A Home Filled with Christmas Scents
3 simple and inexpensive methods to fill your home with Christmas scents and enhance the holiday atmosphere.
Essential Oils
Add a few drops of essential oils to the mop water and to the water you use for cleaning windows, floor tiles and wall tiles. Use cinnamon or pine oils now. Not only will it smell wonderful, but essential oils also have a disinfecting effect. You can maintain this habit throughout the year, just changing the scents according to the season or your mood.
Oranges and Cloves
Pierce oranges with a needle or the tip of a knife and insert cloves. Create patterns all over the orange surface. Not only will they look beautiful under the Christmas tree, but your whole house will smell wonderful.
Coffee and Candles
Fill cappuccino cups with coffee beans. Place a candle in the middle and bury it in the coffee. When they burn, the coffee aroma will spread throughout the house. Imagine: these candles and homemade baked goods... mmmm... your home will smell like a Viennese coffee house.
