How to Scent Your Space Effectively

The right candle can make all the difference when creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home. However, not all candles are created equal, especially in size. Understanding how candle sizes affect scent throws can help you choose the perfect one for each room in your home. Here’s a guide to help you select the ideal candle size to fill your space with delightful fragrance, along with tips for using our reed diffusers and ScentMist oils.

At Hushwood, we are experts in crafting intensely scented candles. This guide is designed to help you fully appreciate the bold aroma of our candles, ensuring a delightful experience without overwhelming your olfactory system.

1. Medium Candles

Best for: Small spaces, like bathrooms or small bedrooms.

Our medium candles are perfect for scenting compact areas. They are great for bathrooms or small bedrooms without overwhelming the space. Consider placing them on sinktops, shelves, or nightstands to add a hint of scent without overpowering the room. Remember to keep them off window sills and away from curtains or blinds.

2. Large Candles

Best for: Living rooms, dining areas, or large bedrooms.

Large candles are ideal for bigger rooms where you want to enjoy a more pronounced fragrance without becoming too overwhelming. These candles can fill your living room or dining area with inviting scents during gatherings, creating a warm and welcoming environment for family and friends.

3. Extra Large Candles

Best for: Open spaces, such as large living rooms, entryways, or outdoor areas.

Extra Large candles are designed to fill expansive spaces with robust aromas. Perfect for open-concept living areas or outdoor patios, these candles provide a powerful scent throw that can be felt throughout the room. Their size means they can burn for longer periods, allowing you to enjoy their fragrance for hours. Place them strategically in corners or on coffee tables to ensure the scent circulates effectively. 

4. Reed Diffusers

Reed diffusers are not just a way to scent your home continuously; they are a stylish and safe option. With no maintenance required, simply flip the reeds to refresh the fragrance. Ideal for larger spaces, they provide a steady stream of scent without the need for flames, adding an elegant touch to your home.

5. ScentMist Oils

ScentMist oils are a versatile addition to your home fragrance collection. A few drops in a diffuser or burner can instantly transform your space. They are long-lasting and safe to use around pets, giving you the power to enjoy your favourite scents without worry.
