How to Hang Metal Wall Art Like a Pro: A Step-by-Step Guide for Luxury Interiors

Luxury isn’t just in the art—it’s in the experience of displaying it. At Milton Wes Art, every metal artwork by Corey Wesley comes with a French cleat hanging system, offering the perfect combination of security and sleek, gallery-style presentation. Here’s how to install it like a pro—whether you're a collector, interior designer, or simply ready to elevate your home.

What You’ll Need

• French cleat (included with your Milton Wes Art piece)
• Stud finder
• Pencil or painter’s tape
• Level
• Drill & screws (wall anchors if not hitting studs)
• Measuring tape
• Soft cloth for final wipe-down

Step-by-Step: Hanging Your Metal Art with a French Cleat

Step 1: Choose the Right Spot

Think about lighting, eye level, and room function. Milton Wes Art pieces are emotional power plays—designed to stop viewers in their tracks. Choose a space where the art’s boldness can breathe.

Step 2: Mark Your Mounting Area

Use a stud finder to locate studs. If studs aren’t available, use wall anchors. Mark your desired height with painter’s tape. Eye-level center is typically 57–60 inches from the floor.

Step 3: Level & Secure the Cleat

Align the wall-side cleat with your marks. Ensure it's level for a seamless “floating” effect. Drill it into place using screws or anchors depending on wall type.

Step 4: Hang Your Artwork

Tilt the art slightly forward, hook the back cleat over the mounted one, and lower gently. You’ll feel it lock into place. Adjust slightly if needed to ensure perfect alignment.

Step 5: Final Touches

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints or dust. Then step back and admire—your statement piece is now commanding the room.

Bonus: How to Clean Your Metal Print Safely

• Regular Dusting: Use a dry microfiber cloth—no pressure needed.
• Light Dirt: Dampen a soft cloth with water or a mild cleaner.
• Stubborn Spots: Use mild soap with lukewarm water, wiping gently and drying immediately.
• Avoid: Abrasives, harsh chemicals, or rough cloths—they’ll damage the glossy finish.
• Storage Tip: While Corey Wesley’s aluminum prints are weatherproof, keep them indoors, away from direct sun or extreme temps to preserve vibrancy.

Why the French Cleat System?

According to Eagle Aluminum, the French cleat system offers unparalleled strength and precision. It supports the artwork’s weight evenly and creates a sleek “float” effect—just what you want in a high-end space.
