Or, is it "belleza" that references objects? thanks

according to the RAE dictionary both "hermosura" and "belleza" can be used for both people and things

Both are quite fine, although I tend to think that "belleza" sounds more natural--it's what I would use in everyday, vernacular speech.
I, personally, would use "hermosura" in prose or poetry. Those are the two contexts in which I've seen it more.
Then again, it's just a matter of preference. Both are fine, according to the prescriptivists at the Real Academia.

Both people and object-its someone or something thats just crazy beautiful.
Belleza refers to a beautiful woman.

You could use the word "hermosura" for both people and objects.
For example:
Object- Esta habitacion es una hermosura. (This bedroom is beautiful)
Person- Maria es una hermosura! (Maria is very beautiful!)

It may be used for both - beauty, spleandour, loveliness. In direct speech, you can translate it as 'darling'.
