Wallpaper - Proud Peacocks

Our Proud Peacocks wallpaper by Carrie Cantwell features stylized, graphic peacocks parading in a symmetrical repeat across a warm, light beige backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between bold geometric shapes and rhythmic detail: each bird displays a striking fan tail filled with concentric teardrop motifs in cobalt blue, sunny yellow, and warm orange. The flat illustration style gives the birds a distinct retro feel with a subtle nod to 1970s and Memphis design movements. Made-to-measure and PVC-free, our wallpaper is printed on a paper with a subtle physical surface structure and is designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the repeat is orderly yet vibrant, we see this pattern working wonderfully in spaces where you want visual character without overwhelming the room. In an entryway or hallway, the proud birds create a cheerful greeting, enlivening transitional areas that often lack decorative focus. In a dining room, dressing room, or powder room, the motif brings a conversational, graphic charm that holds its own across all four walls or on a dedicated feature wall behind a sideboard. If you choose to use our design in a living room or bedroom, giving it an uninterrupted wall behind a bed or low sofa allows the geometric fan tails to be appreciated in full.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this retro-inspired pattern with simple, clean-lined furniture so the expressive birds remain the central focus. Mid-century silhouettes or contemporary pieces with smooth lacquered finishes or warm wood tones sit naturally alongside the warm beige ground. Keeping larger upholstered pieces in solid, unpatterned fabrics lets the repeating teardrop geometry breathe, while introducing subtle cobalt blue or burnt orange ceramic accents elsewhere in the room helps echo the palette without cluttering the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around rich cobalt blue, vibrant sunny yellow, and warm orange, balanced by a soft, warm beige background. When selecting colours for adjacent painted walls, doors, or skirting boards, a creamy warm white or soft oatmeal will keep the atmosphere light and cohesive. For a bolder, colour-drenched look, pulling the deep cobalt blue onto surrounding woodwork or cabinetry creates an intentional, dramatic frame around the mural wallpapers.
