One very easy way to bring a fresh and relaxing scent into your bedroom is to dry the sheets outside on the clothes line.  Sometimes the sheets don't need washing but I'd like the outside smell in the room, so I hang them on the line for a few hours, they come in smelling great!

You can also spray the comforter with a little water that has been mixed with a few drops of essential oil (sweet orange or lavender are my favorites).  Hang on the line for a while (or all day) and viola - a lovely smelling bed and a lovely smelling room. 

I don't know about you, but this fresh outside fragrance is very relaxing to me and I seem to sleep much better under sheets that have been dried on the line .  Best of all, it saves money, no long dryer cycle to add to your electricity bill AND no expensive room freshener to buy!

Hanging the towels out to dry also gives the bathroom a fresh smell.
