Spring is that time of year when everything wakes up. Flowers stretch, birds sing, and we suddenly remember we’ve stored half our home in boxes all winter. Easter gives us a reason to pull things out, freshen up, and let lightness in.

I’ll show you loads of clever, beautiful ways to decoration with bunnies for Spring & Easter. We’ll cover how to style them in different rooms, ideas you can DIY, ideas you can buy, how to avoid overdecorating, and tips to make it all feel meaningful (not tacky).

Decorating with Bunnies

Living Room

Start with the mantel or fireplace. Place one or two statement bunnies there maybe a wood carved one, or a rabbit silhouette in metal. Add in blooms (fresh or faux) and fresh greenery. If you have shelves, tuck small bunny figurines in among books or vases. Swap throw pillows to include bunny patterns or textures (fur, knit, felt).

Don’t forget lighting: place fairy lights behind or around bunny figurines so when evening comes, they glow softly. This gives warmth as spring evenings linger.

Entryway & Front Door

Your entry sets the mood. Hang a wreath with bunny ears, moss, or dried florals. A door mat with a bunny design or message (“Welcome Bunny”) adds charm without being overbearing. On a console table, set a large decorative rabbit by a lantern and seasonal branches.

For outdoor spaces (porch, garden path), use rustic bunny stakes or stone rabbit sculptures. If your climate allows, you can plant potted spring flowers (tulips, daffodils) around or beside bunny figures.

Dining Room & Table Settings

Use bunny napkin folds like folding napkins into ear shapes around a ribbon or ring, maybe placing a small egg or sprig. For a centerpiece, a group of bunnies in different materials (one ceramic, one wood, one wire mesh) surrounded by low flowers or greenery works beautifully.

Use table runners or placemats with subtle bunny patterns say, a linen runner with rabbit silhouettes or woven texture. Candles in bunny-shaped holders or simple pillars placed among decor add mood. If you have outdoors light coming in, reflect that with mirrored trays or metallic accents around the bunnies.

Kitchen & Shelves

In the kitchen, display bunny figurines on open shelves or counter corners. Use bunny motif tea towels, oven mitts, or mugs. Make bunny-themed utensil holders or utensil rests. If you have a windowsill, you can line up small ceramic or wooden bunnies, maybe with small potted herbs or succulents.

Bookshelves or display cabinets are great for mixing bunny decor with books, pottery, plants. Vary height and material so the display feels balanced (not “everything is pastel ceramic”).

Bedroom & Bathrooms

In bedrooms, bunny motifs in pillow covers, lamp bases, wall art are nice. Keep color softer to make it restful. Maybe one bunny piece per shelf or dresser; use natural elements (wood, linen, plants) so it doesn’t feel like a child’s room (unless that’s your style).

Bathrooms are fun: bunny soap dishes, towels, shower curtain details. If you have a mirror, you can hang small bunny ears on the mirror’s frame for a cute touch. Even just bunny decals or a framed print can do wonders without taking much space.

Outdoors, Garden & Porch Ideas

Garden is often underused. Place stone or concrete rabbit statues among flowers. Use bunny silhouettes or iron cut-out rabbits as garden stakes. Hang outdoor lanterns shaped like rabbits or with cut-out shapes that cast bunny shadows. For the porch, add a bench or chair with a bunny-print cushion or bunny shaped hay bale and flowers.

If you have children (or like whimsical), you could set up a tiny “bunny home” in a planter little house, carrots, moss, and a bunny figurine. Use solar lights for evening glow.

DIY & Budget Friendly Bunny Decoration

Thrifted Materials

Look for rabbit figurines at thrift shops. Repaint them using chalk paint or spray paint to match your scheme. Use old wood scraps to carve or outline bunny silhouettes. Reuse ceramics by adding details (ears, tails) using craft materials.

Create Textural Elements

Felt bunny shapes as garlands. Burlap bunny cut-outs for pillows or placemats. Knit or crochet small bunny shapes. Use moss or greenery to cover bunny forms (like moss-covered standing rabbit figures) for a natural, slightly wild look.

Lighting & Scents

Make a lantern with bunny cut out panels or stencil rabbits onto jar lids and use candles inside for glowing silhouettes. Craft scented sachets shaped like bunny ears stuffed with lavender or dried herbs. Use scented candles near bunny displays (e.g. vanilla, fresh linen, floral) to add an extra sensory layer.

Upcycling & Seasonal Reuse

Use last year’s decor but restyle it. Move bunny items from one room to another to give them fresh feel. Store seasonal elements in labelled bins so they stay in good shape. Compost natural items (flowers, herbs) when done rather than throwing them away.

Color, Material & Style Tips to Keep It Fresh

Color Schemes

Pastels are safe and classic, but you can also go bolder. Try mint green + white + a pop of lemon yellow; navy + white + soft grey with metallic rabbit accents; terracotta or rust tones + wood + neutral rabbits; even monochrome schemes (all white or all grey bunnies) for elegant minimalism.

