Wallpaper - New Delhi India Skyline

Our New Delhi India Skyline wallpaper, created by Michael Tompsett, captures the architectural silhouettes of the city through an expressive watercolour-like style. The composition balances crisp architectural outlines of domes, minarets, and modern landmarks with fluid splatters and painterly blooms across the base. Rich dark mulberry purple tones merge with warm, earthy ochre and gold hues against a clean, open white background. This contrast gives the mural an artistic, graphic presence while maintaining a sense of lightness in the upper half of the wall. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline sits along the lower half of the composition with generous open space above, we see this working particularly well in a living room or a home library. The horizontal visual weight anchors the lower portion of the room without making the upper wall feel crowded or dark. On a wider, uninterrupted feature wall behind a low sofa or a reading desk, the entire panorama has space to unfold naturally from end to end.

In rooms with standard ceiling heights, the white negative space above the skyline helps maintain an airy feel, drawing the eye upward. In a home study or library, placing this wallpaper along an accent wall keeps the visual focus low and grounded, leaving plenty of breathing room above low shelving units or lounge seating.

Styling it

To complement the rich watercolour textures, we would pair this wallpaper with simple, structured furniture that does not compete with the fluid splatters. Low-profile seating and clean architectural lines create a pleasing dialogue with the city silhouettes.

Warm wood tones, such as walnut or deep stained oak, harmonise naturally with the earthy ochre and amber hues in the motif. To balance the moody dark mulberry tones, incorporating warm brass accents or muted bronze decorative pieces adds depth without cluttering the visual field. Keeping surrounding textiles fairly calm and unpatterned allows the mural wallpapers to serve as the main artistic focal point in the interior.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a palette of deep mulberry purple, earthy ochre, amber tones, and crisp white.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or larger furniture, we suggest looking to warm neutrals that pick up on the lighter undertones of the paper. Soft off-whites, warm creams, or gentle stone greys work beautifully on adjacent walls to keep the room cohesive and bright. For a bolder, moodier look in a library or study, a deep plum, aubergine, or warm taupe on trim and surrounding joinery can draw out the darker purple elements in the city skyline.
