Choosing a scent for every room

Fresh in the kitchen, floral in the bedroom, something sweet in the lounge. A simple guide to matching scents to spaces.

The right scent can change how a room feels. There are no rules, but if you are not sure where to begin, here is how we like to match scent families to different spaces.

Kitchen: fresh and fruity

Kitchens collect cooking smells, so clean, bright scents work well here. Think fresh linen, citrus and crisp fruity fragrances that lift the room without clashing with food.

Living room: sweet and welcoming

This is where you relax and where guests gather, so go for something warm and inviting. Sweet scents like vanilla and bakery-style fragrances make a room feel cosy.

Bedroom: soft florals

Gentle floral scents such as lavender and rose suit a room that is all about winding down. Keep it light, and remember to blow out your tealight before you go to sleep.

Bathroom: clean and spa-like

Fresh cotton, sea-breeze and other clean scents give a bathroom that just-cleaned, spa feeling.

Hallway: your signature scent

The hallway is the first thing people notice when they walk in. Choose the scent you love most and make it the one people remember your home by.

And for the seasons

Swapping scents with the seasons is half the fun. Spiced and berry fragrances in autumn and winter, fresh florals in spring, and fruity, tropical scents for summer.

Our shop lets you filter by scent family, so you can browse Fresh, Floral, Fruity, Sweet, Halloween and Christmas and find a match for every room.
