Breath of fresh air

Opening up your windows and allowing a breath of fresh air into your home is always a good idea if you want a home that smells clean.

Fresh air is free, easy and there's lots of it about!

Get the windows wide open every day, even if it's just for 10 minutes - the change of air always helps freshen things up and leaves room smelling instantly better.

This is the best way to freshen the air in your home naturally.

How To Make Your House Smell Amazing

Scented Flowers

Fresh scented flowers in your living room or entrance hall always add a gorgeous floral scent. For the best scented flowers choose blooms like...

• Lilacs

• Freesia

• Hyacinth

• Lavender

• Lillies

• Peonies

• Stocks

Arrange them in vases and display them in high traffic areas - like hallways or by the doors for a burst of fragrance which wafts around as you enter a room.

I think flowers really help with the clean and fresh home vibe.

How To Make A Room Smell Nice

Natural Room Spray

Wondering how you can make a room smell nice?

Try mixing you your own homemade room spay. It's simple and easy to change the essential oils to match the seasons, or your mood.

Opt for fresh uplifting fragrances like Bergamot during the summer and more warming woody fragrances like Sandlewood with Orange oil during the winter months.

You can also make a fresh smelling bathroom spray using antibacterial essential oils - Tea Tree and Eucalyptus.

How To Make Your Home Smell Nice

Make a simmer pot

Really make your house smell good - Mix up a panful of delicious smelling herbs, spices and fruits and infuse your home with scent.

All you'll need is a saucepan, some water and some of your favourite scented ingredients.

We particularly like oranges with cinnamon sticks and fresh ginger or a delicious smelling vanilla with fresh mint leaves or fragrant orange slices and almond oil.

Experiment with different simmer pots as a natural home fragrance and find scents which suit you.

Pomander Oranges

Pomander oranges are particularly lovely throughout the festive season.

Oranges studded with cloves give off a delicious warming scent that just shouts Christmas.

I like to make little bowlfuls of these and add in some fresh pine sprigs for extra lovely scent.

These lovely bowls of scented fruits and pine sprigs look nice in the hallway or lounge.

Make Your Own Carpet Freshener

Mix up your own carpet freshener using a simple little recipe combination

• 1 cup of baking soda
• 2 tbs dried rosemary or lavender

Mix the two ingredients together in a small bowl or jar using a spoon.

Sprinkle evenly over the rug or carpet and leave for a few hours or overnight to absorb the stale smells. Then simply vacuum up.

Be super careful not to use on damp or wet carpet though or it will end up a sticky paste...
