Wallpaper - Proud Peacocks

Designed by Carrie Cantwell, our Proud Peacocks wallpaper combines retro geometric shapes with a playful, graphic motif. Each stylized bird features a pink body, orange wings, and a rounded fan tail filled with concentric rings of pink, orange, and beige. Set against a warm cedar brown background, the repeating rhythm creates a cheerful character across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings bold color and personality to living spaces, playrooms, and bedrooms.

In the room

The repeating bird pattern and rich cedar brown backdrop give this wallpaper a structured yet animated feel. We see it working particularly well in an entryway or hallway, where the repeating geometric forms create an engaging first impression without requiring sprawling wall dimensions. In a dining room or living room, the design makes an inviting feature wall behind a sideboard or sofa, letting the peacock silhouettes anchor the seating area.

Because the motifs have clean, flat graphic outlines, the design also sits naturally in children's rooms, nurseries, and playrooms. On a wider, uninterrupted wall, the symmetrical rhythm of the fan tails and arched wings repeats smoothly, while in a compact powder room or home office, the warm brown base keeps the energetic palette grounded.

Styling it

To let the graphic retro character lead the space, we would pair this wallpaper with simple, clean-lined furniture:

• Choose warm mid-tone woods like walnut, teak, or warm oak to harmonize with the rich cedar brown backdrop.
• Balance the bold geometric repeat with quiet, solid-color upholstery and textiles in cream, sand, or muted rust rather than competing multi-colored prints.
• Incorporate matte black accents or simple vintage 1970s silhouettes to complement the flat illustration style and clean graphic outlines.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper pairs a deep cedar brown base with accents of coral pink, bright orange, soft beige, and dark brown. When choosing surrounding paint colors and decor, you can pick up on the earthy brown tone with warm neutrals like almond, toasted beige, or terracotta on adjacent walls and trim.

If you prefer a brighter, higher-contrast look, soft off-white or light linen shades on baseboards and doors help the warm brown stand out distinctly. For decorative accents such as cushions or ceramics, pulling small touches of coral pink or warm amber directly from the birds creates a cohesive, intentional palette.
