Wallpaper - Hong Kong Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by artist Michael Tompsett, this architectural design captures the Hong Kong skyline through expressive watercolour splatters and dripping pigment. Deep mulberry purple and warm ochre gold tones define the silhouette of iconic skyscrapers, bridges, and harbour landmarks against a clean white backdrop. The bold horizontal composition balances graphic architectural contours with loose, painterly textures, creating an artistic statement wall with contemporary energy. Like all our wallpapers, this mural design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this architectural design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, home office, or dedicated art studio. Because the skyline forms a distinct horizontal band across the middle and lower portion of the wall, it naturally anchors lower furniture like a sofa, desk, or low credenza while leaving airy white space above. In a home office or study, positioning the cityscape behind a desk gives the workspace a cultured, urban focal point without visually crowding the room. For living rooms, giving the mural wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full breadth of the skyline and bridge details to be appreciated across the space.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolour artwork take centre stage, we would pair it with clean-lined furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Mid-century modern or contemporary eclectic pieces in warm walnut or painted charcoal finishes echo the darker architectural values in the print. Incorporating subtle brass or matte gold lighting accents draws out the warm ochre tones in the skyline, while crisp white or neutral upholstery keeps the overall room light and balanced.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on deep mulberry purple, warm ochre gold, and soft violet washes set against a crisp white background. When planning the surrounding room, we suggest matching adjacent painted walls to an off-white or soft warm grey to preserve the graphic contrast of the skyline. For accent pieces, upholstery, and accessories, pulling from the rich plum, aubergine, or warm amber notes creates a cohesive and layered interior palette.
