Wallpaper - Proud Peacocks

Our Proud Peacocks wallpaper, designed by Carrie Cantwell, brings an energetic rhythm to the wall with stylized birds displaying geometric fan-shaped tails. Symmetrical repeats of cobalt blue peacocks are detailed with teardrop patterns in sunny yellow and warm orange against a soft, light beige backdrop. The graphic composition draws inspiration from 1970s and Memphis design movements, balancing bold lines with a structured, playful arrangement. Produced custom to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in an entryway, powder room, or dressing room where its repeating geometric motif creates an immediate sense of character. In a dining room or living room, it offers enough visual structure to define an accent wall behind a sideboard or seating area. Because the pattern relies on an orderly, repeating symmetry rather than a single large focal point, it also works across multiple walls in more compact spaces without feeling overwhelming.

Styling it

The graphic shapes and warm 1970s-inspired palette invite clean, modern furniture with simple profiles. We would keep the main surrounding pieces grounded:

• Pair with mid-century or retro furniture in warm wood tones, such as teak or walnut, to echo the orange and yellow details in the plumage.
• Choose lighting and accents in matte black or brushed brass to complement the sharp, flat illustration lines of the design.
• Keep upholstery and large area rugs in neutral, solid textiles so the wallpaper carries the visual pattern in the space.

Color combinations

The motif centers on saturated cobalt blue balanced by warm orange, bright yellow, and a calming light beige background. When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, pulling the soft beige from the background creates a seamless transition. For a bolder look, a deep cobalt or warm ochre on architectural trim or painted doors will highlight the graphic details of the peacocks.
