Why Scent Matters in Interior Design
When we think of interior design, we often think of color, furniture, and lighting. But what about scent? Scent in interior design plays a powerful and often overlooked role in shaping how we feel in a space.
-
Memory and Mood Connection
Scent is the strongest sense tied to memory. A familiar fragrance can evoke nostalgia, peace, or even energize a room. Think of warm vanilla in a reading nook, or citrus in a lively kitchen. -
Fragrance Zoning
Assign different scents to different areas of your home. Use calming lavender in bedrooms, fresh eucalyptus in bathrooms, and crisp grapefruit in living spaces. -
Subtle is Key
Choose high-quality candles or diffusers like those offered by House of Barrie. They deliver fragrance that is refined and long-lasting, never overpowering.
Incorporating scent into your interiors can subtly elevate your home’s atmosphere, making it more welcoming and truly complete.
