Who says you have to leave home to enjoy some pampering? It doesn't take a lot of time or money to add a few elegant touches to your Springs luxury apartment home.

Here are some great ideas to get you started. Use these as-is, or let them spark your imagination for additional ideas!

Spas are the ultimate in luxurious indulgence, but they may be a bit too pricey for regular visits. Treat yourself with these suggestions:

• Fragrant essential oils added to your bath are good for your skin and your mood.
• Soothe tired muscles with a massage shower head.
• Place fresh flowers and your favorite scented candles on the sink.
• Use a bathtub caddy to hold a book, fruit and cheese, and a glass of wine.
• Keep a pretty pitcher or carafe of water in the refrigerator. Add fruit and veggie slices or herbs to infuse fresh flavor.

An exotic canopy can take you miles away from the real world into a fantasy land. Create your own DIY canopy in under an hour with a minimum of sewing.

Soft, plush area rugs or runners will have you feeling as though you're walking on a cloud.

Get the look and feel of a four-star hotel in your own bedroom. Top the bed with several pillows, mixing and matching sizes, colors, patterns and textures to fit your style.

Using cloth napkins can turn even fast food into gourmet dining. They're easier on the environment, too.

Luxury is often understated. Choose simple but sleek accessories made from materials such as glass and metal. (Stick with silver, though. Too much gold can have a tendency to look cheap.) Mirrors are a classic way to add both size and elegance.

Lamps and light fixtures can cast a harsh, unflattering glow. Try different light bulbs with a softer, warmer look, or add fairy or string lights for a magical effect.

With features such as hardwood-style floors, decorator blinds and granite countertops, our Springs Apartments homes are the perfect base for a lifestyle of luxury. Learn more from the friendly members of our Springs leasing teams.
