1. KEEP FURNITURE CLEAN
One of the easiest ways odors will work their way into your entryway is in furniture, rugs and doormats, so make sure you give them a regular deep clean so they exude a nice fragrance. Deep cleaning is important since you can't simply mask a bad smell with a nice one because it will still linger underneath.
2. BANISH SHOE SMELLS
As one of the biggest sources of entryway odors, shoes should be regualrly deodorized. There are a few ways to do this including treating the shoes directly and closed-door hallway shoe storage ideas to banish shoe smells.
3. KEEP YOUR ENTRYWAY WELL VENTILATED AND DRY
Tom Nolan, home improvement expert and founder of All Star Home, suggests, 'One of the most important features of any nice-smelling entryway is moisture management. This might be unexpected, but one of the primary causes of odors in an entryway is caused by moisture.
4. KEEP PET AREAS CLEAN
If you have pets then owning one of the best vacuums for pet hair and using it regularly to keep fur and dander from making its way into furniture and upholstery where it is harder to clean, trapping the smell, is a must.
5. CHOOSE A FRAGRANCE
Laili Kafi González, Feng Shui expert and interior designer at Meazured Life suggests, 'Selecting a signature scent will set the tone for you and your guests as you enter your home. Whether you like to choose candles, diffusers or even fresh flowers to set this scent, ensure they are high quality non synthetic fragrances and that they are regularly replaced or refilled.
6. EMBED SCENTS
Joseph Melara, owner and interior designer at Residential Brokers recommends, 'Add fragrant accents to the design of your foyer. For instance, you might utilize fragrant drawer liners in your console table for the foyer', or in shoe and coat cabinets.
7. USE AIR FRESHENING PLANTS
Using air cleaning indoor plants can be a great natural way to improve air quality, while fragranced blooms can mask odors and make your entryway smell nice. Plants that can naturally purify the air include peace lilies, spider plants, and gerber daisies.
