50 Easter Tray Decor Ideas

Are you struggling to make your coffee table look festive without it turning into a cluttered mess?

Decorating a tray is the easiest way to keep your look organized and chic.

I promise these 50 simple Easter tray ideas will bring high-end spring style to your home without breaking the bank.

1. Pastel Eggs In Grass Nests

Group soft pastel eggs inside small faux grass nests. This gives your tray a gentle spring vibe and clearly marks the Easter season without being too loud or messy.

• Use light pinks, blues, and yellows.
• Place nests in groups of three.
• Choose speckled eggs for added texture.

Pro Tip: Use a few dots of museum putty under the nests to keep them from sliding around your tray.

2. Tiny Vases With Faux Blooms

Place small faux flowers in tiny vases or jars and spread them out on the tray. Use soft colors like blush or lavender to keep the display light and airy for spring.

• Use tiny bud vases or spice jars.
• Choose one type of flower for a clean look.
• Stick to three main flower colors.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have bud vases, use small spice jars or shot glasses instead for a quick fix.

3. Bunny Figurines As Focal Points

Use one or two small bunny figures as the main stars of your tray. Place simple fillers, like moss or small eggs, around them to ground the design and make it feel balanced.

• Use white or pale gray ceramic bunnies.
• Place the largest bunny in the center.
• Keep the surrounding items low profile.

Pro Tip: Give your bunny a little height boost by placing it on a stack of small decorative books.

4. Moss Base With Speckled Eggs

Cover a section of your tray with faux moss for great texture. Nestling speckled eggs right into the moss adds a beautiful, natural spring feel that looks instantly high-end.

• Use sheet moss for easy coverage.
• Scatter eggs randomly for a natural look.
• Pair this idea with natural wood trays.

Pro Tip: Use a thin layer of Spanish moss first to fill space, then top with the thicker sheet moss.

5. Egg Cups As Mini Planters

Use decorative ceramic egg cups as tiny vessels for faux flower heads or small decorative eggs. This easy trick adds height variation and a playful Easter detail to your display.

• Choose egg cups in bright spring colors.
• Put a single faux flower in each cup.
• Arrange them in a line or curve.

Pro Tip: Turn the egg cups upside down and use them as mini pedestals for small candles or bunny figures instead.

6. Lavender Bud Accents

Lay dried or faux lavender buds loosely across the tray base or place them in small jars. Lavender adds a lovely soft color and a subtle farmhouse feel to your Easter decor.

• Use small clear jars for the buds.
• Spread a small amount around the centerpiece.
• Pair with white ceramic items.

Pro Tip: If using real dried lavender, the smell acts as a bonus air freshener for your living room.

7. Egg-Shaped Pastel Candles

Incorporate egg-shaped candles in soft pastel shades for a touch of warmth and structure. Even when they are not lit, the unique shape reinforces the Easter theme instantly.

• Group candles in odd numbers (1 or 3).
• Place them on a small coaster or stand.
• Choose candles in matte finishes.

Pro Tip: Use candle wax adhesive on the bottom of the candle to make sure it doesn’t tip over easily.

8. Mini Tulip Arrangement

Use a small bunch of faux or fresh tulips in a simple vase as the largest element on your tray. Tulips instantly communicate spring and look beautiful next to small eggs or figurines.

• Keep the vase short and wide.
• Use only one color of tulip.
• Trim stems very short for a dense look.

Pro Tip: Fresh tulips will continue to grow after you cut them, so trim the stems slightly shorter than you think you need.

9. Wooden Bunny Silhouettes

Place flat wooden bunny cutouts on small stands to add height without cluttering the space. These work perfectly if you prefer a modern or simple farmhouse Easter style.

• Use natural light wood tones.
• Lean them against a vase or candle.
• Choose simple, clean bunny shapes.

Pro Tip: Paint the edges of the wooden shapes white to make them stand out against a dark tray base.

10. Ombre Eggs In A Shallow Bowl

Display eggs that have been dyed in gradient colors, moving from light to dark, inside a shallow dish or bowl. This creates a very clean, organized look that still feels festive.

