Wallpaper - Midnight in Midtown

Our Midnight in Midtown wallpaper brings an expressive urban skyline into the home, capturing the dramatic contrast of illuminated architecture set against a deep night sky. Created by Avery Tillmon, the design features prominent architectural landmarks rising above dense city blocks, rendered with a rich, painterly oil-paint look that softens the structured geometry of the high-rises. Luminous golden ochre and warm cream tones highlight the central building facades, balancing the moody navy blue backdrop and dusty grey-blue city buildings. Made to measure and completely PVC-free, this design brings atmospheric character and architectural depth to any space.

In the room

We especially like this design as a focal point in a living room or a dedicated home office. Because the composition features tall vertical towers anchored by smaller foreground buildings, it works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full height of the skyline can be appreciated without interruption. In a living room, placing our mural wallpapers behind a low-profile sofa allows the glowing midtown towers to remain clearly visible, giving the entire seating area a sense of urban scale and warmth. In a study or home office, the deep navy backdrop creates a grounded, focused atmosphere, while the architectural details add visual interest behind a desk setup.

Styling it

To complement the rich architectural motif, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with furniture that features clean, tailored lines and restrained detailing.

• Choose warm mid-tone woods like walnut or warm oak, which pick up the golden highlights and warm brick accents within the painted buildings.
• Incorporate dark metal finishes or matte black accents in lighting fixtures and furniture frames to echo the strong structural lines and deep night sky.
• Use upholstery in muted textures, such as charcoal wool, midnight blue velvet, or neutral oatmeal fabrics, keeping the surrounding furniture visually calm.

Colour combinations

The palette is built around deep navy blue and atmospheric dark indigo tones in the sky, contrasted by warm ochre, golden yellow, soft cream, and dusty slate blues across the facades. When choosing colours for adjacent walls, trim, or surrounding woodwork, we recommend pulling directly from these undertones. A rich navy or deep charcoal on adjacent walls will create an intimate, cocooning space that seamlessly extends the mood of the mural. Alternatively, a soft warm off-white or light stone grey on neighbouring walls and mouldings provides a clean contrast that lets the glowing city lights stand out as the primary visual focus.
