Colorado, Christmas:
Today, Erik Cavarra highlights different ways in which you can add that special touch to your Home during the Holidays.
This article is about how to add fragrance to your Home this Christmas. Decorating with fragrance can enhance the welcoming feeling for your guests as they enter.
Everyone enjoys entering a house that smells great. Christmas time is a special time when there are more activities and more company. So a great smelling house is a nice invitation to come on in.
Of course, there is nothing that smells better than a clean house. So that must be your first step. Once your house is spotless, and you have gotten rid of all the smells that attach themselves to walls and drapesand carpets. Then you are ready to add fragrance.
Fragrance can come in the shape of room sprays and carpet fresh and solid fragrance plug-ins. But with Christmas, you have many more choices available.
The smell of fresh greens and pinecones add to the Christmas feeling of your home. They make it smell fresh and clean and outdoorsy. If you do not use fresh greens or pinecones in your decorating, just compensate with sprays or candles.
It is really nice to add fragrance that smells like food. You can accomplish this by adding cinnamon sticks to your décor. Another beautiful way to add fragrance at Christmas is to make a pomander. You accomplish this by covering an orange with whole cloves. It is then rolled in cinnamon and smells just wonderful.
Of course, the best way to add fragrance that smells like food is by cooking and baking. If you can, and you are about to have guests come. Why not make something that smells delicious. Some things that come to mind are homemade bread, cookies, apple pie and mulled apple cider. Any time you cook something good, the fragrance in your house, says welcome. Remember this can also backfire, if you’re not paying attention, and the smell of something that burned is not inviting.
To me, you cannot have Christmas, unless you have scented candles. I burned them for weeks and enjoy them daily. It leaves the house with a beautiful scent. Now Glade has several products that are beautiful and economical with a wonderful fragrance.
For a house that smells wonderful for Christmas, just keep some of these ideas in mind. Your home will say welcome to family and friends and sets the mood and expectations for a great time.
