Make your Easter cracking this year

Easter traditionally marks the start of spring and is a great time to add some life and personality to your home.  Here are our suggestions on how to bring the season into to your home in spring 2015.

Easter is a great excuse to add new colours to your home. The colours that are on trend for spring and summer 2015 are natural and cool colours. Washed-out aqua is a very on trend colour for interiors, it can brighten up and open up rooms, so it can be great for small rooms or rooms that get less light. Washed-out aqua is a relaxing and happy colour, perfect for a kitchen or somewhere to sit and enjoy a coffee.

Hague Blue is similar to navy and is another key colour for interiors this season. This colour goes perfectly with gold accessories or to make a feature wall and will instantly change any room.

Bring spring indoors by adding colour to your house with fresh flowers. White lilies are a popular flower to have in in your home or to give as a gift at Easter. Other popular flowers at Easter time are any that are white and yellow in colour, especially daffodils and tulips. Flowers that are in bloom at this time of year have a tendency to have a light and delicate scent. Whichever flowers you choose at Easter, you are certain to bring a hint of brightness and beauty into your home and remind yourself that we have said goodbye to winter.

Now you have brought this season’s colours and flowers to your home, why not show them off by hosting some guests. For the majority of people it is tradition to have a meal with friends and family on Easter Sunday, so we have pulled together some ideas for hosting an Easter-themed brunch.

Add a splash of colour to your table with a bright coloured or gingham patterned tablecloths. If you are feeling crafty go to your local arts and crafts shop, where you should be able to pick up things like feathers, decorative eggs and twigs which will all add to the Easter theme.

It’s time to think about food, eggs are great for a simple brunch dish. The easiest and quickest way to serve eggs is to scramble them; you could also add smoked salmon or ham. If you fancy trying something a little more challenging to impress your guests serve up Eggs Benedict.

Having something sweet to offer your guests after their meal, such as muffins or cakes is a great way finish off your brunch. We suggest making or buying, fruity flavoured muffins such as blueberry, or you could go for the classic Easter sweet treats, like hot cross buns and Simnel cake.
