With Easter fast approaching, it's a great time to start decorating your home for warmer weather. Whether you're hosting an elegant Easter dinner, planning an Easter party or preparing for a casual meal at home, the dining room table must be dressed for success. From colorful table runners and spring centerpieces to painted Easter eggs scattering the table, we've rounded up Easter table decor ideas that are guaranteed to impress your guests.
Try decorating your dining room table with blooming florals, pretty pastels and plenty of Easter-themed decor, like wooden egg name cards and bunny tail place settings. Keep it modern with white dinnerware paired with Easter flowers, bring in farmhouse elements like a nest place setting made from twigs or embrace traditional accents like pops of plaid and ceramic bunnies. Not to mention, many of these creative ideas double as easy Easter crafts. Hint: There's even a wreath centerpiece made from old egg cartons.
If you don't know where to begin, we suggest starting with the basics — dinnerware and utensils — and then choosing a color scheme for table linens, centerpieces and place settings. And if you're worried about a budget, many of these DIY Easter decorations repurpose items you already own (like old glass bottles) or require minimal spending (like grocery store flowers or Dollar Tree craft supplies). So go ahead, start scrolling to find an Easter tablescape you'll love recreating!
Repurpose an Egg Carton
Instead of throwing away paper egg cartons, turn them into a chic centerpiece. First, cut egg cups in groups of four and paint them a solid color (we suggest white). Arrange them into a circular wreath shape, then fill the cups with flowers, eggs or pastel-colored candies.

Real or faux, turn eggs into tabletop decor. A few ideas include painting guests' initials onto hard boiled eggs to act as a place setting and arranging dyed eggs onto candlestick holders.

Weave in Pretty Pinks
From the linen napkins used to the small plastic eggs scattering the table, this adorable setup is all about pretty pink accents.
Add a Pop of Plaid
Make a statement with a pastel plaid tablecloth, then keep it simple with place settings. This display features a solid light green plate with a treat-filled carrot cone and a few chocolate eggs.
Draw Inspo from Mother Nature
Take a stroll around town to collect some birch branches and recreate this nature-inspired place setting. These place card nests also have moss, pussy willows and faux quail eggs.
Keep It Modern and Minimal
If your aesethic strays neutral, keep it elegant with white and gray dinnerware and pops of rustic wood and fresh greens. For a subtle festive touch, add a wooden egg to each dinner plate.
Turn Veggies Into a Centerpiece
Seasonal produce — cabbage leaves, peas or root vegetables like carrots, radish and turnips — can act as decorative vases. Just use a rubber band to secure veggies around a glass jar, then add pretty ribbon to disguise the rubber band.
Start With Basics, Then Layer
This pretty spring arrangement has all of the essentials — like the beautiful pink dinnerware and rose gold silverware, plus elevated pieces like fresh flowers, bunny ear napkins and gold-handled marble trays.

Here's proof you don't need to spend much money on a centerpiece. These old milk bottles look striking filled with a mix of blooms, from roses to peonies.
Layer in Vintage Details

Fold Napkin Bunny Ears
Impress everyone at Easter brunch or dinner with these adorable bunny ear napkins. To create, fold a cloth napkin in half to make a triangle, then roll it into a long strip and fold it in half again. Thread a pipe cleaner through a bead and secure it around the napkin, then insert 3" pipe cleaners through the beads to resemble whiskers.

Bring in Bright Hues
Set the table with a floral tablecloth, then decorate with mix-matched dishes and vases. Don't forget the fresh blooms to add another pop of color.
Make a Wood Table Runner
With rectangle wood pieces and yellow spray (plus a drop cloth to cover your work station), you can recreate this sunny table runner. Just give the pieces plenty of time to dry before arranging them in your desired pattern.
Don't Shy Away From Artificial Flowers
As much as we love fresh florals, sometimes artificial stems are the way to go — especially if you'd like this pretty table runner to last all spring.
Create Bunny Tail Place Settings
To recreate this playful place setting, write your guest's name on a cardstock circle in bold letters. Glue on a pom-pom for the bunny tail and criss-cross two pampas stems to act as bunny ears.
Fill the Table With Potted Blooms
Plant flowers bulbs — like daffodils, hyacinths and tulips — into small and large pots. Allow them to grow, then turn them into tabletop decor — they'll become the talk of your Easter dinner party.
Organize by Color
Whether you're dyeing Easter eggs or preparing for Easter dinner, we're loving this rainbow setup. Arrange decor, like dyed eggs, cake stands and bunnies, by like colors.
Stack Potted Plants
Here, houseplants — a mix of herbs, grasses and greens — act as dining room table decor. Arrange them on and around a two-tiered tray for instant style.
Rely on Fresh Florals
To save money, make your own arrangements with grocery store flowers. Before you start shopping, settle on a color scheme (this blogger goes for purple and white) and don't forget to pick up plenty of filler greens.
