Wallpaper - New Bern North Carolina Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, our New Bern skyline wallpaper captures the historic architecture of North Carolina in an expressive, painterly composition. The distinctive silhouettes of town landmarks, spires, and waterfront buildings emerge from splattered watercolor-like textures in deep violet, plum purple, and rich warm gold against a clean white backdrop. We produce all our wallpapers made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions, printing on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline sits across the lower-to-middle horizontal portion with open white space above, we see this working particularly well as a focal feature wall in a living room, dining room, study, or home office. In a living room, placing the design behind a low-backed sofa allows the detailed architectural profile and energetic paint splatters to remain fully visible without visual crowding. In a study, library, or teenage bedroom, the horizontal rhythm grounds the space while keeping the upper wall feeling open and light.

Styling it

We would pair this wall mural with clean-lined, contemporary furniture in matte black or warm timber tones to echo the architectural outlines and golden hues of the skyline. Keeping surrounding textiles fairly simple in plain linens or smooth weaves lets the rich watercolor splatters serve as the main decorative statement in the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres on rich imperial purple, deep plum, and warm mustard gold set against a crisp white field. To balance the palette across the rest of the space, we suggest introducing surrounding wall colours or soft furnishings in soft off-white, light warm grey, or muted ochre. For a bolder, moodier accent, deep aubergine or midnight blue on adjacent trim creates an elegant dialogue with the motif.
