How to Make Your Home Smell Like Fall

Don't you love walking into your home on a cool fall day and smelling the scents of cinnamon or apples? It makes your home feel more welcoming and makes your heart smile.

If you want your home to smell heavenly, there are a few easy things you can do. Whether you use an essential oil diffuser or bake, you can make your home smell like fall.

Use an Essential Oil Diffuser

An essential oil diffuser is an easy and natural way to make your home smell like fall.

You can use a variety of scents to create your own custom blend. For example, try mixing cinnamon and orange. You can also choose to just use cinnamon. There are a number of different diffusers on the market. Find one that meets your needs.

Burn an Autumn Candle

If essential oils aren't your thing, you can always burn a fall scented candle in scents like cinnamon, apples, pumpkin, or cloves.

Make Spiced Apple Cider

If you want to fill your home with the scent of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, pour a gallon of apple cider into a large stockpot and add your favorite whole spices. Allow the cider to gently simmer over low heat and the scent of the spices will fill your home. You can also do spiced cranberry juice.

Make a Simmer Pot

If you don't have spiced apple cider on hand, you can make a simmer pot on your stove or slow cooker with water, cinnamon sticks, orange or lemon slices, cloves, vanilla, or apples. Or you can add a few drops of essential oils if you don't have a diffuser.

Just check your pot periodically to make sure that it doesn't go dry.

Bake

Nothing fills your home with amazing fall scents like baking does. The best part about baking is that you get to eat what you're smelling. Whether you're baking fresh bread or apple pie, your home will smell amazing.

Remember that you can't go wrong baking anything that has cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice in it.

If you don't have time to bake, you can also put 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract in an oven safe dish and bake it at 300 for an hour.

Hit the Air Freshener Aisle

Last but not least, if you want things to be incredibly simple, just hit the air freshener aisle at your favorite store.

You'll find a variety of fall scents in sprays, candles, wax melts, liquid potpourri, and more. There are so many different products to choose from. If you want to save money, make sure to check coupon inserts. You can almost always find a coupon for some brand of air freshener. Match those coupons to sales to save even more money.

If you want to embrace fall, why not make your home smell like fall? Whether you simmer apple cider over the stove or purchase air fresheners, you can make your home smell wonderful this fall.

Of course, if you want to also enjoy a nice treat, why not bake something? There's nothing that smells more like fall than baking an apple or pumpkin pie.
