Wallpaper - Midtown Streets

Our Midtown Streets wallpaper brings the architectural depth and energy of Manhattan directly onto your wall. Captured from an elevated viewpoint by Jan Becke, the composition looks down a central avenue flanked by classic brownstones, terracotta brick facades, and caramel tones, leading towards the iconic silhouette of the Empire State Building under a crisp blue sky. The incredible architectural detail creates a striking sense of perspective and structural rhythm across the full wall width. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your exact dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an expansive feature wall in a living room, home office, or dedicated study. Because the perspective draws the eye straight down the central avenue toward the towering skyline, giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full architectural panorama to unfold naturally. In a home office or study behind a desk, the structural geometry provides a bold and inspiring backdrop that anchors the room without cluttering the floor space. In a living room, positioning the wallpaper behind a lower sofa ensures the intricate brickwork in the lower foreground and the prominent skyscrapers above remain visible and in balance.

Styling it

Because the skyline motif contains dense architectural detail, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined contemporary furniture that lets the wall mural take centre stage. Low-profile seating or minimalist shelving in solid neutrals will keep the visual weight balanced. Warm woods such as walnut or smoked oak complement the earthy brick tones in the cityscape, while sleek black metal accents or clean architectural lamps echo the structural lines of the skyscrapers. Keeping surrounding decorative accessories understated and uncluttered allows the intricate city grid to remain the defining visual element in the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a rich palette of caramel, warm terracotta, earthy brown brick, and sandstone, set against glass-and-steel greys and a clear sky blue. For adjacent walls and painted surfaces, soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted stone tones work naturally to balance the density of the pattern. If you want to echo the deeper urban tones in the room, consider introducing charcoal grey or rich caramel accents through upholstery, cushions, or painted woodwork.
