Essential Oil Room Spray

Ditch the hidden toxins in the fragrances of a store-bought room freshener spray! Swap it with this 3 ingredient essential oil room spray. Easy to make and replace as needed. My favorite part of this natural air freshener spray is how customizable it is. Fit the scent to any season!

Adding homemade personal touches to your home doesn’t have to stop with items, such as my faux ceramic vases. Making the aroma of the space your own is so special. It's just another lovely way to showcase your style and make your house a home.

Any item I see in our home that says "fragrance" gets immediately tossed in the trash. We never have room sprays because of this! Making my own clean version of this product allows me to enjoy it without any questions creeping into my mind about what is even in it. I also don’t want anything with an overpowering scent. Using essential oils means I can control how much goes in by the drop! A light, subtle, and beautiful scent is all that is left in the room with this DIY!
