While you are designing your interiors, you can take things a notch higher by incorporating fragrances in your living space.
Incorporating fragrances in your house can breathe life into your space.
When figuring out how to design or decorate a home, visual elements such as furniture selection, colour schemes, texture blends, and lighting fixtures often take the centre stage. However, fragrance is an essential element that is frequently overlooked during the planning process. Much like a decorative throw pillow or a thoughtfully chosen piece of artwork, fragrance can transform your living space, breathing life into your surroundings.
The Power of Scent in Interior Design
Being one of the most personal and deep designs an individual’s space can possess, fragrance has a unique relationship with memory and emotions. Ridhima Kansal, Director of Roosemoore notes, “While a space might visually appear to be cozy, having hints of sandalwood or vanilla wafting through the air makes it feel like home. Scents that match a decor style are essential, as they help create a sense of balance and harmony in the rooms, allowing every guest to notice this the moment they enter.”
Match Your Fragrance to Your Home Aesthetic
Here’s how you can pair scents with popular interior styles.
Rustic and Farmhouse Aesthetics – Cozy and warm spices (clove, cinnamon) and earthy woody scents such as cedarwood complement materials such as reclaimed wood, woven baskets, textiles, and other natural textures. Cedar wood and sandalwood scents also characterize warmth.
Modern Minimalist Interiors – The scent of lemon, bergamot, and grapefruit, along with green fragrances such as bamboo and aloe, complements the sleek lines and neutral palette. These enhancements echo the freshness and clarity of the design breath, adding fresh clarity to the space’s composure.
Bohemian and Eclectic Homes – Think of bold global styles and layered textiles with bold patterns. Incense scents of patchouli and frankincense or floral fusion jasmine and rose will add warmth and evoke creativity and mystique.
Coastal or Mediterranean Vibes – Sea and sun-inspired homes call for lavender and marine scents of sea salt, ocean breeze, and citrus-herbal like lemon and basil. These scents match whitewashed walls and beach elements while adding a refreshing and breezy feel.
Luxe and Glamorous Spaces – For homes adorned with dramatic colour palettes, soft velvet textures, and statement lighting, accent them with rich florals such as tuberose and peony, amber, or oud. These bold additions are sure to elevate the already luxurious impression and aesthetics.
