Easter table and décor: yellow colours, eggs and spring flowers

Påskefrokosten samler familie og venner om bordet, og lidt pynt gør stemningen tydelig fra første blik. Du behøver ikke mange ting for at få det til at se indbydende ud. Det handler om at vælge få elementer og give dem plads.

I denne guide får du konkrete idéer til farver, æg, blomster og opdækning, så du kan sætte et påskebord, der føles gennemtænkt uden at være besværligt at lave.

Det korte svar på hvad der pynter påskebordet

Et påskebord der virker, bygger på tre ting: farver i gult og grønt, æg som pynt eller på tallerkenen, og forårsblomster i en vase. Vælg en enkel dug eller lad tallerkenerne stå for farven, sæt et par æggebægre frem til gæsterne, og stil en vase med friske blomster midt på bordet. Start med farverne, tilføj æggene, og slut med blomsterne som det sidste blikfang, så bygger du bordet i en rækkefølge, der er nem at følge.

Hvornår er påske

Påskesøndag er søndagen efter første fuldmåne efter forårsjævndøgn, og datoen skifter derfor fra år til år. Det betyder, at du hvert år må tjekke kalenderen igen, før du planlægger påskefrokosten.

• Påskesøndag 2027 falder søndag den 28. marts 2027.
• Påskesøndag 2028 falder søndag den 16. april 2028.
• Påskesøndag 2029 falder søndag den 1. april 2029.

Sæt datoen i kalenderen tidligt, så du har tid til at planlægge både mad og pynt.

Farver til påskebordet

Gule og grønne farver hører til blandt de almindelige elementer i påskepynt, og de er nemme at kombinere med det, du allerede har i skabet. Hold paletten enkel: vælg en eller to hovedfarver og lad resten af bordet være neutralt, så farverne får lov at stå frem.

• Citron tallerkener i stentøj giver en tydelig gul tone direkte på bordet.
• Appelsin tallerkener i porcelæn tilføjer en varmere nuance, hvis du vil blande det op.
• Plate del mar tallerkener i dolomit kan bruges, hvis du hellere vil holde det roligt og lade blomster og æg stå for farven.

Her er et overblik over de tallerkener, der nævnes til at sætte farve på påskebordet.

Æg og æggebægre

Eggs are one of the elements that most often crop up in Easter decorations, and they work both as table decoration and as something guests actually use. The shop has ceramic egg cups from Quail, and they can be set out at each place setting, so guests have somewhere to put their boiled egg, while the cups themselves form part of the decoration.

Feel free to line up several egg cups next to each other on the table. It gives a calm, repeated look without you needing extra decoration alongside.

Forårsblomster i vaser

Tulips and daffodils are among the spring flowers most often used in Easter decorations, and they do the most for the table if you gather them in vases of different heights. A low vase in the middle of the table and a single tall vase at the end gives the table depth without blocking the view between guests.

• Leopard vase in stoneware, small, can be used for a single sprig or a couple of short stems.
• Panda vase in stoneware, small, works the same way and can sit close to its neighbour on the table.
• Cow wall vase in stoneware is an option if you'd rather use the wall behind the table than the table surface itself.

Opdækning til påskefrokosten

Once the colours, eggs and flowers are in place, you just need the practical part: plates, napkins and dishes to serve the food in. Choose dishes that work together with the plates, so the table holds together without you having to think about it for every course.

• Lemon dish in ceramic matches the lemon plates, if you want to keep a consistent theme.
• Rainbow fish dish in stoneware can be used for cold cuts or fish and adds an extra splash of colour to the table.
