The dream of many is to have a house that is always fresh, cool, and full of inspiration. However, buying essential oils or scented candles can be expensive, and cheap products often use chemicals that can be harmful to health in the long run.
But don’t worry, there are simple and cost-effective ways to make your house smell nice by utilizing the natural scents from plants and other available materials.
1. Baked Apples
To create a pleasant scent in your house, simply bake an apple or make a batch of apple pie with brown sugar and butter. The smell of baked goods will make your home feel cozy and they taste amazing!
2. Herbs
If you’re worried about your kitchen smelling like food, try using herbs such as mint or thyme leaves. Simply rub the leaves on a cool light bulb before turning it on. When the light bulb warms up, it will emit a pleasant scent.
3. Hot Tea
Cook a pot of hot tea and let it simmer all day. The steam from the tea will create a refreshing scent in your home. You can choose different types of tea to create unique scents, such as orange, cinnamon, or vanilla.
4. Cinnamon – Pine Cones
A combination of pine cones and cinnamon sticks can create a warm and fragrant scent. Simply place them in a glass jar and open it to release the scent throughout the room.
5. DIY Natural Essential Oils
You can also create your own natural essential oils at home. Combine your favorite scents in a glass bottle, add water, and refrigerate until you’re ready to use them. Pour the oils into a heat-resistant bowl placed on an oil burner to release the scent faster.
