When your home smells wonderful, you feel wonderful. Natural fragrance options are even better because they don’t expose you to harsh chemicals that can irritate your eyes, skin, or lungs.

Artificial fragrances don’t hold a candle to natural options when creating a comforting, inviting home. Speaking of which, beeswax candles are just one of our many suggestions for making your house smell heavenly.

Let’s dive into 12 ways to create soothing scents that will completely transform your home’s atmosphere. 

1. Light Up Natural Beeswax Candles

Relaxing in the glow of natural beeswax candles can help you unwind when you've had a long, hard day. They also have a subtle honeyed scent that makes any home feel more cozy.

Our all-natural beeswax designer candles come in romantic designs like flowers, birds, and seashells to bring your set-up together. 

2. Set Up Some Cinnamon Sticks

If you crave rustic scents, stick some cinnamon sticks in a few glass jars and set them around the house. Cinnamon sticks are an affordable and long-lasting natural fragrance, usually keeping their scent for a few years!

3. Purchase a Few Flower Vases

Flowers are a tried-and-tested way of freshening up the home (and they also look gorgeous). Fill a few vases with flowers like lavender, jasmine, or gardenia. 

If you have pets, though, go for non-toxic options like roses or petunias.

4. Hang Up Wall Wreaths

Wall wreaths often come with dried flowers, leaves, or pinecones to make your home smell like a lush forest trail. Hang a few of these up in the hallway and on your doors for the best results.

5. Simmer Some Stovetop Potpourri 

Want your home to smell like the holidays? Alongside lighting a few holiday candles, you can boil cinnamon sticks, star anise, and orange slices to make a delightful natural home fragrance.

6. Open Up a Jar of Floral Potpourri 

Floral potpourri smells great for months and can be mixed with nearly any combination of flowers or plants. We recommend mint, basil, marigolds, and rose leaves for a classic, easygoing aroma.

7. Make Your Own Dried Fruit Potpourri 

If you want to experiment with your natural fragrance options, make potpourri out of dried fruit (such as orange rinds and dried apples). You can sprinkle on cinnamon or herbs to add even more complexity.

8. Wash Your Blankets and Pillows

Sometimes your home doesn’t smell good because you have blankets, throws, and pillows collecting dust. Give them a wash and enjoy how much fresher your home smells afterwards!

9. Save Your Coffee Grounds

If you’re a fan of coffee, you’ll be glad to know coffee grounds can trap stubborn odours and make your home smell fresh. After brewing a pot, keep your grounds in a little cup and set them around the house for a day or two.(Having a natural home fragrance that smells like coffee is another benefit!)

10. Clean Out Your Vents

Dirty, clogged vents can make a stuffy home smell even worse. Wipe down the vents in your air conditioner or replace the filters – you’ll notice a huge difference!

11. Open Your Windows Frequently 

Sometimes we’re too busy to air our home out on a regular basis, trapping old odours like dust, dirt, or mildew. When you invite nature’s peace into your home, you also bring in natural scents from surrounding trees and plants. 

Open your windows for an hour or two a few times a week for maximum freshness.

12. Cook and Bake at Home

Cooking and baking is a soothing activity with a delicious result – they also make your home smell wonderful! Try baking recipes like banana bread, oatmeal cookies, or chicken soups to give your home a gentle aroma.
