If there is one place on this earth that you have complete control over, it is your home's living (surrounding conditions). If you think of it as your (an area of water in a desert/a nice place surrounded by bad things) from the noise and confusion and noise of life, you should make it your priority to enrich it with the elements that make you comfortable and relaxed.
When I step into my home, I am immediately happy and comforted. I have surrounded myself with my favorite things, and yet have removed all the (messy piles of things) that years of collecting can bring. There is a storage facility holding all the collections I have piled up, and someday I will figure out what to do with all that; but for now, I have designed my space with elements of our (way of living) that bring us peace and peacefulness. Color is first (or most important) in affecting mood and energy. Sometimes it only takes the addition of one wall of color to complete this. Just enough to bring some attention to the space and join things together. Many times, less is more!
I am an artist (who paints large wall paintings) by trade, and have seen hundreds of homes in my career. The one thing I have come away with in the almost 20 years of painting in other people's homes is that when I step into someone's house where there is order and space, I am free to create and can do my best painting. If there is (messy piles of things) and mess around, I struggle with ideas and sometimes cannot even communicate with my clients because they are not clear or open to ideas themselves. I may make up for their (messy piles of things) by creating a simple design so there is a visual escape for their minds to go. On the other hand, in a (surrounding conditions) where there is order and harmony, I can create amazing scenes with much detail because there is big/enough space for such design.
A large wall painting can improve a space like no other design element. It is part of the (related to the beautiful design and construction of buildings, etc.) - part of the house itself - so it has a sense of belonging when a painting seems to be borrowed from somewhere else, and lent to the space it lives in. A large wall painting can be a visual escape, and dreamscape, (wide view of a nature scene/wide area of beautiful land), or seascape. It will transport your busy mind to a place of peacefulness and ease, if that is your design wish.
All I can say is to think about a large wall painting in your home, as it is an investment which lasts a lifetime and can be the difference between a blank wall of boredom and the visual transportation of your mind to more pleasant times.
Invest in Your (surrounding conditions): The One You Live In!
