Our homes are important spaces with a responsibility for maintaining and elevating well-being. Whilst décor and the functionality of rooms have a big part to play in how we connect with our homes, one factor that must be considered is home scents.
At ScentAir, we believe that choosing the right aroma can enhance a room's usability, completely changing the ambience. In this blog, we will share our recommendations for which scents and products suit certain spaces to help you unlock an olfactory experience every time you enter a new space.
What Impact Can Scents Have in the Home?
Home fragrance is directly linked to a home's mood and energy. In the same way that lighting or home accessories can change the feel of a space, a scent has the power to add personality. Choosing the right aroma is vital whether you want to relax or feel invigorated.
The smell of our homes also says a lot about how we choose to live and the impression we want to give off about our safe places. For example, when visitors enter your home, they will use smell as one of the senses to understand how they feel in a space. Selecting the perfect fragrance is essential to ensure people feel welcome and at home.
Recommended Scents for the Home
With each room in the home having a different purpose, choosing a scent that represents the functionality is ideal. Below we have gathered some of our top choices:
Scents For The Kitchen
As the hub of the home, a kitchen should include neutral and soft aromas that will balance well with any food being prepared. Our White Tea and Thyme scent is ideal, as it provides a calming undertone that is not overpowering once you start cooking. Other scents that work well include citrus and other herby notes.
Bedroom Scents
Creating a space intended for relaxation and sleep depends significantly on smell. Calming aromas, including lavender, jasmine, sandalwood, and patchouli, are perfect options. We also recommend our floral yet soothing Black Orchid cartridge, as it brings together myriad soothing scents perfect for inducing tranquillity.
Scents For Living Spaces
Whether you choose to watch TV, read a book or indulge in crafting, living spaces are designed to be comfortable. Selecting a fresh and subtle scent is, therefore, a perfect option. For something lighter, why not try our Tropical Coconut aroma? However, if your décor is rustic and you want something warmer, Dark Vanilla Pomelo is a fantastic choice.
Scent For Bathrooms
Even if you have the cleanest bathroom in the world, sometimes it can lack a sense of freshness if a scent is not accompanying it. Soft smells such as vanilla and bergamot are lovely options to keep bathrooms smelling nice. We also like the effect of using nature-inspired scents to evoke a feeling of purity. An example of this is the Seaside Driftwood scent.
Room Spray VS Diffuser
Room sprays offer quick bursts of fragrance ideal for instant freshening, while diffusers provide a gradual, long-lasting aroma dispersal that can enhance ambiance over time. Choosing between the two products depends on whether you prefer immediate scent gratification or a more subtle, continuous fragrance experience.
Scented Candles For Home
Scented candles infuse your home with delightful fragrances, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. With a wide range of scents available, they offer a personalised touch to suit any mood or occasion. Although, being great for homes, they can often be a fire hazard, that's why more people are switching to scent diffusers.