Material Mix

Ceramics give polish. Wood gives warmth. Rattan or wicker gives texture. Metal adds sheen. Felt or fabric adds softness. Stone gives solidity. Combine materials to add richness: a metal rabbit mixed with wooden carrots and soft linen or fabric pieces makes the decor feel layered.

Style Matching

If your home is modern minimalist, choose clean lines, maybe wire frame rabbits, silhouettes, neutral tones. If farmhouse/cottage, rustic wood, soft pastel, slightly distressed finishes work. For boho, rabbits with woven textures, bright colors, fringe or macrame. Tropical? Try bold leaves around rabbit decor, tropical flowers, painted rabbits in bright hues.

How to Avoid Overdecorating

Pick a few anchor pieces (maybe 2-3) rather than covering every surface.
Use “less is more” in personal or sleeping spaces so your decor doesn’t overwhelm calm.
Let negative space breathe: empty shelves or corners matter. A lone rabbit figurine on a large shelf has more impact than many cramped together.
Match scale: small bunnies for small tables; bigger ones for big focal points.
Use consistent tone: if ceramics are glossy, avoid mixing with rough wood unless deliberate contrast; if your color palette is muted, avoid one neon piece unless it’s a feature.

Decorating Timeline & Practical Tips

Timeframe	Task	Practical Tips
3+ Months Ahead	Establish a vision and budget	Gather inspiration from design magazines, Pinterest, and home decor blogs. Create a mood board to visualize your desired style, color palette, and textures. Determine a realistic budget, including a 10–15% contingency for unexpected costs.
	Measure the space	Get accurate measurements of the room, including walls, windows, and doorways. This is crucial for planning furniture placement and ordering materials.
	Hire professionals (if needed)	If your project involves structural changes, extensive painting, or custom work, start getting quotes from contractors, interior designers, or decorators.
1–2 Months Ahead	Plan the layout and furniture	Use a floor plan to arrange furniture virtually. Use painter’s tape on the floor to visualize the scale of larger items and how they fit in the room. Order large furniture pieces that may have long lead times.
	Choose colors and materials	Test paint colors by painting large swatches on different walls to see how the light affects them throughout the day. Obtain samples of flooring, fabrics, and other materials to see how they look in your space.
	Declutter and prep	Empty the room of non-essential items and sort what you want to keep, donate, or sell. This provides a fresh start and prevents you from having to move items repeatedly later on.
3–4 Weeks Ahead	DIY projects and purchases	For DIY projects like refinishing furniture, start now. Purchase paint, primer, and any tools you’ll need. Make a list of smaller decor items to buy, such as pillows, throws, and decorative objects.
	Finalize orders	Place final orders for window treatments, rugs, lighting, and art. These items can take a few weeks to arrive.
	Schedule contractors	Confirm the start dates for any professional work, like painting or flooring installation.
1–2 Weeks Ahead	Prepare the room	Remove all remaining furniture, fixtures, and outlet covers. Lay down drop cloths to protect your floors. If you hired painters, clear the area completely for them.
	Start painting	Begin with the ceiling, then the walls, and finish with the trim. It’s often helpful to do multiple, thinner coats rather than one thick one.
The Week Of	Install flooring and major furniture	If you’re installing new flooring, do so before moving furniture back in. Assemble and place large furniture items, like sofas and bookshelves.
	Hang fixtures and window treatments	Install curtain rods, blinds, and light fixtures. Make sure your window treatments are hung at a height that makes the room feel taller and more open.
	Add the “jewels”	Bring in your decor items, art, and accessories. This is where your personal style really comes through.
Final Touches	Style and accessorize	Think in odd numbers and varying heights when arranging decor on tables and shelves. Add plants to bring life and positive energy into the space.
	The “walk-through”	Step back and look at the room from different angles. Make small adjustments to create balance and flow. Leave a coffee table book open instead of stacked to create a lived-in feel.
	Relax and enjoy	Your hard work is done! Take time to appreciate your new, personalized space.

Early Spring (before Easter): Start small. Introduce greenery, fresh flowers, maybe a wreath, a few bunny pieces in visible spots like entryway or mantel.
2-3 Weeks before Easter: Bring in more festive touches: table decor, bunny napkins, yard or porch decorations.
Around Easter Week: Let the decor peak: centered pieces, maybe arrange an Easter basket display, hang decorations, change lighting for evenings.
After Easter: Remove overtly “Easter” pieces (“Happy Easter” signs, etc.), but keep bunny elements that work with spring. Refresh flowers, simplify.

Why Bunny Decor Feels So Appealing

Bunnies symbolize renewal, gentleness, playfulness things many of us want during Spring. Decorating with bunnies taps into nostalgia (childhood Easter egg hunts), nature (wild rabbits, gardens), and celebration. It’s not just about the visuals scent, light, texture all combine to make you feel spring.

Also, decorating with bunnies can encourage small rituals: gathering flowers, arranging them, adjusting decor. These small acts can bring mindfulness and joy.
