Wallpaper - Peacock Arbor I

Created by Sue Schlabach, our Peacock Arbor I wallpaper captures a stately peacock perched among graceful flowering branches. The detailed plumage combines vibrant emerald, turquoise, and mossy greens with subtle deep blues, offset by cream blossoms and soft blue upright flora. Layered behind the botanical branches, delicate script and faint damask patterning create a refined, antique-inspired backdrop with an earthy, warm cream tone. Printed as made-to-measure wall murals on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure, this design brings classical charm and illustrative artistry to an interior wall.

In the room

Because of the peacock's prominent scale and detailed plumage on the left, we see this working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the composition has space to unfold. In a bedroom, it makes a striking statement placed behind a bedhead, while in a living room or a dedicated home library, it establishes an elegant focal point that draws the eye across the full width of the scene. The softer script and damask patterning across the upper right also allow the design to feel airy rather than overly dense, making it suited to rooms with generous natural light or spaces designed for quiet study and reading.

Styling it

The heritage, botanical illustration style pairs naturally with classic and vintage-inspired interior elements. We would style this design alongside:

• Rich, warm wood furniture such as antique mahogany, walnut, or dark oak bookcases and side tables that complement the earthy backdrop and traditional drawing style.
• Soft linen or velvet upholstery in muted cream, olive, or tailored navy to pick up the deeper plumage tones without competing with the floral branches.
• Understated architectural lighting and warm brass or aged bronze accents, which echo the historical character of the script and damask textures.

Colour combinations

The palette is anchored by rich emerald and forest greens, vivid peacock blues, and pale botanical whites against a warm, parchment-toned ground. To complement these shades, consider using soft off-white, warm stone, or muted taupe across adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, drawing out the deep olive green or slate blue from the bird's feathers for cabinetry, panelling, or window dressings creates a cohesive and immersive feel.
