The best diffusers to make your home peaceful and calm
Turn your house into a mini aromatherapy session 🙏

Looking for a new diffuser to add some zen to your room? We've found the best for every budget. Because there really is nothing better than opening your front door and catching a waft of a joyful scent. And after a stressful day, it might be just the boost you need - especially as a diffuser can constantly omit scent, unlike an unlit candle.
Whether you're the ultimate homebody or like to be out and about, it's nice to do some "nesting" to make your space as cosy as possible for when you're there. Tidying your area and adding comforting touches like candles or oil diffusers, or maybe even an electric diffuser can make all the difference when creating ambience. Maybe you're working or studying at home with flatmates or family members, or just fancy treating yourself to a nice smelling home.
Try a calming essential oil diffuser to make your bedroom a peaceful haven for sheetmasking and Netflixing. Or maybe your sister's burnt her porridge for the 3rd morning in a row, and you need a cheery kitchen reed diffuser to cover the smell before you lose it. Are flatmate tensions running a little high in the house? Adding a happy-smelling aroma diffuser certainly can't hurt.
Diffusers are also a great way to experiment with fragrance-zoning, too - where you begin to associate certain parts of your home with certain smells, and are able to differentiate your headspace between them. Whether you'd rather be at a spa, on a sandy beach, or strolling through an orange grove, we've rounded up the best diffusers to mentally take you there. Now all you need to do is decide which ones to get. (We can’t help you with that, sorry. We’re too busy deciding which ones we want…)
