Why Choose a DIY Room Spray for Better Sleep and Relaxation?

There are countless reasons to create your own room spray. Here are a few benefits:

  • Natural Ingredients: Avoid harmful chemicals found in many commercial sprays.

  • Customizable: Tailor the scent to your personal preferences.

  • Cost-Effective: Save money by making your own.

  • Eco-Friendly: Reduce waste by reusing your spray bottle.


Ingredients You’ll Need

  1. Essential Oils: Choose your favorite scents. Some popular options include:

  • Lavender: Calming and relaxing.

  • Lemon: Fresh and invigorating.

  • Peppermint: Energising and refreshing.

  • Eucalyptus: Cleansing and rejuvenating.

  1. Distilled Water: Helps dilute the essential oils and allows for a light mist.

  2. Witch Hazel or Vodka: Acts as a natural preservative and helps the oil mix with water.

  3. A Spray Bottle: Preferably glass to preserve the integrity of the essential oils.


How to Make Your DIY Room Spray for Better Sleep and Relaxation


Step 1: Prepare Your Bottle

  • Clean your spray bottle thoroughly to ensure no residue affects your new mix.


Step 2: Add Essential Oils

  • Depending on the size of your spray bottle, add 15-20 drops of essential oils. For a 2-ounce bottle, this is usually the right amount. Mix and match oils to create your desired scent blend.


Step 3: Add Witch Hazel or Vodka

  • Fill the bottle about 1/3 of the way with witch hazel or vodka. This helps the essential oils mix with the water and acts as a natural preservative.


Step 4: Add Distilled Water

  • Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water, leaving a little space at the top to allow for mixing.


Step 5: Shake and Label

  • Shake the bottle well to combine the ingredients. Label your spray with the name of your scent blend and the date.

Tips for Using Your DIY Room Spray

  • Shake Before Each Use: Essential oils can separate, so give your bottle a good shake before spraying.


  • Test First: Spray a small amount in an inconspicuous area to ensure it doesn’t stain or react with surfaces.


  • Store Properly: Keep your spray bottle in a cool, dark place to preserve the oils’ potency.
