With its fragrant scent and beneficial aromatherapeutic properties, the eucalyptus plant and eucalyptus oil makes the perfect decorating staple for your healthy home.
Eucalyptus oil has been used for centuries for its many health-boosting properties as an all-natural healing agent, a non-toxic antimicrobial and antibacterial cleaning agent, beauty product, antiseptic, and so much more.
Bringing eucalyptus into your home can help reduce seasonal allergies, purify the air in your home, and act as an all-natural energizer and stimulant.
Eucalyptus essential oil is effective for treating a number of respiratory problems including cold, cough, runny nose, sore throat, asthma, nasal congestion, bronchitis, and sinusitis. Eucalyptus oil is antibacterial, anti-fungal, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and decongestant in nature.
No wonder this plant and its oil is a beautiful yet healthy addition to your home! As a decorative staple, the plant is versatile, beautiful in both its fresh and dried states. Pair it with our Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist and you’ll have a relaxing, inviting, and nourishing home atmosphere you crave to be in.
How to Decorate Your Home with Eucalyptus
1. As a garland
Eucalyptus branches are an inexpensive yet elegant and calming way to enhance the atmosphere of your home. Arrange a few boughs above your fireplace or down your dining room table and be sure to spritz regularly with our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist to keep the scent fragrant for extended periods of time.
2. As a centerpiece in vases around the home
Arrange a few stems of varying heights in small, medium, and large vases throughout your home. Style on tables, counter tops, and bookshelves next to your favorite candles.
3. As a wreath
Eucalyptus is versatile all year round, pairing well with soft pink florals in the spring, muted tones in the winter, and bright, energetic colors in the fall and summer! Use as a wreath in your home or on your front door all year long.
4. In your shower and guest bathrooms
You’ve likely seen dried eucalyptus used in showers and steam rooms, and for good reason! Eucalyptus provides many health benefits for inner healing and improved respiratory function when inhaled. Hang dried eucalyptus branches upside down from your shower head to beautify your bathroom, and be sure to use our Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist for a transformative steam room experience right in your own home.
5. Spray, spray, spray!
Be sure to use our Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist throughout your home to pull the atmosphere together and create an aromatherapeutic experience every time you step through your door!

We love eucalyptus. Its light, herbal scent and soft, rustic aesthetic makes it the perfect foundational decoration and fragrance for any event, especially weddings.
Eucalyptus represents abundance and protection as well, adding a touch of meaningful symbolism to your special day.
When paired with our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist, especially, eucalyptus decor is sure to create a unique and memorable experience for bride, groom and every friend and family member in attendance.
Here are a few of our favorite ways to use eucalyptus to make your wedding one you’ll remember forever!
Ways to Use Eucalyptus for Your Wedding
- Arrange it in your bouquet. Eucalyptus adds a soft and beautiful filler to any floral bouquet. Or, opt for a eucalyptus-only bouquet for a simple yet memorable style!
- Use it in a floral crown. Eucalyptus crowns or halos are beautiful for bride, bridesmaids and even flower girls.
- Incorporate in corsages and boutonnieres. Don’t leave out the rest of the bridal party! The groom and his groomsmen will love the simplicity of eucalyptus, and your mother-in-law will love the scent of her corsage!
- Arrange in the centerpieces. Eucalyptus makes a gorgeous centerpiece, especially when paired with succulents, roses, or bright florals! Be sure to mist the centerpieces with our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist to enhance the aroma.
- Fashion as a table runner garland. Lay branches of eucalyptus down the table runners as a garland – and don’t forget to spray a few touches of our mist!
- Use a floral wreath as an altar backdrop. Like your bouquet, eucalyptus is beautiful all on its own or when paired with other florals. The design is up to you!
- Give to the flower girl to toss instead of petals. The eucalyptus leaves will add a unique look to your aisle runner.
- Give to guests to toss during your grand exit! Some wedding parties toss bird seed, some light sparklers, but eucalyptus is a sweet and simple way to make your wedding unlike any other.
- Give out mini-bouquets as favors. Guests will love taking home a few branches of eucalyptus. Pair with a tea light candle for a favor they’ll be sure to use and set out in their home.
- Our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist in travel size makes the perfect favor for a eucalyptus-themed wedding! Guests will enjoy remembering your special day every time they spray the mist.

