Wallpaper - Nashua New Hampshire Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural skyline wallpaper captures the city profile of Nashua, New Hampshire, through an expressive watercolour style. The composition pairs deep mulberry purple with warm, earthy gold and ochre tones, rendered with painterly splatters and fluid pigment bleeds across an open, crisp white background. The horizontal silhouette brings an artistic graphic rhythm to an interior while leaving generous white space above. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of its distinctive horizontal skyline motif anchored by expansive white space, we see this working particularly well as a focal feature wall. In a living room, placing the mural behind a low-backed sofa allows the architectural silhouettes, church spires, and bridge details to sit comfortably at eye level without feeling crowded.

In a home office or study, the design offers a cultured, creative backdrop that adds personality without overwhelming the room. It works especially well on wide, uninterrupted walls where the full panoramic skyline has room to stretch from end to end. In rooms with good natural daylight, the subtle tonal variations and fine watercolour speckles across the purple and gold wash become especially distinct.

Styling it

To let the dynamic skyline remain the central visual feature, we suggest balancing the wall with considered, grounded furnishings. Mid-century modern or contemporary furniture with clean lines and warm wood finishes, such as walnut or warm oak, naturally picks up the rich golden ochre tones within the artwork.

When introducing decorative accents, understated brass details or matte dark metal elements create a refined link to the deeper mulberry shadows. Keeping surrounding textiles fairly simple in tone allows the energetic splatter effect along the base of the skyline to bring all the decorative movement the room needs.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich, dark mulberry purple blended with warm ochre and golden amber against clean white. Around the design, soft off-white or light warm grey on adjacent walls maintains an open, luminous atmosphere that lets the skyline stand out crisply.

For a moodier, more enveloping scheme in a study or reading corner, pulling out the deep mulberry or a dark plum for woodwork, shelving, or trim adds dramatic contrast. Alternatively, accents in warm camel, tan leather, or burnt amber echo the earthy gold highlights in the cityscape.
