There’s something truly transformative about scent. One little flick of a tealight and your whole home shifts—softer, calmer, cosier, more “you.” But just like music or lighting, some fragrances work better in certain spaces.
Here’s how to choose the right wax melt for each room in your home, based on mood, function, and vibe.
Bedroom: Calm, Comfort, and Cocooning
This is your sanctuary. Think soft, soothing, and sleep-friendly.

You don’t want anything too sweet or heavy competing with cooking smells—go for crisp and zesty.
