Among such colors as denim blue, ultramarine, meadow green, and forest green, the sophisticated peacock blue stands out. Rich and intense, blue peacock is hard to refuse for decor, however, if used wisely, it can be more versatile than expected and give the place a touch of originality and refinement.
More warm and velvety than ultramarine due to its grey-green notes, peacock blue is best combined with bold color tones, whether they are contrasting or tone on tone, but also in tandem with white. Try bold combinations like coral red and purple, pink and turquoise, more subdued with other, or decidedly daring with gold. Despite being a difficult color, peacock blue can be applied to the walls, to the furniture, and decorations; in environments such as the living room and bedroom it can be used in small doses in textile items such as pillows, curtains, and carpets, or become a leading player in upholstered beds and seating.
Peacocks are often associated with vanity and beauty. Chrysolina beetles have always amazed me due to the amazing way nature creates bright iridisation and metallic effects.
I wanted to capture the blue shell of the chrysolina into my own art-doll. This blue beetle is made with air-dry paper clay and worbla. Her shell is a striking iridised blue covered in flowers, insects, leaves dripping with Swarovski gems and beads.

If you are a bit hesitant to put peacock blue in your living room and kitchen areas, then consider putting it in your bedroom instead. Peacock blue can look great as lamp bases or shades on your nightstand, as curtain accents, or even as a bedspread.
Because it is so bright, peacock blue is a great idea to brighten a room that you feel is too dark. Check out this example of a peacock blue room on Apartment Therapy.

Beyond the bedroom, another room that can really benefit from bright peacock accents is the bathroom. Many shapes and styles of tile come in peacock blue, and you can use them to tile your bathroom entirely, or maybe just to redo your shower.
