A Peacock Blue Accent Wall at Liberty of London
London, UK

Bright blue walls have been on our minds ever since we saw pictures of Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, and when we saw this particular peacock blue accent wall at Liberty of London on a recent trip to the UK we were truly smitten.

We love how well the antique china works against the bright backdrop and becomes synchronous with the more modern pieces. Of course this is a store and we would never want to have quite so much stuff displayed at home, but we did start browsing paint colors with the idea of creating a similarly bold wall color statement for ourselves.

That's not peacock blue on my monitor. It looks more like Yves Klein blue. Peacock blue has a bit of green in it.

wally3, you took the words right out of my mouth. Except for the Yves Klein part. But that is not peacock.

I think it IS very international klein blue. And I love it with the white architectural details!

I second erinalter!! The candelabra is amazing and I'm not having luck googling for it. Anyone know where it can be found?

Love the variety of the corbel collection.

Does anyone know a mailorder or internet source that would have such a large and varied selection?

For anyone who may see this, I'm hoping for some blue bedroom wall advice . . .

I'm moving to a small home with normal height ceilings (I'm used to far more character than this), hardwood floors . . . and I only have a budget for paint.

I'm wanting to use a lot of blue paint, different shades, throughout the house. The bedroom is serving as the greatest obstacle. It might not work.

I have this duvet: http://www.blisslivinghome.com/categories.php?cPath=152_826

and a vintage chair that is sort of the peach color from the leaves on the duvet

So given those colors, is there a blue in the world that would work, if I were to work it in some of the decor as well or I am stuck with a neutral?

ALL ideas welcome.
