Peacock Inspired!!!

Peacock - Our (Indian) national bird. The emblem of nobility, protection, guidance, holiness.  A perfect source of inspiration even for your or your kid's room. The peacock theme can be incorporated by not just using the peacock per say, but also through color structure and pattern
Today we celebrate the emerging trend of peacock inspired decor. From the variations of print that feature the proud plume to the deep colors of teal, gold and purple we associate with the gorgeous bird, there are many ways to a peacock inspired decor
Here are some ways to rock a room inspired by our very own national bird.

Peacock inspired color palettes are beautiful and sophisticated. If you love the deep rich colors you will love the contrast of teal, gold, purples and browns we associate with the gorgeous bird

The peacock has inspired designers for centuries. The 1920s and 1960s peacock was used as a design icon and again today we are seeing the same trend...the celebration of designs inspired by the royal bird.
Here is how today, on India's 66th independence day, Google is inspired by India's national bird.
Happy Independence Day to all!
