Wallpaper - Chicago Skyline

Our Chicago Skyline wallpaper by Avery Tillmon captures the iconic architectural silhouette through an expressive, hand-drawn ink sketch. Set against a clean white background, the design features a horizontal panorama of skyscrapers, historic facades, and urban structures rendered with lively, varied linework. The open negative space above the cityscape keeps the composition feeling light and airy, while the rhythmic detail along the bottom grounds the wall. Made-to-measure and PVC-free, this design brings an artistic, architectural presence to modern interiors without overwhelming the room.

In the room

We especially like this design on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal flow of the architectural skyline can stretch out naturally. In a living room, placing it behind a low sofa allows the buildings to emerge just above the seating line, drawing the eye across the space. The open composition with plenty of white space above the skyline also makes it a great choice for a home office or study, where you want an engaging graphic accent that does not feel busy or visually heavy during the working day.

Styling it

Because the ink drawing carries a clear graphic quality and plenty of open white space, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture that lets the illustration remain the focal point. In contemporary or mid-century-inspired interiors, low-profile seating in simple silhouettes works wonderfully against the linear motif. Choosing furniture with understated metal accents, such as slim black steel legs, echoes the fine ink lines of the artwork without competing with the architecture.

Colour combinations

The motif itself is composed entirely of crisp black and charcoal ink strokes on a pure white ground. To create a balanced look, you can continue crisp whites or pale neutral greys across adjacent walls and trim. If you prefer more contrast in the room, introducing deeper charcoal tones or warm earth accents in your furniture and accessories creates a handsome backdrop that complements the graphic clarity of the drawing.
