Wallpaper - Vintage Rooftops

Our Vintage Rooftops wallpaper captures the timeless architectural character of historic European cities, composed by creator Tono Balaguer. Stone grey rooftops, bright red chimneys, and rooftop antennas layer across the foreground in front of a grand architectural dome, while cream and orange facades with shuttered windows bring warmth to the urban panorama. An overcast sky sets an earthy, atmospheric tone across the composition, balanced in the distance by the subtle outlines of modern high-rises. Printed to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle structure in the paper that complements the visual depth of the scene.

In the room

Because the perspective looks across a vast urban skyline, we find this wall mural works exceptionally well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the architecture can unfold. In a living room, positioning the design behind a low-backed sofa preserves the intricate details of the foreground rooftops while letting the central dome anchor the space. In a study or home office, the layered buildings provide a sophisticated backdrop without feeling visually overwhelming. We also see this design working well in a guest room or bedroom, where the muted grey sky and warm terracotta accents create an inviting, grounded atmosphere.

Styling it

To let the detailed architecture remain the focus, we suggest pairing this mural with understated furniture that shares its architectural sensibility. Low-profile seating and clean-lined shelving allow the vertical rhythm of the chimneys and spires to stand out. Natural materials such as warm walnut or mid-toned timber echo the earthy orange and red tones in the buildings, while matte black metal accents in lighting or table frames pick up on the graphic silhouettes of the antennas and rooftops.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper balances a cool base of stone grey and slate with warm accents of bright red, muted orange, and soft cream. To create a cohesive look across adjacent painted walls, we recommend pulling out the softer grey tones from the overcast sky or choosing a muted, creamy off-white that matches the plastered facades. If you want to introduce richer accents in upholstery or accessories, deep terracotta, rust, or charcoal naturally echo the chimney pots and roof tiles within the cityscape.
