10 Natural Ways To Make Your Home Smell Amazing
I think it’s pretty common for all of us to want to have homes that smell inviting and welcoming throughout the year. I know that it puts me in a good mood when the house is all clean, and everything smells good and refreshing. Don’t you? Here are some reasons why using natural air fresheners is such a great idea.
- You are in charge of what your home smells like. Have you ever purchased an aerosol spray air freshener, and when you spray it the first time, you realize how horrible it smells? When you make your own scents, you get to be in charge of the way it smells. Use ingredients that you enjoy, so you are bound to love it.
- Making your own air fresheners is a great way to save money. Making your own air fresheners is a great way to be frugal and save money. We all know that’s a huge benefit!
- There aren’t harsh chemicals in natural air fresheners. When you buy something commercially prepared, you have no idea what is in it. I can just about promise that just because it smells good, it doesn’t mean that it’s not full of unhealthy ingredients. Many of those chemicals are things you aren’t going to want you or your family to breathe in.
- A home or space that smells good is a great way to boost your mood. If you are having a rough day and use a natural air freshener, it’s surprising how much it can lift your mood. Give it a try and see for yourself!

These are such good ideas! Much better than chemical air fresheners that can trigger migraines. I like to spray my essential oil spray on the heat vents so that it diffuses when the heat comes on.
