Wallpaper - St Gallen Switzerland Skyline Purple & Gold

In this expressive skyline design by Michael Tompsett, the architectural silhouettes of St. Gallen are captured through rich watercolor-style textures and dynamic splatters. The composition balances deep mulberry purple with warm golden and ochre tones against a clean, open white background, creating an artistic skyline with a distinct sense of movement. The skyline anchors the lower half of the wall while the upper area remains light and airy, allowing the architectural details and spires to stand out clearly. Like all our wallpapers, this mural design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the main visual weight sits across the lower and middle portion of the wall, we see this working particularly well in a living room behind a low sofa, or in a home office behind a desk. The generous white space at the top prevents the deep purple and gold tones from overwhelming a room, making it an excellent choice for an accent wall. In a study or library setting, placing it along an uninterrupted wall gives the full panoramic breadth of the skyline room to unfold. The crisp contrast between the rich watercolor silhouettes and the white negative space also helps smaller or narrower rooms retain a bright, open feeling while still enjoying a bold artistic focal point.

Styling it

To let the dynamic character of our design take center stage, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and a measured mix of materials.

• Choose furniture with lower profiles and uncluttered silhouettes so key architectural landmarks and spires remain in clear view.
• Introduce warm wood tones or muted brass decorative accents to echo the golden ochre hues in the skyline motif.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in neutral off-white, soft taupe, or deep plum to complement the palette without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The motif itself combines deep mulberry purple, warm gold, and rich ochre against a crisp white backdrop. When selecting paint colours for adjacent walls or woodwork, a clean off-white or soft warm grey creates a seamless transition that keeps the room bright and balanced. For a moodier, more tailored scheme, drawing out the deep purple or a muted plum tone for adjacent trim, built-in shelving, or velvet accents will create a striking and cohesive atmosphere.
