How To Make Your House Smell Good

Home is the one place it should always feel good. This means that it is essential to keep your home smelling good and fresh, so that it always feels great to come home!

Here are some of the best ways to make your house smell amazing:

Clean Your House

Firstly, if the house smells bad, work out why. Maybe is cooking smells, stale air, grubby pets, outdated food, or a bathroom long overdue a clean.

Tackle the cause of a bad smell first, usually it just means cleaning something, clean things don't tend to smell bad.  

And a clean house gives off nice smells!

Scented Candles & Reed Diffusers - Best Products To Make A House Smell Good

Buy yourself some nice smelling candles or diffusers and get into the habit of using them regularly.

A lovely woody, warm scented reed diffuser in the hallway always gives a welcoming scent when you come through the door.

Try different scents for different rooms of the house.

Warming, woody scents for living spaces, citrus scents for the kitchen, and tea-tree or eucalyptus for bathrooms. And lavender always works well in bedrooms.

Fabric softener

Use your favourite fabric softener to make your house smell good. Try wiping a very diluted solution over radiators, (¼ cap softener to a full washing up bowl of water).

Then when the heating comes on the scent will fill the air. 

Essential oil in the vacuum

Add a couple of drops of essential oil to a ball of cotton wool and suck it up the vacuum.

Then when you vacuum it will smell way nicer. I like to use cinnamon, vanilla or peppermint.

Make an essential oil room spray

It's really quick and easy to make up your own room spray using essential oils. Get the instructions here. 

Spritz it whenever the room needs a little lift.

Freshen carpets

If the carpets or rugs are smelling a bit stale, freshen them with a quick spritz of carpet freshener.

And if you don't fancy the shop bought versions then make your own natural carpet freshener, get the instructions here.

Bake cookies

Whip up a batch of homemade cookies, add lots of vanilla or cinnamon and as they bake they'll fill the house with a delicious scent.
