Lawn Displays and Easter Bunny Statues
- A life-size Easter bunny statue is a great focal point and kids will just love it
- Make sure you secure any stakes or decorations to keep them from getting blown over in the wind
- Consider adding some spotlights to make your display shine in the evening
Porch and Door Decor with Easter Wreaths

Spring Porch Decor
Your porch is the perfect place to set the tone for the rest of your home. If you want to leave your decorations up a bit longer than Easter, ditch the bunnies and go for a general spring look instead.
Start by hanging a bright wreath on your front door – try using some artificial flowers, hydrangeas or eucalyptus for a fresh look. Add some greenery with potted plants or a spring-themed doormat. Easy and simple, but big impact.
