A heavenly Massage...

Wouldn't you love to get a massage in a lovely room such as that? I thought the little art quilt on the wall would add even a bit more elegance.

Apsara in the Bathroom...

A bathroom such as this talks of elegance and certain expectations. So why not placing art into such a beautiful environment while taking a cleopatra's bath?
The silk carving on the wall is part of the Angkor's Faces and Figures series and belongs to a diptych called Fragments of Angkor.
Details about this silk carving - it is really made from silk - you can see here

An Angel's Face on the Wall...

A bedroom that emanates innocence, a long gone era, simplicity and a time full of tenderness.
The silk carving on the wall is an Apsara, one of those heavenly statues and sculptures carved into the walls of Angkor Wat's temples.
If you would like to know more details about Apsara from the series of the Angkor's Faces and Figures please check this link.

In the Library with a Dragon on the Wall...

I know this is the time to go outdoors and enjoy spring, colours and scents. But there is also a time for relaxing, reading a book or two, taking a break or listen to some music.
The Dragon on the wall is a handquilted silk art quilt - one of those which do not belong on a bed. (Click on the link and you'll find more details about this wall hanging)

The Red Door into Dreams...

I found the original painting that the interior designers placed on the wall a bit too prominent and bone-crushing although the addition of red was the right supplement in my opinion for this room. The red brings a bit more warmth into the bedroom which otherwise would have been a bit too bland.

I think a smaller painting such as this acrylic painting Red Door from the Reminiscences series would be the better choice - or what do you think about this? Another example that it is not easy to find the right art and perfect choice for a room. Check out this link if you want to see more details...
