Wallpaper - Underwater Peacocks

Our Underwater Peacocks wallpaper, designed by Imary, brings together intricately detailed birds with soft pink and brown plumage set among spiralling foliage and lush green botanicals. Set against a deep, dark backdrop, the symmetrical Arts and Crafts inspired composition features delicate leafy branches, scrolling forms, and small yellow dots that punctuate the scene. The balance between earthy tones and bright accents gives the pattern an artistic, whimsical presence on the wall. Produced to order according to your exact wall dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

With its symmetrical structure and rich botanical details, we see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room, library, or dedicated home art studio. In a living room, placing the wallpaper across an uninterrupted wall behind a sofa allows the full rhythmic repeat of the birds and curling branches to unfold without visual disruption. In a home library or reading nook, the dark ground and earthy foliage create an enveloping, intimate atmosphere that suits walls framed by built-in shelving or panelling. Because the repeat carries notable detail, we prefer giving the design enough open breathing space rather than breaking it up across multiple small, fragmented surfaces.

Styling it

To complement the heritage and Art Nouveau character of the motif, we would pair this design with classic furniture shapes and rich, grounding materials.

• Darker wood tones such as walnut or deep stained oak complement the earthy browns and dark background, grounding the decorative pattern.
• Upholstered seating in muted pink, forest green, or neutral woven textiles allows the intricate bird motif to remain the central decorative focus.
• Simple aged brass or antique bronze accents on lighting fixtures and cabinet hardware echo the warm yellow details without competing with the illustration.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a dark base layered with leafy greens, lime accents, warm earthy browns, soft pink feather details, and small yellow highlights. When selecting colours for adjacent walls, trim, or major furnishings, we suggest drawing directly from these earthy and botanical tones. A deep olive or forest green on adjacent joinery creates a cohesive, wrap-around feel, while a warm stone or soft plaster neutral keeps surrounding spaces light without contrasting too starkly against the deep backdrop. Muted rose or dusty pink accents in soft furnishings also pick up on the subtle feather details throughout the repeat.
