Wallpaper - Paramaribo Suriname Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this expressive skyline wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Paramaribo, Suriname, rendered in rich purple, mulberry, and warm golden ochre tones. The composition pairs crisp building silhouettes with painterly, watercolour-like splatters and washes along the lower edge, set against a clean white backdrop. It brings a graphic yet artistic atmosphere to an interior wall. Made to measure for your specific wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers are printed on paper featuring a subtle surface structure, making them straightforward to hang in any home.

In the room

Because the architectural details sit horizontally across the centre with an open white space above, we especially like this design on a main feature wall in a living room, study, or home office. The horizontal layout benefits from a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full panorama can unfold without being cut off by tall bookcases or bulky wardrobes. In a study or home office, placing the skyline behind a desk keeps the eye-level graphic and engaging, while the generous white background preserves a light, uncluttered feel throughout the room.

Styling it

We recommend balancing the bold silhouette with clean-lined contemporary furniture that lets the skyline remain the central visual focus. Mid-tone wood finishes or sleek, dark-painted furniture complement the deep tones within the skyline, while low-profile seating keeps the horizontal horizon visible. Restrained accessories and unpatterned textiles allow the painterly details and watercolour splashes at the base of the design to stand out without visual competition.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres around deep mulberry, plum purple, and golden ochre tones against a crisp white ground. To create a balanced palette, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with surrounding walls in soft off-white or light neutral greys to echo the open upper background. For a more dramatic atmosphere, deep aubergine, rich plum, or warm mustard accents in upholstery and decorative pieces will draw directly from the rich shades in the skyline.
