Want to enjoy the relaxing benefits of dried lavender but not sure where to start? Whether you're drawn to its soothing fragrance, natural charm, or culinary potential, dried lavender is a versatile addition to your home. Here are five easy and beautiful ways to use it:
1. Create a Maintenance-Free Bouquet
Place a dried lavender bundle in a vase for a timeless floral arrangement—no water or upkeep needed!
Set your bouquet near a sunny window or in a warm room to naturally release the essential oils. The gentle scent of lavender creates a calming environment perfect for bedrooms, guest rooms, or reading nooks. It's also a lovely way to add a soft touch of purple to your home décor.
2. Turn Your Shower into a Spa
Hang a dried lavender bundle in your shower for a simple and effective aromatherapy experience.
The steam activates the lavender's essential oils, creating a spa-like atmosphere to help you unwind. Just be sure to hang your bundle away from the direct water stream so it lasts longer. Replace it every few weeks or as the fragrance fades for continued relaxation.
Bonus tip: Pair with eucalyptus for an even more invigorating blend!
3. Elevate Gifts and Entertaining
Add a charming touch to gift wrap or handmade cards by tucking in a lavender sprig.
Its rustic elegance elevates any package and shows your attention to detail. You can also use dried lavender to garnish charcuterie boards, mocktails, cocktails, or desserts—guests will love the unique and natural touch.
Pro tip: A little goes a long way!
4. Debud for Culinary Use
Want to cook or bake with lavender? It’s easy!
Slip your bouquet into a pillowcase and gently roll it between your hands. The buds will separate from the stems and any loose debris will stay contained. Pour into a jar for storage and you’re ready to get creative in the kitchen!
Just be sure you’re using the right variety—Lavandula angustifolia (English lavender) is the best choice for culinary use due to its sweet, clean flavor. Our dried lavender bouquets are perfect for this, yielding about 1 cup of buds and weighing over ½ an ounce each.
Use them in lavender shortbread cookies, lemonade, syrups, or even infused sugar.
5. Refresh Your Home Naturally
Revive tired potpourri with a handful of lavender buds.
It’s an effortless way to freshen up your bathroom, linen closet, or entryway. You can also make your own sachets by tying lavender buds into small fabric pouches to tuck in drawers, gym bags, or even under your pillow to help promote restful sleep.
