Most people struggle with their bedroom smelling nice and it can be hard to find something that smells good and isn’t too expensive. However, there are a lot of ways you can make your room smell good. For example, you could use scented candles or potpourri sticks. We will go into detail about when to use each one and how they work in the following blog post.
When should I use scented candles?
Scented candles are perfect for when you’re by yourself at night or if you want your bed to smell amazing. They emit a fragrance into the air that’s perfect for relaxation before bed, which is why most people sleep with them on their nightstands next to their beds.
When should I use potpourri sticks?
Potpourri sticks are great for filling the air of your bedroom with a fresh scent. You can get them from places like The Yankee Candle Company, Natural Grocers and other stores that sell home goods. They usually cost about $5 to $10 for a pack of 4 so it’s a little more expensive than a candle but the smell is much better and you don’t need to worry about it burning out too quickly.
Tips on how to make your bedroom smell good with scented candles:
- Placing your candle at least 15 inches away from your bed is important because they can sometimes be very strong. This will ensure that the scent isn’t too strong;
- Make sure you don’t leave your candle lit for long periods of time. Be sure to blow them out before you go to sleep or at least every 2 hours;
- Try to get scented candles that are vanilla flavored in order to make your room smell like cookies! This is because vanilla is known for making things smell good and calming;
- Try using lavender scented candles because they can help you sleep better and relax your body before bedtime, which makes us feel more refreshed in the morning;
- If you get the vanilla scented candles, try to use them a little while before you go to sleep so they burn properly and release the scent;
- Don’t worry if your candles don’t smell as strong when they’re melted. It’s normal and they’ll be just as strong when they’re not melted as long as you keep them away from the bed;
- Don’t try to use wooden holders for your candle, it can melt and start a fire. Use metal or ceramic holders instead.
Tips on how to make your bedroom smell good with potpourri sticks:
- Use your potpourri sticks during the day in order to fill the air with a nice scent. This is because the scent wears down over time;
- If you plan on using them, make sure you don’t burn them for a long period of time. You’ll see that after about 3 hours or less the smell will get weaker, which is why we recommend using them at night so they can give off their scent longer;
- Make sure to use the right size potpourri sticks. It’s important that they are small enough to fit in your bathroom and small enough to fit in a drawer but large enough to release a nice smell when they’re burning.
Bottom line
These are great ways to make your bedroom smell good. However, you’ll find they’re only temporary because after a while the scent wears off. But, when you combine them with our other tips listed above you’ll be sure to make your room smell amazing for at least a few hours which will help you relax and sleep better.
