Wallpaper - Sunset Metropolis

Our Sunset Metropolis wallpaper captures an illuminated urban skyline set against a vivid dusk sky, created by Thomas Winz. Towering skyscrapers, including a distinctive pointed tower, rise above calm water that mirrors the warm glow of city windows. The sky transitions from a rich saffron orange near the horizon to soft purple above, creating a dynamic visual balance between architecture and open atmosphere. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle surface texture that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the skyline has a strong horizontal orientation with vertical spires, we see this working particularly well across a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa lets the full height of the skyscrapers and the gradient sky remain visible. It also suits a home office, where the architectural lines and evening light create an engaging backdrop without overwhelming the work area. In a wide hallway or stairwell landing, the illuminated water in the foreground adds a sense of visual depth that opens up the surrounding space.

Styling it

To let the dramatic skyline remain the focal point, we recommend pairing this design with furniture that has clean, contemporary silhouettes. Low-profile seating and streamlined desks prevent the composition from feeling crowded. Darker wood finishes or black metal framing connect naturally with the architectural shadows and dark foreground water, while matte surfaces keep the overall room feeling grounded and balanced alongside the glowing orange horizon.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a warm palette anchored by saffron orange, deep purple, and the dark, reflective tones of the water and building silhouettes. For adjacent walls and trim, we like using soft charcoal or deep slate grey to echo the urban evening atmosphere. If you prefer a lighter look, warm off-whites or muted taupe tones pair comfortably with the glowing sky without competing with its rich sunset colours.
