5 Tips That Makes ‘Scents’

Scent. It’s the secret of a stylish home, a sophisticated space, an inviting and warm house. It’s that underlying and yet key part of interiors, of making something special in a way that people can’t quite put a finger on; like it’s a feeling more than anything. Add some special scents of wax melts from Devon Wick that mean something to you and a house becomes a home, it’s as simple as that.

Of course, there is more method to the scent-spreading madness than most people realize, which is why we have come up with your definitive guide to using the right fragrances in the right spaces, something that will completely maximize your home’s je ne sais quoi – its ambiance.

1. The Hallway

This is that undervalued part of a home where first impressions are made, where you and your guests always get their welcome. As such, the trick to scenting this space is subtlety; using something that calms and welcomes rather than overpowers. Our advice: go for a woody smell – something with hints of cedarwood or leather. That’s will make your home more homely.

2. The Living Room

The one thing every living room wants to be is fresh and comfortable and cozy. That’s the dream ambiance. You want something with a hint of sweetness, something with a hint of honey or a pinch of vanilla, scents that you can usually find with a simple scented candle. If you’ve got a bigger than average living room, however, go for something a little sweeter-even, such as caramel. That will scent the room perfectly.

3. The Dining Room

This is probably the trickiest room in the home to scent and that’s because there is a balancing act to adore and adhere. You don’t want to pop a scent in there that’s so overpowering it will ruin family meals and yet you don’t want it to be so weak that the smell of food lingers for a long time after you’re done feasting. Our advice: go to the Aromatech website, click on that “contact us today” link and ask them about their Aromini device. This will give your room that light spritz with a scent of your choosing to keep it perfectly fresh.

4. The Kitchen

This is another tricky space to keep in a great smelling mood, which has a lot to do with so many different foods getting prepared and perfected. The best answer: keep it fifty shades of citrus. Lemons and limes will both cut through the unsavory smells and replace it with refreshing and calming scents. Of course, not everyone likes the obvious citrus smells, which is why you should try using oranges, tangerines, mandarins, and grapefruits to change it up from the classics. To do this, you could either slice some fruit up and pop it in a bowl, find some citrussy candles or get some room sprays. Whatever takes your fancy.

5. The Bathroom

A bathroom wants to be as clean smelling and refreshing as it does soothing and relaxing. To achieve this cocktail, your best bet is to invest in lots of bottles of that room spray you can’t get enough of. If, however, you’re more about that home spa feeling, then a display of scented candles is your best bet.
