Wallpaper - Buenos Aires Argentina Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, our Buenos Aires skyline wallpaper presents the architectural landmarks of the Argentine capital through an expressive, watercolor-like silhouette. Rendered in deep mulberry purple, warm ochre gold, and soft sepia tones, the cityscape rises out of spontaneous paint splatters and ink drips against a clean, crisp background. The detailed profiles of iconic structures, from historic domes and the Obelisco to contemporary towers, give this design a striking horizontal rhythm. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this piece brings an artistic urban focal point into your interior.

In the room

Because the skyline motif runs horizontally with an open, airy upper section, we see this working particularly well as a feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. In a living room, placing the design behind a low-profile sofa allows the detailed silhouette to remain completely visible above the furniture line. The contrast between the rich, dark mulberry tones and the light background also makes it an excellent choice for study walls or library nooks where you want a considered, cultured backdrop that feels graphic without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

To balance the energetic paint splatters and rich pigment in the design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and contemporary. Mid-century modern or contemporary eclectic furnishings in rich walnut or warm oak harmonize naturally with the ochre and golden undertones of the skyline. Upholstered pieces in textured neutral fabrics like charcoal, off-white, or warm taupe allow the mural wallpapers to anchor the visual interest of the room. Warm brass or antique bronze accents can subtly pick up the golden highlights in the artwork without competing with the motif.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centers around a rich palette of dark mulberry purple, golden ochre, and warm amber, set against a clean off-white background. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, soft creams, or muted stone tones provide a calm, balanced frame that lets the skyline stand out. If you prefer a richer and more intimate setting, deep plum or warm charcoal on surrounding walls can extend the mood of the darker pigments in the print.
