Wallpaper - Melbourne Australia Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Melbourne Australia Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper mural presents the recognisable architectural silhouette of Melbourne in an expressive, watercolour-style treatment. Created by Michael Tompsett, the design contrasts deep mulberry purple with warm ochre and gold-toned splatters, capturing landmarks such as the Eureka Tower and Princes Bridge against a crisp white background. The fluid paint drips along the base balance the graphic profile of the skyscrapers, giving the cityscape an artistic, contemporary character. Like all our wall murals, this made-to-measure design is PVC-free and produced with a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well on a dedicated feature wall in a living room or a modern home office. Because the cityscape extends horizontally with an open, clean background above the roofline, it benefits from a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full skyline can unfold naturally. In a living space, placing the design along the main wall behind a low sofa keeps the upper architectural details in clear view while anchoring the seating area. For a home study, running the mural behind a desk creates an energetic, graphic backdrop without overwhelming the entire space.

Styling it

The combination of dark mulberry tones and golden ochre gives this design a bold presence that pairs naturally with contemporary and eclectic interior styles. We would recommend choosing furniture with clean profiles and relatively low visual weight so the intricate paint splatters and building contours remain the focal point of the room.

• Warm wood finishes, such as walnut or darker stained timber, echo the deep undertones of the skyline while grounding the surrounding furniture.
• Brass or warm metallic lighting fixtures and hardware complement the golden splash accents throughout the cityscape without competing with the graphic artwork.
• Upholstery in soft neutrals or muted textured fabrics allows the expressive purple palette to stand out clearly on the wall.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its deep mulberry purple, warm gold and ochre tones, set against an off-white background. When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling from the lighter, cleaner tones of the backdrop to maintain an airy atmosphere in the room. Soft, muted warm whites or pale stone greys on adjacent surfaces allow the rich purple silhouette to command attention. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, bringing in accents of warm mustard, ochre, or deep plum through cushions, throws, or a statement armchair ties the entire palette together seamlessly.
