It is so traditional among our Slavic people that we pay more attention to preparing a variety of pickles, and, unfortunately, we forget about decorating the house. Many people think this is a troublesome task, which also leads to additional material costs.

Important! Let's clarify one main feature - the color scheme of the decor. It should be dominated by light tones of yellow, green, red and blue, but also, naturally, white.
The Easter holiday comes to us every year in the spring, when the first buds awaken on the trees, and the first sprouts of spring flowers push out from under the frozen ground. Awakening in nature is inextricably linked with the awakening of something bright and beautiful. Therefore, we will start decorating our house from the windows.

You can grow them yourself. To do this, you need to take a few daffodil bulbs, for example, pale yellow in color, and place them in a shallow glass container.
The ideal solution is to use small pebbles as soil and pour a little water into the pan. The first green sprouts will appear to you already on the 5-6th day. In just 6 weeks, your windowsill will be decorated with beautiful blooming daffodils.
In addition to daffodils, the windowsill can also be decorated with other flowers - lilies of the valley, tulips, indoor daisies, etc.
Important! If you really want to decorate your home in an interesting and original way for Easter, then you need to prepare for this event in advance. For example, from the day of Great Lent. Everything needs to be thought out well down to the smallest detail. Stock up on ribbons, lace, eggshells, plaster, paraffin and incense. This will allow you to unload yourself in the last week of Lent and calmly begin decorating the interior.
The holiday should begin from the very threshold of the house. Therefore, it would not be superfluous to decorate the front door with an original composition of flowering plants and Easter eggs. This kind of installation can create a special festive atmosphere not only in the house, but also around it.
A homemade Easter tree will become a magnificent holiday decoration in the interior of your home, the main component of the decor. Moreover, you can involve children in the work process.

Or you don’t have to paint anything, or even paste it over. Simply, draw beautiful faces on the white shells of eggs with an ordinary felt-tip pen.
Running eyes can be purchased at any office supply store. Glue them onto the shell and place the eggs in an original way in a beautiful tray.
An equally important decorative element is decorative Easter baskets, which you can give to your friends and acquaintances as a symbolic souvenir. You can make them yourself from scrap materials and for this you will need:

These are the Easter baskets you will get as a result. You can safely entrust this process to your children - believe me, they have a rich imagination.
