Let's Bring Home the Easter Bunny
From rabbit lamps to floppy-eared cushions, Easter’s furry mascot adds wit and warmth to any room
At Easter, rabbits pop up in our homes on cards, cakes and chocolate. We have German Lutherans to thank for the tradition, only their bunny was in fact the Easter Hare, who acted as a judge, deciding whether children had been good or bad at the beginning of Eastertide.
Return to the wild
Celebrate the wild rabbit’s appealing looks with an artwork that focuses closely on every furry detail.

Bag a bedside bunny
Bunnies can do more than simply look cute: they can serve a purpose, too. This bedside bunny light creates a soft glow and looks like a little sculpture whether switched on or not.

Help yourself to a hare
Although a different breed, European hares are just as handsome as rabbits and their leaping and boxing forms have been immortalised in art many times. You can steer your hares away from looking too ‘trad’ and country-ish by sourcing some in bright tones, and depicting them defying gravity if possible!

Take shape
Use the instantly recognisable shape of a sitting rabbit as the inspiration for a homemade cushion – it sure beats the traditional rectangle or square! This lovely bunny cushion is made from bold vintage fabric, too, for an extra twist of personality.

Hang wonderful wallpaper
Huge images, strong colours, mirrors and reflections – that’s the way to give rabbits a bold new look. Transform a small space with wallpaper depicting rabbits in a racy, large-scale, cartoonish-fashion.
Tour homes that pack a comic punch

Work in a wall hanging
Wall hangings suit a nursery. The soft fabric is more appealing than a traditional picture, with its image shut away behind glass. Of course, if the hanging features rabbits, so much the better!

Anthropomorphise them!
Give your rabbits the human touch by seeking out designs that show them rocking decidedly Homo sapiens style. This handsome buck sports a smart cap and looks more salty sailor than bouncing bunny.

Get out in the garden
A sculpted rabbit for your terrace or lawn is a significant step up, style-wise, from the garden gnome. Choose something larger than life to make a strong, fun statement.

Think more is more
Rabbits are known for, well, breeding like rabbits! They live in large groups, so reflect their sociability and natural abundance by choosing an artwork that features not one, but a whole colony of bunnies, happily hopping around together.

Enjoy an abstract
Faithful representations of rabbits and hares capture all their furry, twitchy beauty, but a more abstract piece will cast them in a new light. This lovely hare sculpture accentuates limbs and ears for an original, upright take on this small mammal.
