How to Prepare a Large Living Room Before Hosting

Prepare a large living room before you host
Guests notice a room in the first few seconds at the door. A little planning makes it feel fresh, warm and ready.

The short answer
Air the room first, deal with any cooking smells, then let Vaayu run on a low setting before guests arrive. Check the space first: Vaayu suits a connected living area within 1000 m³. A smaller living room suits Pawan.
A simple routine
On the day
- In the morning. Open the windows and let the room air out.
- Before cooking. Close the kitchen door if you can, and run the exhaust fan.
- An hour before. Start Vaayu on a low or medium setting so the scent settles evenly.
- When guests arrive. Keep it low. Food, flowers and people will add their own notes.
Pawan or Vaayu?
Choose by the space, not the label
A flat size or a room name is only a starting point. Layout, ceiling height, airflow and closed doors decide what a space really needs.
Pawan: one room
One room of up to about 500 sq ft: a bedroom, study, cabin or small living room. It plugs into the wall, runs silently and is set from the SOSA app.
Vaayu: a connected space
One open, connected space of up to 1000 m³, roughly 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft depending on ceiling height. It schedules by day, run window and intensity.
Closed doors count
A room you keep closed is its own space. One Vaayu will not reach behind a shut bedroom door, so a closed room usually needs its own Pawan.
Our recommendation
For hosting
A richer hotel-inspired set suits evenings. Choose Pawan for a smaller living room.

Questions
Before you choose
Should I choose Pawan or Vaayu?
Pawan suits one room of up to about 500 sq ft. Vaayu suits one connected space of up to 1000 m³, roughly 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft depending on ceiling height. A room kept behind a closed door usually needs its own Pawan.
Will it clash with the food?
Keep it on a low setting while you eat. A light scent sits behind food rather than competing with it.
Can I schedule them?
Yes. Pawan is set from the SOSA app with a timer, for example mornings and evenings. Vaayu is set from the SOSA app over Bluetooth or its buttons: the days, a run window of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, and the intensity.
Are they noisy?
No. Pawan is silent in use, and Vaayu runs at under 38 dB, quiet enough for a bedroom, clinic or office.
