How To Fragrance Your Home Effortlessly
Each room, whether it’s your sitting room or kitchen, serves a unique purpose and its by understanding that purpose that you can chose the right scents. As a rule, your kitchen should smell clean and crisp and your bedroom should be scented with notes that will aid ultimate relaxation or boost sensuality, while your sitting room should feel serene, warm, and inviting.
You want each room to help you slip easily into a particular mood, and aside from décor, scent is the quickest and most efficient way to do that.
How to Fragrance Your Bedroom
Most bedrooms serve two purposes: rest and intimacy. Calming, cocooning, and sensual notes such as amber, cedarwood, and vetiver will help your bedroom feel like a sanctuary nestled away from the rest of the world. Candles are the perfect choice for a bedroom, the flickering flame and subtle warmth add to that sense of sanctuary, though remember to always extinguish the flame before committing to sleep.
How to Fragrance Your Sitting Room
Your sitting room is where you might want to spend an evening after your meal relaxing and winding down for bed. It’s also the area that you’re likely to host guests. This must be the most versatile and hardworking room of your home and so how it smells is hugely important.
A mix of comforting and welcoming notes, plus fragrances reminiscent of the outdoors, will help keep your space feeling fresh and comfortable. Likewise, a mixture of candles, room sprays, and diffusers, will help layer the fragrances, creating different moods for different times of the day.
Room diffusers are excellent by day, candles create a soothing ambiance by night, and a room spray helps lift the atmosphere before your guests arrive.
The Best Kitchen Fragrances
Naturally, kitchens are where the cooking happens, so they tend to accumulate a number of conflicting smells. A great kitchen scent is one that’s fresh and crisp enough to cut through the various cooking smells, but also scents carrying herbal notes help to bring an earthy element that you will love, too.
How to Keep Your Bathroom Smelling Fresh
Unfortunately, bathrooms harbour smells which are not conducive to creating a relaxing sanctuary for some pampering. A combination of citrus and floral fragrances will help subdue unwanted smells and freshen the air.
Look for mandarin, ylang ylang, and lemon. To create a spa like feel for your baths and shower, warmer incense-leaning fragrances, such as sandalwood, will mingle and intensify with steam.
A Final Word on Home Fragrance
Ultimately, your home should smell like you. If you’re someone who naturally leans towards floral perfumes, then it makes sense to incorporate an element of that into how you scent your home.
Think of the kinds of fragrances you wear and consider their notes the base notes of how you scent your home. Then look for candles, room sprays, and diffusers, that complement those base notes and layer over the elements mentioned above. You spend much of your time at home, it’s where you entertain and spend time with the people closest to you, it should smell fantastic.
