When you walk into a room, you’re immediately enveloped by a pleasant scent.
But there’s no need for chemicals to perfume your room, because there are simple and effective home remedies to do just that. Discover how to use essential oils, dried plants and other tricks to transform your bedroom into a fragrant paradise.
Capture aromas with an essential oil diffuser
An essential oil diffuser can be your best ally in bringing a wonderful scent into your room. Not only does it diffuse the aroma of the essential oil throughout the room via steam, but it can also be a decorative element that adds a touch of elegance to your space. By choosing essential oils such as lavender, bergamot or lemon balm, you can promote relaxation and better sleep.
The secret of the essential oil-scented pillow
Creating a relaxing, fragrant atmosphere in your bedroom doesn’t take much. As well as airing your room daily and changing your sheets regularly, you can add a few drops of essential oil to your pillow. Essential oil of lavender or another aromatic plant you like will be ideal for promoting relaxation and quality sleep.
Dried plant sachets: a natural fragrance for your cupboards
To prevent your clothes from taking on a musty smell, consider placing sachets of dried plants in your closets. Lavender, rosemary or mint are just some of the plants that can be used. Not only will these sachets perfume your wardrobes, they will also help to purify the air by preventing unpleasant odors.
Try Florida water for a fragrant ambience
Rather than using chemical air fresheners, why not create your own healthy home fragrance? You can make eau de Floride by mixing alcohol, rose hydrosol and the essential oils of your choice. You can also add natural ingredients such as orange, lemon, rosemary or cinnamon for a personalized touch. Spray this blend in your room and enjoy a pleasantly scented atmosphere.
Say goodbye to unpleasant odors with baking soda
If your room smells damp or musty, baking soda can be your best ally. Simply place a container of baking soda in the room to absorb unpleasant odours and eliminate that unpleasant smell.
Create your own lavender incense
Lavender incense is a natural, fragrant option for purifying the air in your room. To make it, simply gather 12 lavender sprigs of the same size and tie them together with a thread. Leave to dry for around 15 days, then burn the top part to release the fragrant smoke into the room. Then air the room to renew the air.
Scent your room while vacuuming
Even when you’re vacuuming, you can scent your room. Simply place a few drops of essential oil on a cotton pad and place it in the vacuum cleaner bag. This way, every time you vacuum, the aromas will be diffused throughout the room.
Embellish your bedroom with aromatic plants
As well as scenting, aromatic plants can add a touch of greenery and freshness to your room. Choose plants such as lavender, fragrant geranium, indoor lemon tree, lily, jasmine, rosemary, gardenia, balsam or freesia for their pleasant scent. Not only will they make your room fragrant, they’ll also help purify the air.
With all these natural tips, transform your bedroom into a fragrant paradise and enjoy a pleasant, relaxing environment.
