The choice of what adorns the walls of your home affects the entire mood and style of individual rooms, and may well influence the choice of other furnishings. William Morris exclaimed that:

“Whatever you have in your rooms think first of the walls for they are that which makes your house and home, and if you do not make some sacrifices in their favour you will find your chambers have a kind of makeshift, lodging-house look about them …”

In this respect I think it’s fitting that the first ‘inspiration’ gallery is on the subject of walls.
