While the look and feel of an interior space is an important aspect of creating the perfect ambiance in your home; FRAGRANCE can also change the atmosphere of a room or evoke memories and feelings associated with a place, person or emotion. With so many candles, diffusers and oils available across the high street there are a variety of home fragrances that can be tailored to your exact tastes.
Vanilla is considered a natural aphrodisiac and is also perfect for creating a cosy and feminine feel in you chosen room. This scent works particularly well in bedroom and dressing room areas and can also be burnt at the dining table during a romantic meal for two. For a more festive and seasonal twist then team vanilla with cinnamon and clove for a Christmas inspired scent with a mulled wine style fragrance. Ginger is another warming fragrance that has been known to be a natural remedy for sickness, headaches and stress for many centuries. This spicy scent works well with chocolate, hazelnut and fruit fragrances and is great at creating a more eastern inspired aroma in any room of the home.
If you prefer more fresh and uplifting aromas in your home interior then citrus scents are the perfect choice for you. Lemon and lime are great odour eliminators perfect for homes with pets or smokers and work particularly well in bathroom and kitchen interiors. Citrus fragrances can be teamed with sultry coconut scents for a tropical twist that brings a hint of summer holidays into the room no matter what the time of year. Other fruity fragrances such as strawberry, blueberry , fig and orange will create a fresh and feminine feel within your chosen room and can be teamed with vanilla or ice cream scents for a dessert inspired interior fragrance.
Botanical and garden inspired scents are perfect for bringing a sense of the outdoors, indoors all year around. French lavender is a gorgeous and classic fragrance that aides in relaxation and stress relief and creates a calming ambiance that is perfect for living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms. Other garden inspired scents such as rose, mint, lily and patchouli will also provide a relaxed and serene feel in your chosen room with an aroma that is not too overpowering or unusual. Sandalwood also works well in creating a stress free ambiance in the home and is a historic scent that is perfect for more traditional or rustic interior spaces.
If you cannot find a scent that suits your home and personality then don’t forget you can create your own! Essential oils can be mixed and matched to create a signature scent that is made up of all the elements that suit your needs. Mix classic aromas with modern scents or team masculine and feminine fragrances to create a truly unique fragrance that works for you.
