Fuzzy chicks and cute bunnies are part of the pastel pantheon of Easter d\u00e9cor, and their charm helps define the look of the season.<\/p>\n

But for those who prefer celebrating with a modern aesthetic, there are many attractive d\u00e9cor options that are a tad less cute and a tad more contemporary. Some reference Easter\u2019s traditional color palette in new ways, while others put a modern twist on the holiday\u2019s iconic elements.<\/p>\n

Pottery Barn has realistic speckled and robin\u2019s eggs that would make pretty filler for tabletop bowls and vases. There are luster-finished glass eggs here, too, in soft yellow, pink and blue that would look smart on a gray or navy tablecloth or sleek lacquered console. Mercury-glass pillar candle holders are rendered in an interesting new shimmery pale blue. And there\u2019s an elegant silver-plated cake server embossed with a rabbit motif.www.potterybarn.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Albany, Ore.-based designers Jason and Cara Hibbs hand-draw, then screen-print rabbit images on organic flour sack cotton tea towels. The charming result would make a great hostess gift. www.etsy.com\/shop\/ohlittlerabbit<\/a><\/p>\n

Canadian textile artist Cristina Larsen crafts winsome stuffed felted bunnies and chicks in a rainbow of hues that have a terrific vibe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI use merino wool to make all my felt. I dye the colors and stitch every toy by hand,\u201d she says. While Larsen calls them \u201ctoys,\u201d they\u2019d be equally at home as artsy Easter d\u00e9cor. www.etsy.com\/shop\/textileplatypus<\/a><\/p>\n

The key to a modern Easter look is simple, according to Kevin Sharkey, executive creative director for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia: \u201cIt\u2019s about a controlled color palette.\u201d<\/p>\n

Easter candies can be used to create a graphic tablescape. Fill plain glass cylinders or apothecary jars with single or multi-colored jellybeans for a colorblock effect. Consider adding a pillar candle, or place a smaller plant or vase inside a bigger container and fill the spaces in between with confections.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuy a bunch of the same style chocolate rabbits in different sizes and arrange them going down the center of the table like a runner,\u201d Sharkey suggests.<\/p>\n

Or fill a low tray with colorful Peeps, another classic Easter treat that happens to be one of Sharkey\u2019s favorites. Last year, he says, Stewart\u2019s daughter, Alexis, gave him \u201ca gift box full of every color Peep they make. I brought it into the office and everyone was taking pictures of it because it was so cool to look at.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are some other clever decorating ideas on Stewart\u2019s website for those with a slightly crafty hand, like studding wreaths and Styrofoam balls.<\/p>\n

Metallic paint and glitter-coated eggs amp up the wow factor. There are tips too on using eggshells and egg cups as vases for diminutive bouquets of lily of the valley or pansies.<\/p>\n
