Wallpaper - Peacock Arbor I

Created by artist Sue Schlabach, our Peacock Arbor I wallpaper pairs an intricately rendered peacock perched among flowering branches with a delicate damask backdrop and faded French script. What we particularly appreciate in this design is the balance between the rich emerald, teal, and cobalt hues of the bird's plumage and the soft, warm cream background. The fine botanical line work on the white blossoms gives the mural wallpaper a heritage feel without overwhelming the wall. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wall mural working especially well in a bedroom, library, or living room where the focal point can be appreciated up close. Because the peacock anchors the lower-left portion of the composition, positioning this mural behind a lower headboard, a low-backed sofa, or a quiet reading nook lets the bird and its cascading tail remain fully visible. The open cream background in the upper half keeps the space feeling expansive, making it equally suited to rooms with standard ceiling heights. In a private study or home library, the literary feel of the background script brings a thoughtful, collected atmosphere to the space.

Styling it

To complement the classic illustrative character of the design, we suggest pairing it with warm wood finishes such as walnut, cherry, or antique mahogany. These deeper wood tones echo the earthy branches and bring out the richness of the peacock's feathers.

For furniture and soft furnishings, we like using quiet woven textiles in oatmeal, linen, or muted ivory. This allows the intricate line work of the mural to stand out without competing for attention. If you want to introduce an accent piece, a velvet cushion or occasional chair in muted teal or deep olive green creates an intentional connection with the botanical palette.

Color combinations

The wallpaper brings together vivid emerald and peacock blue with warm cream, soft leafy greens, and gentle ochre tones in the damask pattern. When choosing colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend:

• Creamy off-whites or soft parchment shades that match the background tone to create a seamless transition across adjacent walls.
• Muted sage or olive green on surrounding trim or built-in shelving, drawing from the garden foliage.
• Deep teal or midnight blue on a statement door or accent furniture piece to echo the peacock's crest and plumage.
