10 Easy Ways to Make Your Home Smell Amazing

Creating a fresh-smelling home isn’t just about cleanliness (although that precedes everything)—it’s about creating an experience that feels warm and welcoming every time you walk through the door.

We’ve all walked into homes that smell inviting and warm, creating an instant sense of comfort, what if your home could smell that good all the time?

Whether you’re getting ready for guests or simply want to enjoy a more pleasant space, these 10 easy tips will have your home smelling amazing in no time.

1. Clean the House Regularly

   One of the best ways to keep your home smelling fresh is to clean regularly. Dust, dirt, and grime can accumulate and produce unpleasant odours over time. Sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming your floors and wiping down surfaces ensures bad smells don’t linger.

2. Air Out Your Rooms

   If your home feels stuffy, a simple fix is to open up the windows. Fresh air not only reduces mustiness but also helps to naturally clear out any lingering odors. Even just 10 minutes a day can make a huge difference.

3. Take Out the Trash

   It sounds simple, but taking out the trash frequently can make a big difference. Trash bins, especially in the kitchen, can harbor food scraps and other odour-causing waste. To minimise smells, make sure you empty your trash daily, and give the bin itself a good clean afterwards.

4. Use Reed Diffusers for Continuous Fragrance

   Reed diffusers are a great way to keep your home smelling fresh all day long, without having to remember to light a candle. They're low-maintenance and provide a subtle, consistent scent. Our Sugar Baby reed diffuser is perfect for those who prefer sweet, fruity aromas, our Kingsmen diffuser adds a more masculine touch, while our Private Jets reed diffuser adds the ultimate sophistication to any space (it's my favourite but shush).

5. Use Home Sprays for a Quick Refresh

   Need a quick burst of freshness? Home sprays are your best friend. A few spritzes of our Tease envelops your space in the irresistible blend of coconut, bergamot, and amber, creating a playful, seductive atmosphere that lingers, Homebody wraps your space in the soothing notes of grapefruit, ginger, and tea—perfect for creating a peaceful, comforting retreat where you can truly relax and unwind, Vacation Home fills your space with the warmth of clove, pineapple, and ginger—bringing the essence of tropical getaways and cozy relaxation into your home or Piña Colada delivers a tropical paradise in a bottle, blending creamy coconut and juicy pineapple with hints of jasmine. One spritz transports you to a sunny beach getaway, infusing your space with a refreshing, exotic vibe. Home sprays will instantly refresh any room, leaving a long-lasting scent that’s sure to impress. Keep one handy in high-traffic areas like the living room or hallway for on-the-spot spritzing.
