Take a whiff of air in your house. Is it fresh or is there an odor of mold and mildew or is it still fresh and smelling like a newly washed cloth? As smell plays a major role in influencing people’s moods, having a pleasant scent is essential for maintaining a positive environment.
Fresh flowers, balcony grills, and fresh and fragrance candles are what might pop into our mind while creating a concept of fragrant rooms. However, there are cheap and simple ways of combining freshness with fragrance to create the right home environment. Read on to discover 5 easy steps.
Open The Windows Daily
Keeping windows closed for days creates an environment in which dusty and stuffy air takes over your rooms. First thing in the morning, open all the windows to their maximum.
If this is a concern, you might want to consider investment in screens so that the bugs cannot fly in. Let clean air from the outside to flow freely in your home.
This first step is as easy as ABC but it contributes tremendously in reducing the stale odor. You will be surprised how much more energized you will feel!
Incorporate Flowers And Plants
They provide aesthetic value to your home through colors and nice smells and enhance the air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide while releasing oxygen into the environment.
Place several vases with bright flowers such as roses or lilies in several important rooms. Or, place toy flower pots on shelves and other flat surfaces. Also, buy a couple of low maintenance indoor plants.
Permitting live greenery to grow provides purposeful whiffs of good scent once in a while. It is a cheap and organic solution to expensive aerosol sprays. When flowers bloom and trees grow leaves, do not be blinded by how they raise the status of peace and serenity.
Consider Beeswax Candles
Indeed, scented candles bring an immediate positive vibe to a room. However, many incorporate artificial fragrances with poisonous chemicals that compromise the quality of your air.
However, one should consider using non-toxic beeswax candles. Natural honeybee beeswax has a subtle, sweet fragrance that highlights the fragrance of a sunny meadow.
Also, the candles emit negative ions which help remove dust and other particles in the surrounding air. Try different types of columns, ranging from thin and tall, like a candle, to thick and tall, like a pillar.
Use Essential Oils Wisely
These are extracted from different plants and maintaining their natural therapeutic values and benefits. Some of the common types of oils such as peppermint or eucalyptus contain highly concentrated fragrances.
When added to water and aerosolized with scent street, you will get a rather refreshing feeling, something akin to pipe freshness. But exercise care: pure oils are also dangerous in the sense that when used in large amounts or too concentrated, they can cause headache or increase sensitivity.
Do not diffuse for more than 30-60 minutes at a time, and at low intensity only. Also choose other oils also which do not have smell such as fractionated coconut oil for purifying without the smell.
Keep Surfaces Spotless
It may not necessarily be glamorous but eradicating smells entails clean working environments and spaces. Dust crumbs and clutter hold on to the stale odors. Schedule two days of the week for home cleaning.
Cleaning includes wiping countertops, mopping tile floors, vacuuming rugs etc. as this reduces dirt accumulation and the rooms smell fresh. Enhance freshness by washing all household fabrics that include curtains, throw blankets or cushion covers frequently.
Worn-out sponges and an empty garbage can should also be replaced now and then. It is rather time-consuming; however, clean territories promote fresh, clear, and nice smelling air rather than the stink.

When you implement this five-step process, your rooms will become warm and inviting and will serve to soothe and enhance your mood.
