Wallpaper - Exeter England Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Exeter England Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper features a dynamic skyline silhouette created by artist Michael Tompsett, rendered with an expressive watercolor-like aesthetic. The architectural landmarks of Exeter, from historic spires and cathedral towers to suspension bridges, emerge from rich splashes, droplets, and layered washes of deep purple, dark mulberry, and warm golden ochre. Set against a clean white backdrop, the horizontal panoramic composition balances intricate architectural outlines with fluid, painterly splatters. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and is completely PVC-free, printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home study. Because the motif is arranged along a strong horizontal skyline anchored at the lower half of the composition, it allows generous negative space across the upper wall, helping the room feel airy and open while still delivering rich graphic presence. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa or media console keeps the detailed architectural silhouettes visible without visual clutter. In a study or home office, running the skyline along an uninterrupted wall behind a desk creates a thoughtful, cultured backdrop for everyday work.

Styling it

To complement the expressive character of the artwork, we suggest balancing the space with clean-lined contemporary furniture and warm metallic finishes. Brass or warm bronze lighting fixtures and hardware naturally pick up on the gold and amber tones within the watercolor wash, creating a cohesive dialogue across the room. We would pair this with understated, darker wood pieces or sleek matte cabinetry to let the detailed spires and paint drips remain the primary visual focus. Keeping surrounding upholstery in solid neutrals ensures the dramatic contrast of the mural stays crisp and intentional.

Colour combinations

The palette inside the wallpaper brings together rich mulberry purple, warm gold, deep indigo undertones, and a crisp white background. When decorating around it, you can lean into the depth of the motif with muted plum, aubergine, or deep charcoal accents on cushions, throws, or a statement armchair. If you prefer a lighter, more open feel, warm off-whites, soft creams, or pale sandy beige on adjacent walls will seamlessly echo the clean background while softening the transition to the vivid skyline.
