Wallpaper - Art Deco Peacock Scallops, Night

Our Art Deco Peacock Scallops, Night wallpaper, created by RNM Arts, brings together elegant Art Deco symmetry and graceful natural curves. The motif features stylised peacock feathers arranged into sweeping scallop arches, rendered in distressed gold-toned linework against a deep charcoal black background. The contrast between the dark field and the gilded visual texture gives the pattern a striking graphic presence on the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well in a dining room, living room, or bedroom where you want to create an intimate, cocooning atmosphere. Because the pattern has a strong vertical rhythm and bold contrast, it makes an impactful feature wall behind a bedhead or a dining table. On a continuous, uninterrupted wall, the repeating scallop arches flow together seamlessly, drawing the eye upward and emphasising ceiling height.

In an entryway, hallway, or powder room, wallpapering across all walls creates a jewel-box effect where the repeating arches envelop the space. Under warm, low-level evening lighting, the gold-toned details catch the light visually, softening the deep dark background and giving the room an inviting, atmospheric mood.

Styling it

When decorating around such a graphic, vintage-inspired pattern, we recommend balancing the wallpaper with furniture that has clean silhouettes and quiet surfaces.

• Pair the wallpaper with dark wood tones like walnut or painted black cabinetry to ground the room and echo the deep background.
• Introduce velvet or heavy woven upholstery in rich jewel tones such as emerald green, midnight blue, or warm ochre to complement the vintage character without competing with the pattern.
• Choose brushed brass, aged bronze, or matte black metal accents for lighting fixtures and hardware to tie in with the golden linework.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a high-contrast palette of deep charcoal black and warm antique gold tones, with subtle textural variations of ochre and soft amber within the printed lines.

To create a cohesive interior, we suggest pairing this design with paint colours drawn from its depths. Off-black, warm charcoal, or deep olive green on surrounding woodwork and adjacent walls will create a sophisticated, dramatic envelope. If you prefer a brighter contrast, soft off-whites with warm undertones, such as creamy ivory or pale parchment, keep the surrounding space bright while harmonising with the gold details. Rich accents in mustard, burnt terracotta, or deep forest green also blend naturally with the palette.
