Any foolproof suggestions for making our art gallery/antiques shop smell "vintage" and "clean"? |
Need that warm and inviting scent in the air...I've tried supermarket sprays, rug deodorizers (sprays and powders you shake on them) ...they are stong and overpowering...had complaints from customers with allergies...Thank you. Wallaem has a great idea with the furniture polish. Oil any leather in your shop too. You can put small sprigs of bay leaf or lavendar inside drawers and armoias. Satchels of cedarwood are nice too. I would avoid spraying any kind of air freshener around antique furniture and fabrics. Febreeze rules all. I don't know foolproof techniques. Depending on what your shop layout is, maybe candles or one of those plug-in oil warmers. You could use a scent that is "homey" like cinnamon or brown sugar. HOWEVER, be careful: Oil warmers do release small amounts of oil into the air and candles can cause smoke damage and aging to art. Another thing that can really smell good in a room is furniture polish - if you're dealing in wood antiques, you might polish one piece each day to keep that good smell in the air. I would go with Olde English furniture polish, it has that nice old woodsy oil smell that is pleasing in that type of environment. I think you will agree. In fact before reading your whole question, I was going to advise against perfumy sprays |
