Valencich, who appears frequently on HGTV, believes personal elements, such as scent, add character and the finishing touch to a room. She has partnered with Glade® Sense & Spray® Automatic Freshener to pair each scent with a different home décor theme that matches design personalities.

"Decor and scent go hand-in-hand," says Valencich, "and designing around the senses is a great way to ensure that a room is not missing any essential elements – color, texture or fragrance. I like Glade® Sense & Spray® Automatic Freshener because it provides a signature scent to complement a room's design and ambiance."

Matching Home Decor and Scent

For easy, cost effective ways to personalize and update a home, Valencich recommends stimulating the senses through color, textures and fragrance.

1. Color – Look at home decor items purely based on color. Painting an accent wall is one of the easiest ways to infuse a fresh burst of color into a room. To make the room cohesive, pick three accessories in that same color and position them around the room in a triangle pattern.
2. Fragrance – If a room looks beautiful but lacks an inviting scent, the effect may fall flat. Add fragrance as the finishing touch to home decor with Glade® Sense & Spray® Automatic Freshener. The newly designed neutral vase-like design can be added to any room and blends in with the decor.
3. Textures – Achieve a warm and inviting atmosphere by adding soft lighting with lamps and dimmers and by using different textures throughout the room. If there is a lot of wood in a room, opt for a glass and metal piece for contrast. Always make sure the fabrics on upholstery are soft and cozy so family members and guests are comfortable.  

Glade® Sense & Spray® Automatic Freshener uses a built-in motion sensor to detect movement and automatically freshens a room with fragrance only when needed. The starter kit is offered in Lavender & Vanilla and Hawaiian Breeze® scents.

• Lavender & Vanilla - Lavender & Vanilla's soft scent will complement a more feminine decor theme.
• Hawaiian Breeze®  - The airy, fruity scent of Hawaiian Breeze® pairs nicely with a layered, casual beach-inspired look.

Refills are available in Clean Linen™, Apple Cinnamon and Clear Springs® Tough Odor Solutions, in addition to Lavender & Vanilla and Hawaiian Breeze®. Each refill kit lasts for weeks.

It is available in the air-care aisle of food, drug and mass-merchandise stores such as Target, Walmart and many more. The manufacturer suggested retail price for Glade® Sense & Spray® Automatic Freshener is $8.99 (includes one holder, one refill and two AA batteries) with additional refills at $3.49 each.
