Wash curtains and draperies, and avoid materials that collect moisture and create a musty smell. If you simply want to make the room smell nice, decide what mood you re trying to create. If you want to create a romantic environment, choose scents such as jasmine, gardenia, sandalwood, or rose. For a cozy winter environment, choose cinnamon, apple, berry, and pine. Some scents encourage activity and alertness, while others help people relax and unwind.
Candles are a great way to introduce scent into the home.
Not only do they smell wonderful, they also create a lovely glow and add to the room s visual appeal. Take care, however, not to burn candles near curtains or drapes. Place them in containers made for that purpose, and don t let them burn too long at one time. Some candles may contain toxins in their wicks, so they shouldn t be burned without proper air circulation. There are candle companies that advertise healthy wicks, with many wonderful scents to choose from.
