As Easter approaches, Janine Tanner, Visual Merchandising Manager at Robert Dyas, shares her expertise on how to create a visually stunning celebration. With decades of experience in decorating, she provides tips for both the home and garden.
According to Janine Tanner, creating a “springtime statement” tablescape is key to a perfect Easter home. She suggests using pastel colors, flowers, and lights to achieve this look.
Janine Tanner recommends laying down a pink dinnerware set (£28.99) and adding spring flowers to the table. For a cost-effective option, she suggests using faux flowers like Mica Fuchsia Poppies (£2.99) and Mica Salmon Dahlias (£3.99), which can be reused year after year.
Decorating the Garden
For a stunning centerpiece, Janine Tanner suggests placing garden twigs in a vase decorated with battery-powered lights (£14.99) and using twine (£3.99) to hang small painted eggs on the twigs.
She also recommends using the garden as an extra room for decorating, incorporating pastel colors and adding features like Sanctuary Hanging Baskets (£7.99) and 40cm Plant Pots (£15.99) around the garden.
Janine Tanner suggests adding colourful solar stake lights (£3.99) down the garden path, hanging solar lanterns (£6.99) on tree branches, and placing a cordless solar lamp (£5.99) on the outdoor table to create a warm evening glow.
Additionally, Janine Tanner recommends creating quirky displays, such as using a small decorative watering can as a planter, like the leaf-patterned Smart Garden Plantercan (£9.99), to give the garden a sense of individuality and personality.
Adding a Personal Touch
To give the garden a sense of individuality, Janine Tanner recommends creating quirky displays, such as using a small decorative watering can as a planter, like the leaf-patterned Smart Garden Plantercan (£9.99).
She also suggests using string lights, like the two-tone Eureka rechargeable string lights (£9.99), to wind around tree trunks and transform the garden into an Easter sanctuary.
For a cozy touch, Janine Tanner recommends adding a pastel green Furn. Harrow Fleece Throw (£16.99) and a Shadow Diffusion Tabletop Patio Heater (£90.99) to keep warm on chilly spring evenings.
Easter Kerb Appeal
When it comes to adding Easter kerb appeal, Janine Tanner suggests placing a spring wreath (£46.99) on the front door to add instant charm.
Even with limited outdoor space, she recommends bringing Easter outside with pastel solar lanterns (£6.99) and string lights in sealed jars, like the rechargeable multi-coloured string lights (£14.99).
For kids’ rooms, Janine Tanner suggests using wicker baskets, like the JVL Seagrass Storage Basket (£14.99), to store Easter goodies and adding a soft Easter-themed toy, like the Cuddle Crew 50cm Bunnies (£12.99).
The decor in kids’ rooms can often be a challenge to incorporate into a curated home aesthetic, but with a few simple tips and tricks, it can be easily achieved. By opting for neutral colors and natural textures, such as wicker and wood, parents can create a cohesive and stylish look that complements the rest of the home.
