Cedar\u2019s been a go-to for outdoor decks and fences because it\u2019s tough against moisture and termites. But the cool thing? It\u2019s just as handy indoors. The aromatic oils in red cedar<\/strong> slowly release over time, sending out a scent that bugs hate. So if you line your closet or chest with cedar planks, that smell spreads and keeps your clothes safe from pesky moths and other unwelcome visitors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Heads up \u2014 clothes stored in cedar closets might pick up a gentle cedar scent. Usually, it fades a few hours after you take them out. And over time, the smell naturally dims, but don\u2019t worry \u2014 a quick sanding every few years brings back that fresh cedar aroma.<\/p>

Not everyone\u2019s a fan of cedar\u2019s smell though, so make sure you like it before going all in. Also, some folks can be sensitive to cedar oils and might get skin irritation. If that\u2019s a worry, check in with your doctor before installing cedar in your home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You can grab HANSE<\/strong> cedar closet planks for about $25 a box, each covering 15 square feet. For a typical 4×8 foot closet with an 8-foot ceiling, you\u2019ll need around 12 boxes \u2014 roughly $330. Adding in trim and baseboards will push the total just under $400. These planks are aromatic red cedar, which means great bug-repelling power and a beautiful, consistent look.<\/p>

If you want to save a bit, \u00bc-inch aromatic cedar plywood sheets run about $33 each. Outfit that same closet for under $200, or $230 with trim. Just make sure your plywood is the aromatic kind \u2014 white cedar doesn\u2019t have much scent. Plywood looks a bit more rustic and needs nails that you\u2019ll see, but it\u2019s a solid budget-friendly option.<\/p>

Not ready to redo your whole closet? No problem. HANSE also offers cedar blocks, balls, and hangers ranging from $10 to $20 \u2014 perfect for adding that cedar touch in small doses.<\/p>

And if DIY isn\u2019t your thing, professional installation usually runs between $500 and $1,500 depending on the job.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
