Functional Art

I like very much the idea of Functional Art and as interior designer I can say that this is probably one of the best ways to integrate art in your interiors.
Sound Reactive Smart Cloud Light - Using motion sensors the cloud detects a user's presence and creates a unique lightning and thunder show dictated by their movement.

The system features a powerful speaker system from which the user can stream music via any Bluetooth compatible device.

Using color-changing lights the cloud is able to adapt to the desired lighting color and brightness. The cloud also has alternative modes such as a nightlight and music reactive mode.

Features a powerful Philips LED bulb which provides plenty of "sunshine."

A clever way to add a view to your (bath)room

If you wish to have a window in the bathroom, but that is technically not possible, a simple solution is easily available:

using a Wall Mural. There are a lot of choices on the market and especially the type that is removable is a great solution for me  - you can change the view with every season or change of mood :)

Art in the bathroom?

I have already posted here that Art is the great final touch in interior design, but what do you think about art in the bathroom? It is not so unusual as one would think and can be in quite different forms:

Beautiful bathroom design with thought for your aesthetic needs ;) Do you notice that pictures are hanged at a hight suitable for looking at them when seated? Would you say that this is a professional deformation of a collector? This is the home of the collector - Matt Jacobson.
