The easiest and most popular way to enhance your home’s fragrance is by using a diffuser to gently disperse a heatless, fine mist into the air to stimulate your senses. Low-level warm lighting which can be adjusted to suit your mood, as well as calming music, also aids relaxation by recreating the soothing atmosphere of a luxury spa.
When considering which diffuser to get, think about all of the features you want (or don’t) and where you will place it. For example: will it go in your child’s room? Look for a diffuser with LED lights to act as a nightlight. Alternatively, if you are photosensitive, opt for a model without lights. If you only want it to run for a small period of time, look for a diffuser with a built-in timer. If you fancy something that runs overnight, make sure it has a large-capacity basin.
If you plan on moving your diffuser between rooms—or even to another house or flat—look for one with a locking lid. This will ensure that any remaining water or oil doesn’t spill out in your car or onto you. If it will stay in place and you have the space, try looking at larger models.
Get more use out of a diffuser by choosing a model which can also be used as a humidifier or air purifier when you don’t want to use your essential oils. All you need to do is fill it with water and press the power button.
