aesthetic sensibility
Eye for beauty
Aesthetic sensibility is an awareness of and responsiveness to beauty, form, and artistic quality.
Someone with strong aesthetic sensibility notices visual harmony, appreciates craftsmanship, and has developed taste in art, design, or style.
The phrase often implies refined perception rather than casual preference: Her aesthetic sensibility shaped every detail of the room.
It can sound pretentious when overused.