• Use a simple white ceramic bowl.
• Choose one color (like blue) for the ombre.
• Arrange eggs tightly inside the bowl.

Pro Tip: Place a small napkin or tea towel underneath the bowl to add a layer of soft texture.

11. Ceramic Bunny Family Display

Group two or three small ceramic bunnies together to create a tiny Easter scene. This works especially well for deep trays or as the main focus on a coffee table.

• Vary the height of the bunnies.
• Use neutral colors like white or cream.
• Add a tiny fence accent nearby.

Pro Tip: Look for vintage ceramic animals at thrift stores for a unique and budget-friendly find.

12. Faux Grass Bunnies with Carrots

Decorative bunnies made of faux grass paired with tiny decorative carrot accents tell a playful Easter story. Keep the rest of the tray simple to avoid visual overload and maintain focus.

• Use one larger grass bunny.
• Scatter mini faux carrots around its base.
• Place these items on a wooden riser.

Pro Tip: If you cannot find faux carrots, paint small wooden beads orange and green to look like carrots.

13. Rustic Wooden Bunny Cutouts

Lean wooden bunny shapes against other items on the tray or place them flat on the surface. Their neutral tone balances out any colorful eggs and flowers you use.

• Use distressed or stained wood.
• Prop them against a book stack.
• Choose a mix of large and small sizes.

Pro Tip: If you have kids, let them decorate a few of the wooden cutouts with non-toxic paint for a personal touch.

14. Bunnies On Moss Bases

Mount small bunny silhouettes or figures onto moss-covered bases for added texture and height. This keeps the display looking grounded, organic, and focused on spring.

• Use small wooden blocks for the base.
• Cover the blocks completely in moss.
• Use small, standing bunny figures.

Pro Tip: This idea works best on a round tray, placing the moss bases evenly around the edge.

15. Felt Bunny Ear Accents

Add felt bunny ears attached to small stands or jars. This is a subtle, playful way to reference Easter without using full figurines, keeping the look modern and fun.

• Stick the felt ears into a small jar of rice.
• Use gray or cream felt colors.
• Place them near a candle.

Pro Tip: You can buy simple felt bunny ear headbands and cut the ears off to use them for decor instead.

16. Mini Bunny Baskets With Eggs

Place small baskets filled with decorative eggs on the tray. This reminds everyone of an Easter egg hunt and adds a cozy, seasonal vibe to your coffee table.

• Use woven or wire mini baskets.
• Fill them mostly with eggs.
• Use shredded paper grass for filler.

Pro Tip: Use a heavy item like a candle next to the basket to keep the overall display from feeling too lightweight.

17. Bunny Footprint Detail

Use felt or painted bunny footprints across the tray base. This adds a touch of whimsy and makes it look like the Easter bunny just passed through, keeping the decor minimal.

• Cut footprints out of white felt.
• Arrange them in a wandering path.
• Keep the rest of the decor simple.

Pro Tip: If your tray is dark, use white chalk or white paint to quickly stencil small footprints onto the surface.

18. Baby Chick Figures with Eggs

Nestle small, fuzzy chick figurines among decorative eggs for a classic Easter look. Keep the color palette soft and pale yellow for a clean, updated farmhouse feel.

• Use chicks that are small and fuzzy.
• Group them with a few oversized eggs.
• Place them near a floral arrangement.

Pro Tip: Only use two or three chicks maximum to avoid making the tray look too busy or cluttered.

19. Bunny-Shaped Tea Light Holders

Use bunny-shaped candle holders to add height and structure to the tray display. These work perfectly as accent pieces on either side of a larger centerpiece item.

• Choose holders made of clear glass.
• Place a neutral tea light inside.
• Use them to frame the main vase.

Pro Tip: Make sure your tea light holders are short enough that the flame is well below the tray rim for safety.

20. Hand-Painted Bunny Egg Cups

Display painted egg cups that are shaped like bunnies as decorative holders. These combine function and seasonal charm, making them a great piece for a small tray.

• Fill them with small candies.
• Use cups that are brightly painted.
• Place them near napkins or coasters.

