How it's used
Focuses on the visual harmony or artistic quality of an object rather than just its physical appearance. It is often used in formal or semi-formal contexts, such as describing architecture, interior design, or professional presentations. While it implies beauty, it specifically highlights that the object is well-proportioned or pleasing to look at.
Examples
This design is both aesthetic and practical.
The ornaments are decorated very beautifully.
