Luxury wall art doesnβt 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 homeβfrom modern brownstones to intimate apartmentsβbecause itβs not just about what hangs on the wall. Itβs 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 collectionβLiberated Tears and Duality Painβto 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 chairsβall of it created cohesion. Thatβs how luxury works: intentional, not crowded.
Dining Room: Sophistication With Edge
The dining area is one of the most overlooked spaces for artβbut 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 didnβt align with intimacy and reflection, I wouldnβt have chosen that piece.
I believe sensual art belongs in those private, in-between spaces. Art doesnβt always need to shout. Sometimes, it whispers.
Hallways & Entryways: First Impressions Matter
Want high impact? Start with your hallways. Entryways set the toneβthey'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. Donβt be afraid to break traditional rulesβjust make sure you break them with purpose.
Coreyβs Personal Styling Philosophy
Hereβs what I believe:
- Luxury art belongs in all homes.
- Symmetry and spacing matter. I donβt 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 wallsβnot because they donβt matter, but because luxury styling is about curation. A sensual print on metal has more emotional pull than your cousinβs graduation picture. It says: Iβve 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.