Pro Tip: If you have plain white egg cups, use Sharpies to draw simple bunny faces on them for a quick DIY update.

21. Natural Wood Tray With Eggs

Let the tray itself be part of the decor by using a warm, natural wooden base. Add speckled eggs sparingly to keep the look clean, rustic, and very simple.

• Choose a tray with visible wood grain.
• Use only white or brown speckled eggs.
• Add one small green plant nearby.

Pro Tip: If your tray is dark, dust a little white flour over it (and wipe off) for a quick, distressed farmhouse look.

22. Tiered Tray Egg Clusters

If you are using a tiered tray, group decorative eggs in sets of three or five on different levels. This creates visual flow while keeping the Easter theme consistent across all tiers.

• Use small cups to hold the clusters.
• Mix plastic and ceramic eggs.
• Place flowers on the top tier only.

Pro Tip: Use sticky tack under the eggs on the highest tier so they won’t roll off when the tray is moved.

23. Color-Blocked Painted Eggs

Paint eggs in solid, bright pastel shades and arrange them strictly by color. This method creates a modern, organized Easter tray display that looks very intentional and clean.

• Use six eggs of one color per cluster.
• Place them in rows for a clean look.
• Stick to matte paint colors.

Pro Tip: If you don’t want to paint, buy plastic eggs in solid colors and tape off the middle for a quick color-block effect.

24. Eggs Under Mini Cloches

Place one or two individual decorative eggs under small glass domes or cloches. This adds an elegant touch and makes simple, inexpensive eggs feel special and intentional.

• Use white or gilded eggs.
• Set the cloches on a small riser.
• Scatter moss around the base of the cloche.

Pro Tip: You can often find small glass domes in the candle aisle intended for dessert displays.

25. Ribbon-Tied Eggs On Stands

Wrap thin decorative ribbon around eggs and display them on mini holders or small candle stands. This adds softness and detail without making the tray look cluttered.

• Use satin or sheer ribbon.
• Tie the ribbon in a simple bow.
• Use only eggs of one size.

Pro Tip: Choose a ribbon color that matches the main flower arrangement on your tray for a cohesive look.

26. Eggs with Spring Words

Write simple spring or Easter words directly on decorative eggs using a fine-tipped marker. Display them in a small bowl or a section of the tray for a personal, heartfelt touch.

• Use words like ‘Bloom’ or ‘Hope’.
• Write only on white eggs.
• Use a metallic gold marker.

Pro Tip: If you have bad handwriting, use small letter stickers or temporary tattoos on the eggs instead.

27. French Country Egg Holders

Use vintage-style egg holders or wire baskets to lift eggs off the tray surface. This adds charm, height variation, and a slightly rustic, old-world feel to your Easter decor.

• Choose distressed white or wire holders.
• Fill them with brown and white eggs.
• Place a small linen napkin underneath.

Pro Tip: Look for small ceramic berry baskets—they work perfectly as cute, rustic egg holders.

28. Eggs In Twigs And Lichen

Create natural-looking nests using small twigs and faux lichen for a woodland-inspired tray display. This works very well if you favor rustic or natural Easter decor over bright pastels.

• Use thin, bendy floral wire to secure the twigs.
• Nestle deep blue or brown eggs inside.
• Keep the nest small and compact.

Pro Tip: You can buy inexpensive bundles of decorative twigs or moss at most craft stores in the floral section.

29. Polka Dot Eggs On A Plate

Display patterned eggs, like polka dots or stripes, on a small, simple plate or pedestal stand. This keeps the tray organized while adding visual interest and a bit of fun.

• Use a pedestal stand for height.
• Mix various patterns together.
• Use a plate with a ruffled edge.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have a pedestal, turn a small bowl upside down and place the plate on top to create one.

30. Eggs With Floral Wire Crowns

Wrap thin floral wire or delicate faux flowers around the top of decorative eggs for a subtle, delicate look. This adds detail without overpowering the rest of your tray items.

• Use very thin gold floral wire.
• Choose tiny, white faux flowers.
• Display them in a small row.

