Wallpaper - Reims France Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Reims France Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper features a painterly silhouette of the French city's architectural landmarks, designed by Michael Tompsett. Set against a clean white backdrop, the city profile is rendered in an artistic watercolour-inspired style with expressive splatters and washes of dark mulberry purple and rich golden ochre. The dramatic Gothic towers of the cathedral anchor the centre of the horizontal composition, creating a striking focal point with plenty of open space above. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the composition has a strong horizontal skyline across the lower half and generous white space above, we see this working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room, home office, or study. Placing the wallpaper behind a low sofa, credenza, or desk allows the detailed silhouette to rise cleanly into view without competing with tall furniture. In a study or home office, the artistic rendering gives the space a thoughtful, worldly character, while the crisp white upper section keeps the room feeling light and uncluttered.

Styling it

To let the rich colours of our wallpaper lead the room, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded and contemporary. Clean-lined pieces in darker wood finishes or warm walnut echo the depth of the mulberry tones, while warm metallic accents such as brass or bronze pick up on the gold and amber elements in the artwork. Soft upholstery in neutral ecru or warm grey provides a calm balance, allowing the expressive watercolour character of the skyline to remain the clear visual centrepiece of the space.

Colour combinations

The motif blends deep mulberry purple and warm gold against an off-white field, creating a rich contrast that is easy to coordinate with surrounding finishes. We suggest pairing it with walls painted in warm off-white, soft cream, or muted biscuit tones to blend naturally into the upper background. For a bolder look, deep plum or dark aubergine on adjacent walls or trim creates an enveloping palette, while warm ochre, camel, or antique gold accents tie directly into the sunny highlights of the silhouette.
