18 scents that can make you happier at home
Studies have proven that scents like these can lighten up a person's mood

Smelling lilacs may instantly transport you to grandma’s bedroom window, where the breeze wafted in the fragrance of the lilac tree outside. Others may consider the whiff of baking apple pie such a warm and snug experience that they refrain from getting rid of cooking smells in their home.
Or perhaps the aroma of freshly cut grass on a Saturday morning refreshes and soothes their spirit. Whatever the scent, it may help bring more happiness into your home, according to science. Let's explore the eighteen common smells that are said to make you happier at home.

But why does this happen?
It turns out that neuroscience has discovered that scent has the strongest connection to memory and emotion than the rest of the senses. This is because, with scent, the sensory information collected goes straight to the brain’s olfactory bulb, which is directly linked to the regions responsible for memory and emotion.
Additionally, studies on fragrance conducted at the Mie University School of Medicine and the University of Vienna have shown that certain fragrances lessen the need for antidepressants in some patients, as well as decrease anxiety in a group of dental patients. This shows the likelihood that some scents have a “clinically quantifiable effect on mood,” as stated by Yale Scientific.
Based on this information, it seems ideal to have scents in our homes that bring up positive memories or get us into better moods. The good news is that many scents have long been linked to positive moods and health benefits, and we can try them out anytime we like!

If you're in the market for a new couch or sofa, one of the biggest considerations beyond the size and shape is the couch fabric. Deciding on how you plan to use the couch and who you plan to let on it (for example, pets and kids) can help determine which material you choose. If it's a sofa for a living room and one the whole family will use daily, you need couch material that's durable and will hold up over time. If it's one in an office or formal living room, you can be a bit more relaxed about the fabric.

Beyond the frame and springs, there are many fabric choices available when it comes to buying a couch. Here are a few things to watch out for and consider before making your big purchase. They can make the difference between a couch that stands the test of time and one that needs to be replaced after a couple of years.
