Luxury Wall Art for Every Room | Best Spaces to Display Bold Artwork

Luxury wall art doesn’t belong to a certain income bracket or a penthouse zip code. It belongs wherever you choose to create intention. I believe luxury art lives inΒ any homeβ€”from modern brownstones to intimate apartmentsβ€”because it’s not just about what hangs on the wall. It’s about how you place it, why you choose it, and the conversation it has with the space around it.

Living Room: The Statement Space

In my own home, the living room was the first place I wanted to get right. I selected two 24x36 framed pieces from my collectionβ€”Liberated Tears and Duality Painβ€”to complement my black-and-white aesthetic. I originally thought of placing four pieces across the long wall behind my couch, but I scaled back. Why? Because I wanted intimacy, not an art museum vibe.

Your luxury art should fit your energy and your intention. I chose two pieces not just for visual balance, but to let the space breathe. I also work with high-gloss aluminum and framed prints, so the choice of materials mattered. Hardwood floors, a glass table with a steel base, and velvet high-back chairsβ€”all of it created cohesion. That’s how luxury works: intentional, not crowded.

Dining Room: Sophistication With Edge

The dining area is one of the most overlooked spaces for artβ€”but it shouldn't be. I styled my metal prints in the dining space with one thing in mind: elegance. These pieces sit opposite a long window where light pours in every morning, so I carefully avoided direct sunlight (metal prints can fade with too much exposure).

Think of your dining space like an elevated gallery you live inside. It's where luxury meets conversation. Guests notice. They lean in. They ask questions.

Bedroom & Bathroom Entryways: Intimacy and Sensuality

If you're asking where luxury art belongs, think about the energy you're curating. Near the bedroom, I lean into sensuality. My piece Passion lives in the bathroom, directly across from my bedroom. If that space didn’t align with intimacy and reflection, I wouldn’t have chosen that piece.

I believe sensual art belongs in those private, in-between spaces. Art doesn’t always need to shout. Sometimes, it whispers.

Hallways & Entryways: First Impressions Matter

Want high impact? Start with your hallways. Entryways set the toneβ€”they're where your home speaks before you do. These areas are perfect for bold luxury art like Forbidden Gaze, which I once styled by placing it directly on the floor near my living room entry. Yes, on the floor. That piece found its power there.

Unconventional placement creates unexpected luxury. Don’t be afraid to break traditional rulesβ€”just make sure you break them with purpose.

Corey’s Personal Styling Philosophy

Here’s what I believe:

  • Luxury art belongs in all homes.
  • Symmetry and spacing matter. I don’t do cluttered collage walls.
  • Let your art breathe. A 96-inch TV shouldn't drown out your one-of-a-kind piece.
  • Let your art do the talking. And that means placing it where people listen.

I'm not into family photos on the wallsβ€”not because they don’t matter, but because luxury styling is about curation. A sensual print on metal has more emotional pull than your cousin’s graduation picture. It says: I’ve arrived.

When I help collectors style my art, I ask: What do you want your walls to say? Because when you own something no one else can, the walls start speaking for you.
