Modern Interior Design Ideas
Be Inspired by Peacocks

Discover how to get a gorgeous, dramatic, sophisticated and relaxing room... (Who wouldn't want that...?)

Do you want one of the most striking modern interior design ideas? This look is very vibrant, glamorous and sophisticated – with a real look of luxury about it.

This look is inspired by the vibrant jewel colors, and beautiful swirls and patterns as seen in the striking plumage of peacocks.

Peacocks are stunning, unusual and very stately creatures – and this is the feel you will get from this look too…

This is a really hot look right now – all the magazines and all the shops are full of beautiful products and accessories in deep and royal blues and teals – so this will make it really easy, if you want to go ahead and copy this look…

Just follow these easy guidelines, and get modern interior design ideas, inspired by peacocks, in your own home…

• Color is probably the single, most important aspect of this design. Be inspired by peacocks, and choose rich, vibrant, jewel colors – wonderful deep blues, royal blues, teals and turquoises, mixed with lovely deep greens.




• Deep blue is quite a strong color, and it is a cool color. If you use dark and rich versions of blue, it will stop your room feeling too cold or unfriendly – but do take care that it does not make a small room feel too dark.

  If you want to get the look in a small and dark room, why not try introducing the peacock look in accessories, or on an accent wall instead.



• The lovely, rich, blue tones can be used in any room – but they will look best in rooms used mainly during the evenings.

  Deep blue is a great color for bedrooms, lounges and dining rooms – and would look absolutely stunning in any bathroom where you like to sink back into a relaxing deep bath.



• Deep blue is a very calming and relaxing color, so use it in rooms where you want to relax.

  If you work in some indigo tones too, it will really help encourage relaxation and sleep – so do consider this if you want to introduce these modern interior design ideas into a bedroom.



• You might want to just use these gorgeous, deep blue colors as an accent in your room.

  Paint one wall (the fireplace wall is always a good choice) or use a beautifully patterned wallpaper









• A patterned wallpaper is a very good way of getting this peacock look – it allows you to introduce lots of beautiful, bold and swirling patterns – which will look stunning and very luxurious in your room.

• Look out for touches of gold in the wallpaper patterns – to add the ultimate air of elegance and luxury to your interior design scheme.


• If you have based your whole room around a deep blue color scheme – don’t forget to add accents to freshen and brighten your room.

  Go for lighter and brighter shades of teal and turquoise, or get confident with color, and introduce accents of a wonderful, shocking, fuchsia pink.

  This would definitely be my top choice of modern interior design ideas, for introducing an accent color into this scheme.

Furniture

• With such sophisticated and elegant modern interior design ideas in the color and pattern of your ‘Inspired by Peacocks’ scheme, make sure you choose fine furniture which enhances the look.


• Go for either traditional or modern furniture, it doesn’t really matter which – but do try and choose furniture which suits the style.


• So look out for beautiful, rich shades of blues, or accent colors of turquoises, shocking pink or luxurious gold.


• Don’t choose furniture with harsh, straight lines. Modern interior design ideas for Peacock-inspired furniture are all soft, sweeping, swirls and curves.

• This is a great opportunity to go really exotic with your accessories.


• Choose accessories that are decorative and elegant looking - sparkling chandeliers with hanging crystals, decorative wall sconces and candlesticks, ornate mirrors, little frames and boxes decorated with little birds, flowers or butterflies.


• Fabrics will be a very important part of these modern interior design ideas – and a very good opportunity to fill your room with pattern and color.

  Use patterns on full, draping curtains, patterned throws and cushions.



• Go for typical jewel colors, in your chosen accent shades, exotic designs and luxury fabrics like silk, satin, velvet, brocade and damask.

  These will add a real touch of elegance to your decorating style.



• Look out for any accessories which feature attractive birds, and, of course, anything featuring peacocks or peacock feathers.

  It is an ideal way of bringing these modern interior design ideas, and the elegance of the peacock, straight into your home.



• As the perfect finishing touch – a vase of peacock feathers - with or without other flowers – would be absolutely fantastic in this scheme.
