Wallpaper - Bern Switzerland Skyline Concrete

Created by artist Michael Tompsett, this skyline wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Bern in a bold, graphic silhouette set against a textured, neutral concrete-look backdrop. The historic cityscape, marked by spires, domes, and bridges, grounds the lower half of the composition, while expressive paint splatters and drips feather downwards beneath the horizon. Printed as custom wall murals, our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to introduce strong architectural character into your interior.

In the room

Because the skyline silhouette sits across the horizontal midpoint and lower section of the artwork, we find this mural wallpaper works particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing it behind a low-backed sofa keeps the detailed spires and rooftops fully in view while anchoring the seating area. The generous, quiet space in the upper portion of the design also makes it an excellent choice for a home office, where the calm grey backdrop can sit behind a desk setup without feeling visually crowded.

Styling it

The stark contrast between the deep charcoal silhouette and the pale concrete texture invites clean, contemporary interior choices. We recommend pairing this design with furniture that features simple, crisp lines to echo the architectural nature of the skyline. Matte black metal elements, such as a slim floor lamp or a minimalist shelving unit, will pick up on the deep black tones of the buildings, while warm grey upholstery keeps the overall room feel balanced and grounded.

Colour combinations

The palette of the design is built on neutral grey and pebble tones paired with deep charcoal and black. To create a cohesive scheme around the mural, we suggest painting adjacent walls in a soft, chalky off-white or a pale cool grey that matches the lighter areas of the textured background. If you want to introduce more depth through your decor, charcoal accents, slate grey fabrics, or dark-stained finishes will naturally mirror the rich tones of the skyline.
