As whimsical as it is refined, this gold-embellished peacock wallpaper features a pattern of two stylized peacocks against a subtly striped charcoal background. The birds have a mottled, hand-painted look, with metallic gold detailing in their wings, tail feathers and crest. They’re perched on gold branches adorned with neutral grey leaves.
This sophisticated peacock wallpaper recalls the grand Peacock Room, the magnificent private dining room of London shipping magnate Frederick Richards Leyland, designed by Gilded Age artist James McNeill Whistler. Though the original Peacock Room is now part of the collection of the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, you can use this gorgeous gold and black wallpaper to recreate the look in your own dining room. Whistler’s masterpiece celebrated “harmony in blue and gold,” and a palette of Prussian blue, jade green and gold will gracefully complement this sparkling metallic peacock wallpaper. Add gold-trimmed mirrors and crown moulding, Art-Deco lighting fixtures and Japanese ceramics to honour Whistler’s vision to the utmost and create a museum-worthy space in your own home.
For a lighter theme, pair this black and gold wallpaper with light grey and powdery rose-coloured furnishings in a living room or bedroom, or use it in a small powder room and play on the peacock and foliage pattern by adding a vase of tropical flowering plants and guest towels embellished with peacocks. Wherever you use the paper, be sure to add a few touches of gold décor to pick up on the gold metallic qualities in the wall-covering.
Made from heavyweight vinyl, this metallic gold peacock wallpaper is durable, scrubbable and long-lasting
