A Guide to Styling Luxury Wall Art – By Corey Wesley

Strategically positioning a piece of exquisite art has the power to transform the ambiance of a room, elevating it from average to extraordinary. To me, genuine luxury goes far beyond conventional design—it’s rooted in intentionality, emotional depth, and my distinct artistic vision.

In this Guide to Styling Luxury Wall Art, I merge timeless design concepts with personal insights to help you create a sophisticated, gallery-like environment in your home or workspace.

The Importance of Deliberate Placement

Luxury interiors thrive when art is placed with purpose. A thoughtfully chosen piece—like the Luxury Wall Art – Embracing Passion—can shape the energy of the space, act as a focal point, and tell a compelling visual story.

"Art breathes life into a space. It has the ability to elevate a room’s design to new heights."
– Kelly Wearstler

I see this transformation happen with every collector I work with. The piece itself is powerful, but the magic happens when it meets the right space.

Striking a Balance Between Symmetry and Asymmetry

Symmetrical Layouts

Symmetry evokes timeless elegance and a sense of order. It works beautifully in traditional, classical, or neoclassical interiors. Align art with architectural elements like fireplace mantels, wall panels, or doorways, and maintain equal spacing for a refined, balanced effect.

"Symmetry exudes tranquility and sophistication."
– Jean-Louis Deniot

Asymmetrical Layouts

Asymmetry allows for more freedom, personality, and energy—perfect for modern and eclectic settings. Mix mediums, scales, and orientations. Combine aluminum metal prints with framed works to create a layered, curated aesthetic. Focus on visual weight rather than perfect alignment to achieve balance.

Crafting an Elegant Exhibition

Layering Mediums

Material texture is everything in luxury design. My Luxury Wall Art Collection features museum-grade aluminum prints—sleek, glossy, and dynamic. Framed statement pieces bring structure and classical edge, blending seamlessly with both modern and traditional decors.

Embracing Negative Space

Let the artwork breathe. Avoid filling every inch of the wall. Negative space adds refinement, allowing the eye to focus. As designer Victoria Hagan reminds us:

"True luxury lies in refinement, not excess. Ample space around art allows it to truly shine."

Consider using paper templates or tape outlines to visualize layouts before installation.

Steering Clear of Common Placement Pitfalls

Hasty Installations: Take time to assess placement, test lighting, and preview arrangements before committing.
Scale Imbalance: One large impactful piece can speak louder than multiple smaller ones. In large rooms, avoid leaving walls empty or visually disconnected. Strike a balance between boldness and cohesion.
