The Best Fragrant Flowers For Your Home

American writer, Laura Ingalls Wilder got it right when she said “home is the nicest word there is”. Since we spend so much of our time in our homes with the people we care about, it makes sense we want to make our homes beautiful and comfortable. One simple and affordable way to spruce up your home is with flowers. In fact, there’s a lot of psychology behind why we love flowers and how flowers can be used for enhancing certain moods.

Fragrant floral ideas for your home

Often it’s the little details that make all the difference. Flowers can be the just the touch you need to add a fresh feel, an elegant touch or simply a beautiful fragrance. We’ve compiled these five floral ideas for sprucing up your home in a jiffy.

Add a dash of elegance with white hyacinths
Is your home already full of bright and colourful furnishings? When in doubt, white flowers are a great choice. They’re a dash of texture, elegance and simple beauty that everyone will love.

We recommend white hyacinths for their sweet fragrance and delicate shape. Place them in pots around your home for a chic decoration that works with your current interiors, no matter the colour scheme or style. With a little love and attention, your hyacinths can flourish for years to come!

Add a pop of colour with pink sweet peas
For centuries, humans have cultivated sweet peas for their luscious fragrance and bright colours. For those reasons alone, they’re the perfect addition to your living room. If muted colours are dominant features in your interior design, a splash of colour here and there is just what you need to brighten things up.

Keep in mind that not all modern sweet peas are bred with fragrance, so make sure you check with your florist or read the label carefully.

Add a fresh feel with lavender
Flower. Aromatic. Medicine. Lavenders have been used in so many ways, over millennia of human existence. From ancient Roman soldiers dressing their wounds with lavender oil, to ancient Egyptians who created cosmetics from it, this vibrant flower has so many uses.

For today’s home dwellers, lavender is the perfect flower and herb to adorn your home. Scatter pots of lavender around your home to add that pop of colour and fresh feel. Everyone will love the fragrant flowers and aromatic foliage, especially for dishing up delicious meals with a fun garnish.

Home is where the heart is

At the end of the day, home is where the heart is. So often, flowers speak a language that resonates and evokes all those emotions that we’re feeling. Whether it’s red roses for love or peonies for prosperity and romance, flowers are a beautiful language of their own! With beautiful and simple arrangements, you can incorporate beautiful florals in a way that adds a lovely fragrance and a fresh feel to your home, while also saying something special.