Pro Tip: Pre-made floral crowns for crafting small dolls work perfectly for this idea.

31. Mini Daffodils In Glass Jars

Use small clear mason jars filled with faux or fresh daffodils to instantly brighten the tray. The yellow tones immediately suggest spring and Easter happiness.

• Use small, clear glass jars.
• Trim the stems to fit the jar height.
• Place one jar on each side of the tray.

Pro Tip: If using fresh daffodils, change the water every two days to keep them looking bright and fresh.

32. Eucalyptus With Bunny Accent

Combine soft eucalyptus stems with a single, elegant bunny figure. This balances natural greenery with seasonal symbolism, creating a sophisticated and simple Easter display.

• Use frosted eucalyptus stems.
• Place the bunny nestled in the greenery.
• Use a white vase for the stems.

Pro Tip: Eucalyptus smells great, so using a few real stems is a bonus for your home.

33. Moss-Covered Base With Blooms

Line part of the tray with moss and tuck small, brightly colored flowers into it. This creates a lush, natural spring foundation for your other Easter elements.

• Use small craft foam under the moss.
• Tuck in pink and purple blooms.
• Keep the moss contained to one corner.

Pro Tip: If you use sheet moss, you can lift it up easily when the holiday is over without leaving a mess.

34. Mini Tulip Pitchers

Place tiny ceramic or metal pitchers filled with tulips on the tray. This adds a charming farmhouse-inspired Easter look that feels cozy and welcoming.

• Use pitchers that are 4-6 inches tall.
• Choose cream or pale blue pitchers.
• Place them near a stack of mugs.

Pro Tip: Look for miniature creamers at antique shops; they work perfectly as small pitchers.

35. Baby’s Breath With Eggs

Pair light, airy baby’s breath stems with pastel eggs. This creates an ethereal, elegant Easter display that looks expensive but is actually very budget-friendly.

• Use a clear glass vase.
• Keep the baby’s breath tall and wispy.
• Scatter a few white eggs underneath.

Pro Tip: Faux baby’s breath is very durable and you can re-use it for years to come.

36. Succulent With Easter Accents

Use a small, modern succulent planter as the base of your display. Then, add subtle Easter elements like a few metallic eggs nearby. This keeps the tray fresh and modern.

• Use a geometric or concrete planter.
• Place only two or three eggs next to it.
• Keep the plant low to the tray.

Pro Tip: Succulents are very low maintenance, making this a great centerpiece for busy people.

37. Wildflower Bowl Arrangement

Arrange faux wildflowers loosely and casually in a shallow bowl. This works well as a large centerpiece on a bigger tray and gives a charming, ‘just picked’ feel.

• Use a wide, low bowl.
• Mix many bright colors.
• Let the flowers spill slightly over the edge.

Pro Tip: Instead of foam, use crumpled chicken wire inside the bowl to hold the flower stems in place.

38. Pressed Flower Coasters As Bases

Use pressed flower coasters under eggs or small candles on the tray. This adds detail and a pop of color without adding any extra bulky objects.

• Use resin coasters with real flowers.
• Place one coaster under each candle.
• Choose coasters with bright spring flowers.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have pressed flower coasters, use decorative paper napkins instead.

39. Daisy Garlands Draped Lightly

Drape mini daisy garlands gently around the edges of the tray. This softens the entire layout and adds movement, making the display feel light and breezy.

• Use a garland that is very thin.
• Let the garland hang slightly off the tray.
• Pair with white ceramic pieces.

Pro Tip: If your garland is too long, cut it into small sections and use those pieces individually.

40. Fern Fronds with Wooden Eggs

Pair deep green fern fronds with neutral, natural wooden eggs. This creates a balanced, earthy Easter tray that looks sophisticated and avoids the typical pastel colors.

• Use faux leather leaf ferns.
• Display the fern in a tall, narrow vase.
• Scatter the wooden eggs sparingly.

Pro Tip: Use a few drops of cedar essential oil near the ferns to enhance the natural, earthy smell.

