Rather than buying one, consider making your own DIY room spray with essential oils. Essential oils—extracted from leaves, fruit peels, petals, and other plant parts—capture nature's subtle fragrances and can refresh your living space. That's why writer Anusha Rajeswaran decided to create this all-natural spray, which you can spritz throughout every room in your home. All you'll need to recreate this project is unscented witch hazel, dried flowers, distilled water, and your favorite essential oils. You can mix and match the former for a signature scent: Try combinations like wild orange and tea tree, lavender and rose, or green tea and cucumber. 7 Ways to Make Your Whole House Smell Amazing What You'll Need Materials Spray bottles Essential oils Distilled water Unscented witch hazel Dried flowers Instructions Add essential oils: Martha Stewart Pour 25 to 30 drops of essential oil in your bottle.
