Home fragrances: fragrances, sachets, candles, sprays. Video
The atmosphere of a cozy home is made up of many components, and a subtle aroma is an important element of it. Scented candles, sachets, pomanders and sprays can be sources of pleasant smells. Choose them, taking into account the correct combination, as well as the tastes of your household. Use different smells for different rooms: what is perfect for a bathroom or bedroom may not always be appropriate for a nursery or kitchen.
Living room: sources of aromas as part of the interior
Aromatherapy experts suggest using versatile scents for the living room that most people like. These include vanilla, lemon, orange, pine needles and coffee. Pick one scent that works best for you.
It is worth considering the features of the interior. For a living room decorated in the spirit of minimalism, the aromas of fresh greenery, sea freshness or citrus are suitable. Classics with solid furnishings and lots of books require the aroma of coffee. A stylish interior in an oriental spirit can be complemented by the smells of vanilla, sandalwood or incense. To create a pleasant atmosphere in the room, do not overdo it, and keep in mind that your family and guests may be allergic to a particular smell.
If you have pets, be aware that they may also be allergic to fragrances. Plus, cats and dogs usually don’t like the smell of citrus.
Scented candles, pomanders, or lamps with essential oils dripping into the living room are suitable as fragrances. Air humidifiers also provide a good effect – special essences are added to the water poured into the tank. Do not try to add aromatic oils – you could ruin the appliance.
Do not use toilet deodorants in residential areas. Sprays give off a very pungent, chemical odor that disappears quickly
The scents can be changed from time to time. They will help create a festive atmosphere. On New Year’s Eve, try to create a composition that not only provides a subtle natural scent, but also helps to decorate the room.
For a simple and beautiful citrus composition, you will need: – a few juicy oranges; – dried clove buds; – cinnamon sticks; – wicker baskets or small dishes.
Wash the oranges and buff the fruit rind with a soft cloth. Stick carnation buds in the fruit in random order or create patterns – spirals, stars, stripes. Arrange oranges on dishes or in baskets, topping them with cinnamon sticks. The composition can be decorated with fresh spruce branches, they will add a pleasant coniferous aroma.
Fragrances for the bedroom: sprays and sachets
Scented sachets – pillows filled with aromatic herbs, flower petals and other additives – will help create a pleasant atmosphere in the bedroom. Such accessories are usually placed in wardrobes and dressers, shifting linen with them. You can make a DIY sachet by placing dried lavender or a mixture of field herbs in it.
Special water-based laundry sprays will help to give a pleasant aroma to textiles. They are used to process products before ironing. You can also spray a little spray on pillows, armchairs and bedspreads, it does not stain and has a very subtle, unobtrusive scent. Opt for soothing and relaxing compositions based on lavender, rose, chamomile, mint or oregano. Harsh and “edible” smells are not suitable for the bedroom.
