Wallpaper - Memphis Tennessee Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by artist Michael Tompsett, this skyline wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Memphis, Tennessee, through expressive watercolour-like textures and dynamic splatters. The composition balances recognisable urban landmarks, including the Hernando de Soto Bridge and the distinctive pyramid, rendered in deep mulberry purple, warm ochre, and golden amber tones against an open white background. We make our mural wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, giving your wall an artistic skyline feature that feels both energetic and grounded.

In the room

Because the skyline sits across the lower half of the design while leaving the upper section airy and open, this wall mural works exceptionally well on wide, uninterrupted walls in a living room or behind a desk in a dedicated home office. In a living room, placing the design behind a low-profile sofa lets the architectural silhouette ground the seating area while the painterly splatters drift naturally upward. The horizontal span gives a clear sense of structure to the room without overwhelming the space, making it a compelling focal point that remains easy to live with.

Styling it

To complement the rich painterly quality of the design, we suggest pairing it with furniture that balances clean contemporary lines with tactile materials. Darker wood tones, such as walnut, echo the deep mulberry and earthy undertones in the cityscape, while brass or warm metallic lighting fixtures bring out the golden amber hues. Keeping larger pieces relatively simple and tailored allows the expressive watercolour character of the wallpaper to remain the centre of attention.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres around deep mulberry purple, warm ochre, and golden amber, set against a clean white backdrop. When selecting surrounding wall paint and decor, warm off-whites or soft stone shades work beautifully on adjacent walls to maintain an open, cohesive atmosphere. For upholstery, rugs, or cabinetry, deep aubergine, plum, or warm cognac tones draw directly from the skyline's richer pigments, creating a balanced and sophisticated interior palette.
