What is Primitive Easter Decor?
The key elements to Primitive Easter Decor are muted colors, simplistic designs and vintage and traditional elements. Primitive Decor brings warmth and charm into any space by invoking nostalgia and simpler country-inspired living.
Similarly to modern Easter decor, primitive Easter decor highlights the signature elements of the holiday. From Easter bunnies and carrots to religious symbols like crosses or palm fronds, primitive Easter decor embraces a more rustic, handmade aesthetic.
Primitive decor complements many home styles, such as farmhouse, country, colonial, rustic, shabby chic, and cottagecore, blending handcrafted details, weathered finishes, and vintage charm.

Easter eggs are another key staple of primitive Easter decor. Consider decorated eggs, either painted or even carved, to add a special touch to your display.
