William Morris Peacock Art Prints

4.8

Peacocks gave Morris and his circle their best excuse for pattern: fanned tails, curling foliage, tail-eyes repeating across a design like tiles. These prints carry that Arts and Crafts richness into a hallway, a dining wall or the space above a bed, where the deep blues and greens do real work. Pick unframed, or a framed print that arrives ready to hang. If the bird is the draw more than the peacock itself, the William Morris bird art prints and William Morris swan art prints run in the same vein.

Buying a Morris peacock print

Short answers on framing choices, colour, where these prints sit best and how ordering works

What wall colors suit a William Morris peacock print?

Deep, muted backdrops flatter these designs best: sage, olive, teal, ink blue or warm clay let the peacock blues and golds sit comfortably without competing. If your walls are white or off-white, a darker frame or mount helps anchor the pattern so it doesn't float. Avoid bright, saturated accent walls, which tend to fight the layered vintage palette rather than support it.

Should I choose a framed print or a canvas for a peacock design?

A framed print suits the fine linework and flat printed color of Morris-style pattern, since the frame and border give the busy design a visual boundary. A canvas has a softer, more textural look that blends into relaxed or country-style interiors. Where a framed option is offered, it arrives finished and needs no assembly, so it's the simpler choice if you want to hang straight away.

Which William Morris peacock print works best as a statement piece above a sofa?

For a standard UK sofa, we'd go with a 70x100cm framed Peacock and Dragon print. It's Morris's most dramatic peacock design, with enough visual weight to anchor a living room wall without overwhelming it. The deep indigo and teal tones in the original pair beautifully with warm neutrals like cream, ochre, or terracotta cushions. Our frames are solid FSC-certified wood, and the print arrives ready to hang, so you're not fiddling with separate parts on a Saturday afternoon.

Did William Morris actually design peacock prints?

Yes, and they're some of his best work. The peacock was a recurring motif across Morris's textile and wallpaper designs, most famously in the Peacock and Dragon woven fabric (1878) and various wallpaper patterns where peacock feathers weave through dense foliage. These weren't just decorative flourishes; Morris studied real birds and plants obsessively to get the forms right, which is why his peacock designs still feel so alive on the wall over a century later. Our William Morris peacock art prints reproduce that level of detail using museum-grade giclée printing on thick matte paper.

Will the colours in a William Morris peacock wall art print fade in a sunny room?

Not with ours. Our framed prints use UV-protective acrylic glaze and museum-grade inks rated to last hundreds of years, even in direct sunlight. So if you've got a south-facing dining room or a bright hallway where you want to hang a vintage peacock art print, you won't see those rich teals and golds washing out over time. It's one of the reasons people replace cheaper framed prints with ours; the quality holds up where it matters.

How do I pair William Morris peacock prints with other wall art without it looking cluttered?

Keep the palette consistent and vary the scale. A large framed Peacock and Dragon print flanked by two smaller Morris botanical prints (say 30x40cm each) creates a gallery wall that feels curated rather than chaotic. Stick to the same frame finish across all pieces for cohesion. Avoid mixing Morris's peacock designs with other busy patterns; let the peacock be the star and support it with simpler leaf or floral prints from the same Arts and Crafts tradition.

What are the most famous William Morris prints featuring birds?

The Peacock and Dragon is arguably the most recognisable, followed by Strawberry Thief (featuring thrushes stealing fruit) and Bird, a woven textile design from 1878. The peacock designs stand out because they're bolder and more ornamental than Morris's other bird work, making them especially popular as decorative art prints. If you love the idea of William Morris bird prints but want something with real presence on the wall, the peacock collection is the place to start.
