120 · Sep 1, 2020 · Stephanie Gerber · Leave a Comment

Try this simple yet elegant reed diffuser, which draws up fragrance from diluted essential oils and gently releases them into the air. It also comes together in a matter of minutes, and you can customize your blend to suit the room’s purpose. This one is great for the bedroom!

Dreamy Bedside DIY Reed DiffuserYour nightstand is the perfect spot for a reed diffuser. Fill yours up with a scent to calm worries from the day and promote sweet dreams.

A reed diffuser is a good place to use economical essential oils that have a strong scent. You want an aroma that can scent the room without having to worry about conserving drops. Some ideas: lavender, lemon, sweet orange, clove, juniper or peppermint. Rose and jasmine absolutes are good options, too. And if you want your diffuser to have a stronger scent, just add more essential oil.

Aroma Ideas for your diffuser

  • Wake-Me-Up: 15 drops each sweet orange and peppermint
  • Sweet floral: 25 drops jasmine absolute
  • Just Breathe: 15 drops juniper and 10 drops pine or rosemary
  • Get Cozy: 10 drops each Clove, Cinnamon and Vanilla
  • Clean Combo: 10 drops each lemon, sweet orange and grapefruit
  • Stress Reliever: 20 drops lavender, 5 drops patchouli

Dreamy Bedside DIY Reed DiffuserYou can buy diffuser reeds or cut off the sharp ends of bamboo skewers. You can also forage up a rustic array of tiny twigs. Search thrift stores for glass bottles to repurpose. Bottles with a narrow neck work best. Just make sure they’re clean and completely dry before using.
