between the figures to provide even more pizzazz.
Hare-Raising Holder
Whether for its delightful decorative details or its functional appeal, this distressed, vintage-look bunny dish is sure to be a hit with guests at your Easter celebration. Put this character to use in the entryway as a serving piece for wrapped candies and colored eggs or as a ready receptacle to corral keys and mail.
Flower Power
Get a jump start on introducing florals indoors even before bulbs start sprouting outdoors with these artificial tulips in a planter. This beautiful bunch can play the starring role as a lively tabletop centerpiece or be flanked by other complementary fare such as cute rabbit, lamb or duckling figures.
Rise and Shine
Gather a trio of primitive peeps in a vintage bowl or a spare plant saucer to give your room a wake-up call. Simply swap out the container’s contents and the surrounding decor to match each season, and these affable chicks will have year-round appeal.
