Ingredients You’ll Need
- Distilled water: Helps keep your spray clear and free from impurities.

- Essential oils: Your favorite essential oil or a calming scent blend.
- Glass spray bottle: A reusable, eco-friendly choice that helps preserve the integrity of your oil room spray.
How to Make Room Spray
- Fill your bottle halfway with distilled water.
- Add 1–2 tablespoons of witch hazel or rubbing alcohol.
- Drop in 20–30 drops of essential oils. Choose a scent that lifts your mood or creates the perfect ambiance—lavender for a calming linen spray, citrus for a bright homemade air freshener, or eucalyptus for a natural room spray that feels refreshing.
- Shake well before each use.
That’s it! You now have a DIY room freshener that’s perfect for spritzing around the house or on linens. Check out our high-quality oils to find the perfect one for you.
What Base Do You Use for Room Spray?
Most DIY room sprays use a combination of distilled water and a carrier like witch hazel or rubbing alcohol. This base helps disperse the essential oils and ensures the spray evaporates quickly, leaving behind only the lovely scent.
Linen Spray Recipe Ideas
A simple linen spray recipe can use the same formula: distilled water, witch hazel, and essential oils. Try a blend of lavender and chamomile for bedtime linens or citrus and mint for towels.
Tips for Best Results
- Use a glass spray bottle to protect the essential oils from degrading in sunlight.
- Shake your spray well before each use to re-blend the ingredients.
- Store in a cool, dark place to keep your homemade room spray fresh.
