Whether you already have some linen napkins you use frequently and wash, or you will be buying Easter-themed napkins in 2021, you'd better buy some rings to display them on your table in style. You'll find two options below – one of which is Easter-related with carrots as the holder, and the other could be used year-round as they are made from rattan.

8. Buy some Easter-themed napkins – these ones from H&M are lovely (and subtle)

We try to stray away from anything that screams Easter and is brightly coloured, so when we spotted these napkins we were pleasantly surprised. They are from H&M home and they come in a pack of 20 and they feature a print motif of a pastel blue and yellow wreath, and read the words 'Happy Easter'.

9. What about some pastel-coloured eggs to decorate your table with?

These Easter eggs aren't the ones you'd find on a hunt in the garden, they are more the type that you display on a table or mantlepiece. Or, on your Easter tree since they come with string for hanging. We think they'd look best either placed on plates or sprinkled over a table, and you can reuse them every year.

Set of 12 Mini Easter Egg Decorations | £5 at Anthropologie

Set of 12 Mini Easter Egg Decorations | £5 at Anthropologie
Each pack includes 12 decorative eggs that are made of plastic and painted in pastel colours and speckled to look life-like. They come with hanging strings so you can pop them on an Easter tree, but we think they would look lovely dotted around your Easter table, instead.

10. A faux floral garland – for laying in the centre of your table to add colour

If you are going for a simple look on your Easter table this year, then buy a faux garland to pop straight down the middle of your long table. Then, you can accessorise until your heart is content with lovely napkin holders and candles. Style the garland around your glassware for a dramatic effect. You can also use this garland again – for summer parties or decorating your home for spring.
