Any bed with art on it (Quality better than superior) will cause colonists to interact with the bed by task "view art."  If this happens when the owner of the bed goes to sleep, then they cannot interact with the bed and chooses a new bed or sleeps on the ground.

Between that and disturbing sleep when they come in to creepily stand over the pawn as they are sleeping, admiring their bed!

I think a good solution would be pawns are not allowed to view art in another pawn's bedroom. Limit art viewing to all public areas and their own room. If we have one piece of art that is viewable and we decide to place it somewhere where most can't see it, that is on us as players. (As a bonus, could also pop up an alert on placement similar to workbenches outside now- Instead of "This workbench will have a penalty for being outdoors" it could be "This artwork will only be viewable to the owner of the room, consider placing in a public area")

edit: Suppose this is more of a suggestion, I'll copy it there.

I think another solution is to have a toggle box on art work so that the player can decide which pieces of art can be viewed for joy. The same way tables can be marked "yes/no" for being a gather spot.

Great idea Calahan. Feel free to add that to my thread in the suggestions forum if you'd like!
