If I were to do it (which I'm not :-), I'd do a van Gogh room, such
that everything you see is in his style. You can start with his
bed and the walls, and a dresser containing a vase of flowers,
such that wherever you are, when you look at things they all have
his kind of texture and colouring. Then you could have a couple
of views out the windows along those lines, and transitions from
day to night. It would be an eerie place to go to.
