The smell
Smell is often used in marketing and sales as a way to entice people; whether we’re talking about attracting shoppers to certain products, such as fresh bakery in the case of retail stores, or to make a house put up for sale seem more welcoming, it’s a strategy that really works.
So why not use this trick on your guests too? Nothing spells inviting and cozy than the smell of freshly baked bread or cookies, or your signature dish. Guests will have an idea what your kitchen looks like or feels like way before opening its door, explains Lily Will, founder and CEO at Ever Wallpaper.
Just make sure there aren’t too many smells coming from the kitchen, (from food, cleaning products etc.) as it can be overwhelming and disturbing for some of the guests. What you want is to create a welcoming atmosphere, one that doesn’t make people run for the hills.
