Perfect Fragrances for Every Room in Your House

For me even getting the spelling right is hard, i.e room fragrancers, room fragrence and even room frangrance are just some of the corrections that the computer has shouted out at me.

But all spelling aside, this article will help you find the subtle home fragrances that are the best ways to make your home smell amazing. Level up by picking the best air fresheners for your home based on the activities in each room, not just the aromas you like.

Once you learn how to make scented candles from scratch you can customize the perfect scent for each room. However, scented oil warmers, sprays, and fragrance bags work just as well, as long as you choose a home fragrance that suits the situation.

Best Home Scents for Every Room in Your House

When choosing a room fragrance, think about the ambiance that you want to create in that specific space. Should it be a soothing and relaxing room fragance or something more fun and lively?

Once you have found the best home fragrance for you, think about how to deliver it. For the best impact, use a combination of methods like scented candles and ultrasonic diffusers. Finally, the best home scents are subtle to avoid a synthetic feeling and overwhelming you with aromas.

Read on for a fragrance inspiration for every room in the house. From the kitchen to the bedroom, there is a specific aroma to invite you in.

The Kitchen: Fresh and Natural

Orange, Apple, Cantaloupe

Perfect Fragrances for the Kitchen

Some of the best home fragrance products are the natural ones you make yourself, for the kitchen, they mask unfavorable odors but do not interfere with the mouth-watering scents from your home cooking. The combination of these requirements makes it slightly more difficult to find the right one.

But, whether you make them or buy them, a top tip for a kitchen aroma is to try and find Citrus or fruity aromas as they are a good overall solution, they are fresh enough to cut through any unwanted smells that can occasionally come from the trash can or drain yet not overpowering.

The Living Room: Subtle but Changing by Occasion

Jasmine, Berries, White Chocolate

Perfect Fragrances for the Living Room

This is the space where you have the most options because it depends on the occasion and season. For everyday use, try something subtle and floral like peonies or jasmine.

For when you have visitors or a small party, you can try a stronger sweeter scent like berries and tropical fragrances. You can also create a real mood by going with the season like pumpkin spice during fall.

The Bedroom: Soothing and Crisp for Bedtime

Lavender, Chamomile, White Musk

Perfect Fragrances for the Bedroom

The bedroom should be relaxing so you don’t want anything too sweet or otherwise overpowering. Look to aromatherapy for the best essential oils for in the bedroom.

Florals are the best choice because they are subtle and have therapeutic properties. For example, lavender and chamomile are great for a good night’s sleep while white musk has a slight woody layer that feels calming.

The Bathroom: Full of Luxury

Rose, Peach, Coconut

Perfect Fragrances for the Bathroom

The scent that you use in the bathroom should make you feel like you are walking into a spa. Bath bombs and crystals are so rich for a reason, after all.

Fruity and floral notes are great but you can also feel luxurious with something suggesting creaminess like vanilla and coconut. Tropical vibes also work fantastic in bathrooms when you want to take a moment for yourself and imagine that you are back on your favorite island.

The Dining Room: A Lovely Compliment to the Meal

Rosemary, Lemongrass, Honey

Perfect Fragrances for the Dining Room

Many of the fragrances that work in your kitchen also work for your dining room. However, since there are fewer smells to mask, you should probably go for an even lighter alternative so that the aromas from the dishes remain the central focus.

Herbs are a good choice because they can complement the dishes that you choose without being overpowering. The pro dinner party hostess move is lighting scented candles that smell like one of the herbs in the food that you are serving or are a natural accompaniment to them like milk and honey.

The Office: Something to Keep You Going

Coffee, Spearmint, Lemon

Perfect Fragrances for the Office

The office is a productive space so you want a scent that subtly encourages you to stay focused and keep working. This is a room where you could do with layering by using both an automatic spray and incense sticks, for example.

Coffee is an energizer and likely part of your morning routine so having this come back in your office can subconsciously trigger you to be active. Other fresh zingy scents are in the mint and citrus family.

The Hallway: Welcoming and Intriguing

Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cinnamon

Perfect Fragrances for the Hallway

This a space that is often forgotten but having a pleasant smell greets you as you come home can do wonders for your mood. Use an oil warmer with a timer that you plug into wall outlets for a consistent aroma without having to put in any effort.

The scent that welcomes you should be smooth and tickle your interest but it should not be too strong so that it doesn’t cause too much contrast with the outdoors. Light earthy essential oils are a good choice here because they are a nice transition from natural scents and also hide the smell from your shoes, a little.
