Decoration creates an atmosphere and develops the tone of a room.
It can affect a person hormonally and mentally, which both contribute to better (or worse) physical condition. There are some plants especially trees that create oxygen and it helps clear the room. In cases where a patient has respiratory problems or condition affected by oxygen levels, this can create a better environment to heal. Some plants or art materials release aroma or essences to contribute to an atmosphere.

Those studies tend to show that humans generally feel better when surrounded by æsthetic/pretty things. And since body and mind are tightly linked, well this helps with your physiology. (Thanks [Kurzgezagt](https://youtu.be/-O5kNPlUV7w), they taught me this. I recommend the video/the channel if you’re interested by such subjects.)
