There is no denying that, over time, a room starts to have an odor. Even if you are diligent about cleaning it frequently, your home will always have a lived-in feeling, especially for anyone visiting it. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Your home will represent how you live. But if you’re looking for ways to spruce it up, like when you have guests over, there are plenty of ways to do so. You can scrub every inch of the home, so it is spotless. You may not want to do that every time, so just a quick cleaning will usually suffice. You can try lighting candles, but different scents in different rooms can waft and create a more unique smell that isn’t as pleasing. But placing potpourri in certain rooms can really do the trick. These are carefully curated collections of fragrant woods, flowers, and other items that offer up a more natural and pleasant smell for your home. Whether you use it in the bathroom, kitchen, or living room is up to you, but it’s sure to make any odor disappear. We’ve highlighted five of the best options for potpourri out there to give you a better smelling home.
