I know how much you love walking into a home that smells fresh and inviting. A good scent can change the whole mood of a space, making it feel cozy and clean. If you’ve been struggling to keep your home smelling amazing, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered.
Here are 15 simple and effective ways to fill your home with incredible scents.
Steps To Follow
Use Essential Oil Diffusers
You can never go wrong with essential oils. I like using a diffuser because it spreads a natural, long-lasting fragrance throughout my home. Lavender, eucalyptus, and citrus oils are some of my favorites for a fresh and relaxing vibe.
Simmer Potpourri on the Stove
If you love warm, comforting scents, try making a simmer pot. Just boil water and add ingredients like cinnamon sticks, orange slices, and cloves. Within minutes, your home will smell like a cozy paradise.
Keep Your Trash Can Fresh
I know this isn’t the most exciting tip, but trust me—it works! Before putting a new trash bag in, sprinkle baking soda at the bottom. You can also place a cotton ball with a few drops of essential oil inside to keep bad odors away.
Bake Something Delicious
Nothing makes a home smell better than fresh-baked goodies. If you’re in the mood, bake cookies, bread, or a pie. Even if you don’t want to bake, just warming up some cinnamon and sugar in the oven can create a mouthwatering aroma.
Light Scented Candles
I love lighting scented candles in the evening—it’s an instant mood booster. Choose high-quality candles with natural wax and essential oils for the best results. Vanilla, sandalwood, and apple spice are always good choices.
Use Linen Sprays on Fabrics
You may not notice it, but fabrics in your home (like curtains, sofas, and bed sheets) can hold onto odors. A quick spritz of a linen spray can refresh them instantly. You can even make your own by mixing water with a few drops of essential oil.
Try Scented Wax Melts
Wax melts are like candles, but they don’t have a wick. Just place them in a wax warmer, and they’ll fill your home with an amazing scent. You can find so many different fragrances, from floral to fruity.
Keep Fresh Flowers in Your Home
Bringing fresh flowers inside not only makes your space look beautiful but also adds a natural fragrance. I love keeping roses, lilies, or lavender in different rooms for a fresh floral scent.
Use Dryer Sheets in Unexpected Places
Did you know you can use dryer sheets outside of the laundry room? I like to tuck them into drawers, under couch cushions, and inside shoes to keep everything smelling fresh.
Make a DIY Air Freshener
Store-bought air fresheners can be too strong or artificial. Instead, mix water, a little vodka (or rubbing alcohol), and essential oils in a spray bottle. You can use this homemade freshener in any room.
Clean Your Carpets with Baking Soda
Carpets can trap odors, so they need a little extra care. Sprinkle baking soda over the carpet, let it sit for 15 minutes, then vacuum it up. It helps absorb bad smells and leaves the room feeling fresh.
Open the Windows for Fresh Air
Sometimes, the easiest way to make your home smell better is to let in fresh air. Opening the windows for even 15 minutes a day can help get rid of stale odors and bring in a clean, natural scent.
Keep Your Drains Smelling Fresh
Kitchen and bathroom drains can hold onto bad smells. I like to pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the drain every week to keep it clean and odor-free.
Use Eucalyptus in the Shower
If you love spa-like scents, try hanging a bundle of eucalyptus in your shower. The steam releases the natural oils, making your whole bathroom smell fresh and relaxing.
Choose the Right Cleaning Products
Your home should smell clean, not like harsh chemicals. I always go for natural, lightly scented cleaning products with essential oils. Lemon and peppermint cleaners work best for me—they smell fresh and uplifting.
