Our bathrooms will be unattended most of the time, especially if it is a downstairs toilet cloakroom, for example. So, it’s not particularly wise to leave a lit candle burning as it can pose a safety risk. A reed diffuser, on the other hand, can be a great fuss-free way to fragrance a bathroom, especially smaller bathrooms. They also serve as a nice decorative feature too.
As they can last anywhere from three to six months, you can essentially leave the reed diffuser to do its thing. Just remember to rotate the reed sticks every so often to get the most out of your chosen fragrance.
You could also opt for a room spray, which will allow you to fragrance the space as and when you need to. Instead of immediately picking up a traditional air freshener, which can sometimes be a bit too strong for small spaces, a room spray will even allow you to refresh towels, bath mats and even shower curtains, as well as the room more generally.
And when it comes to using candles, lighting one when you take a soak in the bath will not only add a lovely fragrance to the room but the candlelight can also add a beautiful ambience as you lie and relax. This would be the one time that we would recommend choosing a candle, just as long as you remember to blow it out when you leave the room. The same can be said for oil burners.
