Wallpaper - Split Croatia Skyline Purple & Gold

Split Croatia Skyline Purple & Gold presents an expressive silhouette of Split’s historic coastal architecture, created by Michael Tompsett. The design captures iconic landmarks such as Diocletian's Palace and Saint Domnius Cathedral alongside sailboats, rendered in a striking combination of deep mulberry purple and warm golden ochre. A dynamic watercolour-like splatter effect bleeds downward from the base, contrasting sharply with the crisp white background above. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an artistic, contemporary focal point that balances graphic clarity with fluid paint textures.

In the room

Because the architectural motif is arranged horizontally with an open, airy upper half, we find this mural wallpaper works exceptionally well on wide, uninterrupted walls. In a living room, placing it along the main wall behind a low-backed sofa keeps the detailed building silhouettes in clear view while preserving a light, spacious feel above eye level.

In a dedicated home office or study, the design offers a creative, cultured backdrop without overwhelming the workspace. The strong contrast between the deep purple splatters and the stark white backdrop gives the pattern enough presence to anchor a room as a feature wall, while leaving adjacent surfaces visually quiet.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolour detail lead the space, we suggest pairing this wall mural with clean-lined contemporary furniture. Low-profile seating and streamlined desks prevent the intricate baseline splatter from being obscured.

When introducing materials, warm timber such as walnut or mid-toned oak pairs naturally with the golden ochre hues in the cityscape. For lighting and hardware, matte black or understated brass accents reflect the graphic contrast in the skyline without competing with the rich purple tones.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on deep mulberry, violet, and warm amber-gold tones set against a crisp white field. To create a cohesive look across the wider room, we recommend bringing in surrounding elements in soft off-white, light warm grey, or muted taupe to echo the negative space of the wallpaper. If you prefer deeper contrast, grounding adjacent trim or accent upholstery in dark plum, charcoal, or deep indigo creates a rich, balanced interior.
