Wallpaper - Auburn Alabama Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, our Auburn Alabama Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper captures the distinct architectural profile of Auburn in an expressive watercolour-like style. The composition pairs crisp, recognisable building silhouettes with splattered washes of deep mulberry purple, warm gold, and ochre against a clean white backdrop. We particularly like how the energetic paint drips and fluid textures give the urban motif an artistic, loose quality while keeping the skyline contours sharp and defined. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the artwork features a strong horizontal skyline anchored by open white space above and expressive paint bleeds below, we think it works wonderfully across an uninterrupted main wall. In a living room, placing this design behind a low-profile sofa lets the full architectural silhouette remain in clear view without tall furniture breaking the skyline. It also makes an engaging focal point in a home office or study, where the graphic balance of university town architecture and paint splatters brings personality to the workspace without overwhelming the entire room.

Styling it

To let the dynamic character of the mural wallpapers take centre stage, we suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings relatively grounded. Clean-lined contemporary pieces or mid-century shapes work nicely alongside the graphic silhouette. Low credenzas, floating desks, or upholstered seating in neutral tones allow the expressive paintwork to draw the eye naturally. If you want to introduce metal elements, muted black iron or understated warm brass hardware will echo the contrasting tones in the artwork without competing with its visual movement.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design centres on rich dark mulberry purple, golden amber, and soft ochre, set against a bright white background. When planning the rest of the room, you can draw directly from the warmer gold tones with camel, tan, or warm mustard accents in cushions and upholstery. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, crisp whites, or muted warm greys maintain the brightness of the negative space and keep the overall interior feeling light, fresh, and deliberate.
