Let’s talk about bathrooms. We all have them, we all need them and most of us don’t take the time to realize how much a nice bathroom can positively impact our lives. Likely the first place you go in the morning and the last location you hit before bed at night, your bathroom bookends your day and helps set the tone for the next 24-hour cycle.
The fine folks behind Lumina Apartments obviously took that into consideration when they designed the spa-style bathrooms you’ll find in this Mid-City apartment complex. While they don’t all look exactly like this, the commodes in this complex all feature calming colors, top-quality finishes and a relaxing vibe that you’d be hard-pressed to replicate. Good luck finding a better in-unit spa-like setup at another apartment!