41. Farmhouse Hay Nest Display

Create a simple nest using faux hay or raffia and fill it with decorative eggs and one small bunny. This adds rustic, cozy Easter charm to any kitchen or living room tray.

• Use raffia or straw for the nest.
• Place the nest in a wide, low bowl.
• Use brown speckled eggs.

Pro Tip: Hay can be messy, so place the nest inside a linen napkin to keep the pieces contained.

42. Wood Slice Risers With Decor

Use wood slices as risers to lift your key decorative pieces, like candles or bunnies. This helps break up flat layouts and adds a natural, cabin-like feel to the tray.

• Choose wood slices with bark edges.
• Use three different sizes of risers.
• Place a small vase on the tallest riser.

Pro Tip: If your wood slice is uneven, use a small piece of cork underneath to keep it from wobbling.

43. Rustic Pots With Spring Blooms

Add small clay or terracotta pots filled with spring flowers, real or faux. These pots anchor the tray and add wonderful texture, making the display feel grounded.

• Use tiny 2-inch pots.
• Plant with faux moss or small flowers.
• Arrange three pots in a tight cluster.

Pro Tip: Give your pots a quick update by brushing them with white paint and wiping it off before it dries for a distressed look.

44. Twine-Wrapped Bottle Vases

Wrap small glass bottles tightly in jute twine and use them as vases for single flower stems. This adds farmhouse style while staying Easter-appropriate and simple.

• Use thick jute twine.
• Place a single tulip or hyacinth stem in each.
• Line three bottles up evenly.

Pro Tip: Use hot glue at the top and bottom of the bottles to secure the twine quickly and easily.

45. Mini Wreaths In Tray Corners

Place two very small, simple wreaths in opposite corners of the rectangular tray. This frames the entire display and adds structure without taking up too much central space.

• Use wreaths made of boxwood or moss.
• Place a small candle inside the wreath.
• Choose wreaths 4-6 inches wide.

Pro Tip: Use mini grapevine wreaths for a rustic feel and tuck in small faux flower buds.

46. Burlap Accents With Ribbon

Use small burlap elements, like coasters or wrapped jars, tied with pastel ribbon for contrast. This blends rustic textures with soft Easter colors beautifully.

• Use burlap ribbon tied around a vase.
• Place a small burlap runner on the tray.
• Use pink or lavender satin ribbon.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have burlap, use linen or any other rough-textured fabric instead.

47. Driftwood With Moss And Florals

Incorporate a small piece of driftwood layered with faux moss and tiny flowers. This creates an organic, unique focal point that is perfect for a coastal or natural theme.

• Choose a small, flat piece of driftwood.
• Glue moss directly onto the wood.
• Place small blue flowers nearby.

Pro Tip: If you live near the coast, look for small, interesting pieces of driftwood on the beach for free decor.

48. Clay Pot Animals With Carrots

Turn small clay pots into bunny or chick figures by adding felt ears and painting on faces. Add tiny carrot accents for a homemade, playful character display.

• Use small white clay pots.
• Paint simple black eyes and whiskers.
• Glue a pom-pom tail onto the back.

Pro Tip: This is a great craft project to do with kids, using non-toxic washable paint.

49. Jute Coasters With Egg Nests

Use thick jute coasters as decorative bases for small egg displays or tiny nests. This adds texture while keeping smaller items organized and contained on the tray surface.

• Use round, thick jute coasters.
• Place a cluster of five eggs on each one.
• Pair with white linen napkins.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have jute coasters, use small woven placemats cut down to size.

50. Driftwood, Eggs, And Floral Picks

Combine a piece of driftwood, several decorative eggs, and a few bright floral picks into one cohesive, balanced tray layout. This creates a natural and interesting Easter centerpiece.

• Use varying shades of green floral picks.
• Arrange items in a diagonal line.
• Use eggs in earthy or neutral tones.

Pro Tip: Ensure your eggs, wood, and flowers share a similar tone (e.g., all muted or all bright) so they look intentional.

See? Creating a beautiful Easter centerpiece doesn’t require a design degree or a huge budget.
