Peacock Decor

A peacock brings a specific and unusually saturated palette with it, iridescent blue through the neck, green across the train, and gold rings in the eye markings, so putting one in a room is a color decision as much as a subject one. That palette sits jewel-bright against neutrals and fights almost any warm scheme, which makes the peacock the piece to place where the surrounding tones are quiet enough to let it be the loudest thing present. The fanned train also carries an unusual amount of fine detail, so these designs reward being seen from close range rather than across a hall.
