You can use CSS to add styles.

Your html will probably will look something like that

<html>
        <body>
            <p>Hello world!</p>
        </body>
</html>

If you want to add the image as a background you can use the CSS background attribute. Inline:

<body style="background:url(../myimagespaths/myimage.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;>

Note: "html 0 0 no-repeat" are positional options of the image (top left in this case) and if you want the image to repeat itself.

If you have a linked CSS file to your html, in your css file you can also write:

body {
      background:url(../myimagespath/myimage.extension) 0 0 no-repeat
}

Hope it helps