To the men in our lives who work hard, support their families, inspire us with sage advice, and tell endless dad jokes… we love you and we’re thankful for you! Here are a few of our favorite essential oils for good ol’ Dad.
Eucalyptus Oil for Dads With Beards
Our favorite scruffy faces are always in need of a little pampering. Create a smoothing, stimulating beard oil by mixing a few drops of Eucalyptus and other essential oils depending on your preferred scent (our recommendations: citrus, tea tree, or cedarwood) with a carrier oil like jojoba.
Lavender Oil for Dads Who Need Better Sleep
Lavender Oil is known for its sedative properties. Does your dad need to relax? Spritz a little in the shower or start diffusing it 20 minutes before bed, and Dad will knock out in no time. Let him snore all night long… It’s his day, after all.
A Natural Alternative to Dad’s Cologne
Instead of reaching for a bottle filled to the brim with chemicals and toxic ingredients, give Dad some essential oils to mix as he pleases and help him smell great. Some classic options are Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Lavender, and Citrus.

Welcome to sweet summertime, everyone! It’s time to enjoy the cool ocean waves and the warm breeze in your hair. As you play in the sand and soak up the sun, don’t forget to take your essential oils with you!
Essential Oils as Sunburn Relief
Lavender Oil is known to reduce inflammation and redness, and Peppermint Oil is cooling when applied topically. Combine the two with some aloe vera or coconut oil to create a soothing gel when you’ve gotten too much sun during your day at the beach.
Essential Oils as a Natural Bug Repellant
Keep the bugs away from your picnic table with a little Citronella Oil. Mix it into water with some Lemon Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, and Tea Tree Oil. Then spritz around the table and your patio furniture to create a safe haven.
Essential Oils for Mildewy Towels
Regular summertime swims mean oodles of beach towels piling up in the laundry basket. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to some wool dryer balls when drying your towels for an extra fresh scent. At the pool all day? Spritz towels while they air dry between games of Marco Polo.
Essential Oils for Long Roadtrips
Long hours in the car can be stressful, especially with children! Pack your favorite essential oils, some cotton balls, and a handful of clothespins to take on the drive. Add a few drops of the essential oil to a cotton ball, then clamp it into your car’s AC vents for immediate relaxation. You can also take one of our ShowerMists for a more convenient solution!

Tea Tree Oil is a beloved essential oil in the natural health community. Not only does it delight the senses with an invigorating scent, but it has so many other amazing uses! Here are three of our favorite things about tea tree oil:
Tea Tree Oil is a great natural sanitizer.
Because of its sanitization properties, tea tree oil is used in many natural cleaner recipes. It can even discourage mold from growing. Spritz a little in your shower for a clean, fresh scent and peace of mind.
Tea Tree Oil can help reduce acne.
Tea tree oil can be used as a natural alternative to harsh acne cleansers and is just as effective as benzoyl peroxide. Mix a few drops of the oil with two teaspoons of raw honey to create your own face wash. Just remember to rinse with water!
Tea Tree Oil is great for the scalp.
Do you suffer from dandruff or a dry, itchy scalp? Tea tree oil is a great remedy and won’t cause excessive drying! Mix a few drops with some coconut milk (add a little lavender oil for a sweet scent) and massage it in while taking a shower.
Tea Tree and Eucalyptus Oil are a tough allergen-fighting pair.
Both oils act as a decongestant and can help clear stuffy sinuses. When used together they can reduce inflammation, ease pain, and boost immunity. This shower spray will have you feeling better in minutes.
