Wallpaper - Proud Peacocks

Designed by Carrie Cantwell, our Proud Peacocks wallpaper brings an energetic, retro rhythm to the wall through a parade of stylized birds. Each peacock features a bright cobalt blue body with geometric contours, opening into a fan-shaped tail filled with teardrop patterns in sunny yellow and warm orange. The concentric motifs sit across a light beige backdrop, giving the flat graphic illustration a distinct 1970s and Memphis-inspired character. Produced as custom made-to-measure murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers offer a spirited graphic focal point for lively residential interiors.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in areas where you want to introduce pattern and personality without overwhelming the entire floor plan. In an entryway or powder room, the repeating peacocks create an immediate sense of arrival, where the symmetrical geometry can be enjoyed up close.

In a dining room or living room, we would consider placing this wallpaper on a dedicated accent wall, such as behind a low sideboard or sofa. The structured layout of the fan tails provides enough visual order to anchor the space, while the warm orange and yellow accents keep the atmosphere friendly and engaging. For a dressing room or bedroom, the repeat brings a cheerful decorative quality that pairs naturally with clean architectural lines.

Styling it

Because the peacock motif carries a strong graphic identity and warm retro palette, we prefer pairing it with straightforward, unadorned interior elements.

Clean-lined wooden furniture in mid-toned or warm finishes balances the 1970s aesthetic without leaning too heavily into period pastiche. Simple silhouettes keep the room grounded and prevent the repeating pattern from feeling too busy.

For lighting and hardware, matte black accents or simple warm metallic fixtures complement the bold cobalt blue lines while letting the yellow and orange teardrops remain the main visual focus.

Colour combinations

Our Proud Peacocks design is built around vivid cobalt blue, warm orange, and sunny yellow set against an understated light beige background.

When planning adjacent surfaces, we suggest drawing from the soft beige ground for surrounding painted walls or trim, which allows the wallpaper to stand out clearly. To lean into the vibrancy of the print, deep navy or cobalt accents on dining chairs, painted shelving, or low furniture can echo the birds' bodies, while subtle touches of mustard or terracotta in cushions and ceramics tie the warmer tail details into the wider room.
