How do I 'create' a window above the bed?

That's a bit vague, but I just saw a picture with a true window on the wall behind a bed, and thought it would be great to create a fake window with a scene, mountains, rivers etc. behind it. Any bright ideas?

Do a Trompe l'oeil. Here are some fantastic examples.

Here is a link to fake window scene art decals sold at Amazon.com very fancy.

You will need to match up the size of the window with the scenery. I think the biggest mistake people make is the picture they use doesn't look like it could be seen from that point of view. If you can blow up a photo, that would be really great.
