5 Ways to Create a Peacock Inspired Interior
It’s time to shake your tail feathers and show off your creative side with a bold and flamboyant PEACOCK inspired home interior. If you love colour and artistic flair then this interior theme is perfect for creating the wow factor in any room of the home. Take a look at these 5 simple ways to introduce this look into your home and be prepared to attract the attention of all of your visitors and guests.
- Colour
Peacock inspired colour schemes exude an air of eastern style glamour that can often be seen in Moroccan and Indian palaces. Opt for luxurious lilacs and opulent purples and place them alongside jewel tones such as emerald green and sapphire blue. For a more modern take on this look you can also use bold yellows and pinks for a bright and contemporary feel. Accent these vibrant colours with rich gold and silver metallic hues that will recreate the shimmering look and detail of an open fan of peacocks feathers.
- Cushions
Cushions are a great way of introducing these bold colours into your home and are a cost effective way of trying out this trend without the need for a complete interior overhaul. If you prefer to focus solely on colour then select plain satin or velvet cushions in varying tones of purple and blue and display them in an ombre style layout. This layout will look fabulous on a plain upholstered sofa and will showcase the fabulous colour palette of the peacock’s feathers. If you prefer a more lavish look then select embellished cushions featuring peacock plumage and imagery with added sequins, beads and feathers for an artistic visual focal point.
- Wallpaper
Bold wallpapers are hot on trend this season and animal influenced designs have been the favourite choice for both high end and high street designers. The detailed plumage of these fabulous birds makes a fabulous statement on a feature wall and creates a focused area of colour in a neutral interior space. For an elegant and feminine design opt for wispy feather images in refined blues and lilacs or silver and grey metallics that will look fabulous in a bedroom or dressing room setting. If you prefer a more period style design opt for a classic Art Nouveau style wallpaper with instantly recognisable stylised feather designs in rich deep purples and sapphire blues with accents of gold for a luxurious and opulent look.
- Bedding
A rich and luxurious bedding set can transform the entire look and feel of your bedroom space. Bold peacock tones will be sure to create an impact on your bedroom interior and create an air of Eastern palatial elegance within your interior space. Select bold purple, green and blue sheets and covers and accentuate with heavy gold satin throws and cushions or a metallic upholstered headboard for a striking colourful design. For a more ‘feathered’ finish select bedding designs with peacock plume patterns and imagery with metallic embroidery or small bead and sequin accents. This look can be further complimented by selecting a fabulous gold leaf bed frame that will add further opulence to this eye-catching and colourful theme.
- Accessories
There are a wealth of accessories you can choose from when customising your peacock inspired home interior. A fabulous peacock design tiffany lamp will take pride of place on any side table or bedside and will give a classic beauty to this rather flamboyant trend. Alternatively select colourful candles and ornaments with peacock images or feather accents that will look fabulous against a plain wall or scattered along a mantelpiece area. I love this elegant towel set (left) that features delicate and feminine peacock feather designs to the edge of the towels as they will add a splash of visual detail to a minimal bathroom interior. These will also look great in an en-suite bathroom as they can be co-ordinated with your wallpaper and bedding for a universal theme that is colourful yet refined.
