How to Style the Perfect Easter Bell Tent – Backyard Camping Style 🐣⛺

Easter is the perfect excuse to slow down, gather your favourite people, and create a little magic at home. And what better way to celebrate than with a beautifully styled bell tent in your own backyard?

Whether you’re planning a kids’ Easter sleepover, a long weekend glamping setup, or a relaxed family lunch that rolls into an overnight stay, here’s how to style the perfect Easter bell tent — backyard camping style.

1. Start with a Soft, Neutral Base

The beauty of a bell tent is its natural canvas look — it pairs perfectly with Easter’s soft, seasonal palette.

Start with:

  • Layered rugs (jute, woven, or pastel tones)

  • Low mattresses or stretcher beds

  • Crisp white or beige bedding

  • Chunky knit throws

  • Oversized floor cushions

Think cosy glamping retreat, not camping trip. The goal is comfort and warmth.

2. Choose an Easter Colour Theme

Keep it simple and cohesive. Some gorgeous Easter-inspired combinations include:

  • 🌸 Blush, sage and cream

  • 🐰 Soft lilac, dusty blue and white

  • 🌿 Natural linen with pops of pastel

  • 🍋 Neutral tones with fresh lemon accents

Incorporate your chosen palette through cushions, throws, bunting, table settings, and florals.

3. Add Whimsical Easter Details

This is where the magic happens.

Subtle, stylish touches work best — avoid going overly bright or cluttered.

Ideas include:

  • Ceramic or wooden bunny decorations

  • Woven baskets filled with chocolate eggs

  • Enamelware

  • Mini egg hunt bags at each bed

  • Handwritten name tags for guests

  • Easter-themed bunting across the entrance

For kids, you could create a small “Easter surprise station” inside the tent with books, craft kits, or glow sticks for nighttime fun.

4. Create a Cosy Lighting Glow

Lighting transforms a bell tent from beautiful to magical.

Layer your lighting:

  • Warm fairy lights wrapped around the centre pole

  • Battery lanterns

  • LED candles for a soft glow

  • Solar festoon lights outside the tent

  • A candelit Chandelier

As the sun sets, the warm glow turns your backyard into a dreamy Easter retreat.

5. Set Up an Easter Picnic Corner

If space allows, style a low picnic table either inside the tent or just outside the entrance.

Add:

  • A linen tablecloth

  • Fresh flowers (think tulips, daisies, baby’s breath)

  • Wooden grazing boards

  • Hot cross buns and seasonal treats

  • Fresh juice or sparkling drinks in glass dispensers

Scatter a few cushions around to create relaxed, comfortable seating.

6. Add Texture with Natural Elements

Easter is all about new beginnings and the start of autumn (especially here in Australia), so embrace natural textures.

Incorporate:

  • Dried grasses or pampas

  • Fresh greenery

  • Wooden crates

  • Woven trays

  • Rattan décor

These elements soften the space and enhance that effortless backyard glamping feel.

7. Plan a Simple Easter Activity

Make the tent more than just a place to sleep.

Some fun ideas:

  • Twilight Easter egg hunt with lanterns

  • Outdoor movie night projected onto a sheet

  • Craft corner for decorating eggs

  • Storytime under fairy lights

It keeps everyone engaged and makes the experience feel special and memorable.

8. Don’t Forget Comfort Essentials

Backyard camping should feel luxurious.

Make sure you include:

  • Extra blankets for cooler evenings

  • A small side table per guest

  • Phone charging station

  • A basket with snacks and water

  • A portable heater (if needed)

Comfort is what turns “camping” into “glamping.”

The Final Touch: Make It Personal

The most beautiful Easter bell tents aren’t just styled — they feel thoughtful.

Add personalised touches:

  • Name cards on each bed

  • A small Easter gift bag

  • A handwritten welcome sign at the entrance

It’s those little details that make guests feel special.
