Easter is a time to get together with family and friends, enjoy delicious food, and enjoy a little spring cleaning. After all those chocolate treats, it's nice to freshen up your home. There are many ways to brighten and beautify your space, depending on how much time you have (and how much money you have to spend).

Entertaining is about more than just the food for this holiday; you want your home to scream 'happy spring' and 'easy entertaining'. Here are ten tips from our team at Lewis to help you create a clean and modern vignette that's perfect for Easter, a celebration, or another special occasion.

1. Start with a clean slate: The first thing you'll want to do is tidy up, organize, and clean your home. If you have the time, start moving all your furniture into one room or area. Then sort it all out, throw-away items that you don't need or that are beyond repair, and get rid of old magazines, catalogs, newspapers, and other paper goods. Toss out or recycle things like broken toys and electronics or take them to your local donation center or charity. This will give you a clean blank canvas to work with so that anything you add is intentional, meaningful, and beautiful.

2. Clean out your garage

You may be saying, "I don't have a garage."

Your driveway, backyard, and front porch are also considered garages. So run to the store now and clear out those cobwebs and weeds, or head over to Pinterest and watch some videos on preparing your outdoor dwelling for spring.

3. Paint your Easter egg cups

Egg cups are the perfect Easter decor. If you have some old cups sitting around from previous holidays, give them new life by painting them with Easter colors like this one here. Just get some acrylic paint and some paintbrushes, and start painting!

With a beautiful cup like this, you can use it as a centerpiece on your dining table.

If you fancy some color variety, you can get multiple egg cups and paint them in different colors to reflect the Easter season.

4. Curate a Clean and Modern Vignette

Curate a clean and modern vignette using dishes and decor that won't overwhelm the eye but will help set the tone for your Easter guests. We love the white dishes from Fog Linen and the vibrant outerwear from Cuyana for a subtle pop of color. Tuck a chair rail into your dining nook and hang a mirror on opening up the space. A dining table can double as extra seating when necessary. And, if you can't fit hosting everyone into your already-busy schedule, consider buying pre-cooked food from your local market or favorite restaurant and putting out snacks like these macaroons from GoMacro.

5. Warm your nursery with a Variety of Crib Sheets

There are many ways to add a cozy, inviting vibe to your baby's nursery. First, choose the crib sheets. They are an essential part of the bedding, often the first item you see when you walk into the room. They also make up about half of the bed coverings in your baby's nursery. There is a massive variety of crib bedding sets from Lewis to choose from, in all kinds of colors, textures, and patterns.

6. Need inspiration for your home? Take care of the details, and your place will shine for the holidays and beyond.

The perfect place to relax and unwind: Bathrooms

Give your bathroom a makeover with a few minor upgrades. The results will add up to a big difference. If a tub is more your style, Waterworks offers Roman-style tubs that perfectly fit any bathroom. Roman tubs are more profound than old-fashioned tubs and spill over the edge to create a waterfall effect.

7. Use Fabric in Different Ways

If you're looking for a quick way to add color and pattern to your holiday décor, there's no better place to start than with fabric. Wrap your fireplace mantel in a chevron-patterned bunting, or use a large piece of fabric as the base for your table centerpiece. Here are a few more ways to use fabric around the home: 

• Draping fabric over picture frames adds an instant seasonal flair; 

• Covering floral foam with a layer of fabric makes for easy decoration; 

• Using multiple fabrics on a tabletop creates visual interest and gives your home an elevated feel;

• Layering overlapping strips of fabric over a chair or sofa makes a bold statement

8. Fill up stockings 

When was the last time you tried to fill a stocking? It's not easy. You either run out of room or have so much that it seems random. I love putting different things in stockings, but it can be hard to come up with different ideas since the area is so tiny. My solution? Give everyone a variety of options. To give everyone their stocking stuffer, get some beauty products that anyone could love. Get lip balms (like these from Burt's Bees), hand lotion from Bath and Body Works, bath bombs (like these from LUSH), and other fun things like hair ties and scarves.

9. Be Blissfully Pampered and Pamper others. The warm, soothing glow of candles not only breathes life into space but also serves as a reminder to slow down and be present. There's nothing like taking a moment to be still in a room filled with flickering candlelight. A cozy dining room, a sparkling bathroom vanity, a soothing bedroom—these spaces can all benefit from candles as the final touch.

10. Use your walls to make a statement

White walls are the best place to start because they are versatile and easy to decorate. Painting them in a deep hue will add a sense of drama without overwhelming your space. If you have fewer than three rooms or a tiny one-bedroom apartment, you can create a full-on gallery wall by hanging large art pieces directly onto each other. This will make your wall look like one big piece of art rather than several smaller ones.
