Following Grand Designs in Melbourne last year we wrote about Visual Resource and their style and class when it came to art in glass splashbacks – and as it turns out other applications!
Be yourself – everyone else is already taken” Oscar Wilde
There is something about that quote which rings true regarding the design inspiration behind three new bathrooms within a Melbourne family home. When the client briefed David Slade of David Slade Interior Designs and Rosemount Kitchens, to redesign the three bathrooms in their family home, they were clear they wanted each room to be quite different. 
The first and largest bathroom with the spa bath tub and waterfall feature wall is resort-inspired. The client wanted the waterfall to appear as though it was falling into the tub – bringing the outdoors in and appealing perhaps to a naturalist who enjoys showering outdoors in Summer. Or offering members of a busy family an opportunity to relax in a warm bath in cooler months with the meditative quality of the waterfall in the background. The floor tiles and basin reflect this organic, natural theme.
Within the largest ‘main’ bathroom, along with the more intimate downstairs guest bathroom – the client chose to incorporate VR Art Glass by Visual Resource as a statement feature. This became the ideal way to achieve the design intent: individuality for each bathroom.
Contributor Michael Collins said, “Visual Resource creates art to reflect the personal style of people, and compliment designs. For this home, the clients took full advantage of the creative license VR Art Glass provides. Each bathroom is unique because a different family member was in charge of selecting the artwork. Rosemary selected ‘Natures Shape # 4’ for the guest bathroom which they customised to compliment the space. While John chose a nature inspired ‘Waterfall’ image – setting the tone for the tranquil retreat achieved in the main bathroom. 
With individual family members in charge of the artwork selection task: each bathroom is not only unique – each provides a successful reflection of the character and personalities of the people who live in the home. The clients are naturally delighted with the new bathrooms, commenting that the personalised project management and meticulous attention to detail which David Slade provided for each custom bathroom – made the process incredibly smooth and enjoyable.
