Wallpaper - Proud Peacocks

Our Proud Peacocks wallpaper, designed by Carrie Cantwell, brings a playful retro energy to the wall through bold graphic illustration. Each stylized bird features a pink body and orange wings set against an expansive, fan-shaped tail rendered in dark brown with concentric circles of pink, orange, and soft beige. A warm cedar brown backdrop anchors the composition, allowing the repeated, symmetrical shapes to stand out with lively rhythm. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

The geometric repetition and warm earth tones give our design plenty of presence without feeling chaotic. In a living room or dining area, we would place this wallpaper across a main feature wall behind a sofa or dining table where the complete peacock motifs have space to be enjoyed. The ordered pattern also works wonderfully in smaller transitional spaces, such as an entryway, powder room, or hallway staircases, wrapping the area in an inviting and characterful pattern. For family spaces like playrooms, nurseries, or a creative home office, the cheerful forms introduce warmth and visual interest that feel both modern and distinctly vintage.

Styling it

Because the motif carries a strong 1970s and Memphis-inspired graphic character, we like to keep the surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined to let the pattern lead.

• Pair with warm natural timber, such as teak, mid-tone oak, or walnut furniture, to harmonise with the rich cedar brown backdrop.
• Choose upholstered seating or cushions in solid ochre, dusty pink, or warm terracotta to echo the palette within the feathers without competing with the repeat.
• Introduce understated matte ceramic accents or simple spherical lighting fixtures that mirror the rounded geometry of the peacock tails.

Colour combinations

The foundation of our wallpaper is a rich cedar brown paired with shades of dark brown, lively orange, warm pink, and pale beige. When painting adjacent walls or trim, creamy off-whites and warm stone shades provide a gentle, balanced frame. If you prefer a richer and more enveloping room scheme, matching your woodwork or surrounding walls to a deep cedar brown or a muted terracotta draws direct inspiration from the design's retro palette.
