Hosting can be stressful, particularly for those with perfectionist tendencies. However, stress can be alleviated by focusing on the details that matter to guests. Experts emphasize that the primary factors guests notice are the scent and lighting of your home. A welcoming smell greets guests upon entry and good lighting enhances the ambiance. Simple adjustments, such as using diffusers or candles for scent and adding lamps for better lighting, can significantly improve the hosting experience without getting bogged down by unnoticeable details.
"We don't always recognize the smell of our own homes so it's important to open a window, turn on a diffuser or burn a candle if there's a smell to cover up."
"Good lighting helps create a welcoming ambiance in your home - and your guests will take note. A dimly lit home is a turn-off."
