6 Tips To Fragrance Your Home
The smell of your home is one of the first things you notice when you open the front door. We encounter many scents every day, both pleasant and unpleasant.
You deserve a home that smells just how you want it! There are many different ways to fragrance your home, and not every product or scent suits every room.
Some offer a light scent all day without needing to be plugged in. Others give an instant burst of fragrance. Some provide a strong scent for several hours.
So lets get started...
Step 1. Set up Reed diffusers
Reed diffusers are a decorative and long-lasting home decor item made of base oil, fragrance oil, and reeds. They provide a subtle fragrance throughout the day, requiring only a light breeze from doors or walking past them. They last around 3 months and come in various shapes and sizes. Refills are becoming more common, and they can be easily found online, in stores, or supermarkets.
Step 2. Use Scented Wax Melts
Wax melts are fragrances or essential oils blended with wax, providing a strong fragrance for hours. They require a wax warmer, which is available online or in supermarkets. Electric and tea light wax warmers are available, making electric options more convenient. Wax melts come in various scents, colours, shapes, and sizes. They offer flexibility in scent usage, control over fragrance usage, decorative ornaments, and excellent value for money.
Step 3. Light Lush Scented Candles
Candles have a long history and are available in various sizes, colours, and scents. They help relax and lift moods.
Although prices have increased, quality candles are still affordable.
Wood-wick, triple-wick, and single-wick candles offer various options for home decoration, making them a versatile and inexpensive choice.
Step 4. Use Scented Room Sprays
Room sprays provide an instant burst of fragrance to your home and are perfect to use in the bathroom, after cooking or when you have the odd unexpected guest.
Room sprays are made using a non-oily base designed to spray a fine mist. This is then mixed with 5-10% fragrance oil to provide a lingering fragrance.
Some room sprays are fabric-friendly, so you can lightly spray your sofa, cushions, and curtains. Just remember to do a patch test to ensure it doesn’t stain.
Step 5. Fragrance with Air fresheners
Air fresheners are a convenient way of keeping your home smelling fresh. They come in many forms, such as plug-ins, spray canisters, and pump bottles. Plug-in air fresheners drip fragrance into your room.
Some have adjustable settings, giving you greater control over how frequently they emit fragrance. Pump bottles and spray canisters offer the option to quickly spritz the whole house with a light fragrance.
They are also affordable and available at most supermarkets and corner shops; however, they do come in limited fragrances.
Step 6. Cleaning & Laundry
All cleaning and laundry products, including bleach and fabric softener, are scented. Maintaining a clean home is crucial for avoiding bad smells. Choose products that suit your taste and use multiple methods to fragrance your house for various occasions, including relaxation, entertaining, and eliminating bad smells.
