Wallpaper - Accra Ghana Skyline Purlpe & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, this architectural skyline wallpaper captures the city of Accra in a dramatic watercolor-inspired silhouette. The composition combines prominent landmarks with textured splatters and washes in deep mulberry purple, warm gold, and ochre against a clean white backdrop. Because the horizontal skyline runs across the lower-to-middle portion of the design, it creates a grounded graphic presence while leaving generous open space above. Our custom-made wallpapers are produced to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline sits along a strong horizontal baseline with an open white background above, we see this working particularly well behind lower furniture where the architectural profile remains visible. In a living room, placing it behind a low-back sofa or media console allows the detailed silhouettes and paint splashes to form a natural focal point without feeling crowded. The design is equally suited to a home office, where the balance of crisp geometry and fluid color creates an engaging backdrop for a desk or reading corner. On a wider, uninterrupted wall, the full horizontal span has room to display the complete city profile from end to end.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with furniture that echoes its clean lines and rich, expressive tones. Pieces with straightforward silhouettes and warm wood finishes or matte black accents anchor the lower section of the wall naturally, allowing the artistic splatter effects to stand out. To maintain visual balance, keep surrounding decor relatively uncluttered and let the vibrant contrast of the mural lead the room's character.

Colour combinations

The artwork features deep mulberry purple, warm ochre gold, and soft tan tones against a crisp white ground. When decorating around it, we suggest drawing out the warm golden hues through honey-toned timber, brass hardware, or warm ochre textiles. Deep plum or aubergine accents can echo the darker shadows in the buildings, while crisp off-white or neutral light grey on adjacent walls keeps the space bright and lets the wall mural hold central focus.
