I've been seeing so many "cozy crib" setups lately, and it seems like scented candles are practically mandatory. But honestly,I think they're often more distracting than comforting. The artificial scents, even the "natural" ones, can be overpowering and even trigger headaches or allergies for some people. I much prefer a clean,fresh scent from simply opening a window or using a quality air purifier.
Plus, the open flame aspect introduces a safety concern, especially with pets or small children around. There are so many other ways to create a cozy atmosphere – layered lighting, soft textures like blankets and rugs, maybe even a calming soundscape through speakers.
Does anyone else find scented candles a bit overrated in the pursuit of a truly relaxing and cozy home? Maybe I'm just sensitive to scents, but I'm curious if others prioritize other elements over the ubiquitous candle. What are your go-to, non-scented candle, methods for creating a relaxing ambiance?
