There’s something wonderfully captivating about a fragranced home. I mean, am I the only one who believes delicious scents have the ability to create a feeling of warmth and indulgence and comfort? I sure hope not…

But with so many scents on the market, it’s sometimes a little confusing when it comes to which scents belong where. Sure, the old school rules put lavender immediately in the bedroom and eucalyptus in the kitchen, but we’re in the mood for mixing things up. Yep, here are some fresh ideas on how to fragrance each and every room of your house using delightful scented candles and diffusers…

THE PERFECT SCENT FOR… the hallway
When guests or family members step into your home, you want them to feel welcomed, at ease and uplifted. You want something with a bit of zing; something that makes them feel happy…

THE PERFECT SCENT FOR… the kitchen
Although the kitchen is usually associated with delicious aromas from succulent meals, unwanted odours can also sneak in. Something citrusy is perfect, as it’ll not only mask the not-so-lovely scents, but also leave you feeling vibrant and energetic and ready for more cooking.
