Jewel-toned Peacock-Inspired Bedroom

How fabulous does that sound?! To satisfy my love for peacock-style colours such as navy, turquoise, inky blue, emerald and limey-yellowy green I decided to use these for my bedroom.

So...the inspiration...
(Sources coming soon)

And, the resulting moodboard...

And now, the breakdown! I already have white walls with a tinge of grey, and hardwood timber floors so they aren't going to change.

I've already bought white eyelet curtains so I don't want to buy new ones but, they don't reach the floor which drives me crazy! So I'm going to buy some deep navy fabric and run a trim along the edge and along the bottom to bring them down to puddle on the floor.

My existing DIY headboard will be upholstered in inky-blue velvet (and maybe button tufted?) and the bed made with crisp white bedding and colourful patterned cushions. Throw on a graphic quilt.

Add some skinny black bedside tables (it's a small bedroom) topped with a bright and colourful lamp and a few accessories.

I already have a gorgeous antique timber dresser so that will stay, topped with a glossy white ornate mirror and some pretty boxes for jewellery storage.

The only thing I need to decide now is whether to keep my black and white striped rug, and look for a gorgeous graphic navy rug, similar to the one in the inspiration board.

Decisions, decisions....
