Wallpaper - Brussels Belgium Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Brussels skyline wallpaper by Michael Tompsett captures the distinct architectural silhouette of the Belgian capital through expressive, watercolour-style splashes. Rendered in deep mulberry purple, warm ochre gold, and soft violet against a clean white ground, the composition balances recognisable landmarks like the Atomium and historic spires with dynamic paint splatters. What we particularly like is how the horizontal band of intense pigment creates a clear focal horizon, while the open space above lets the wall breathe. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a living room or a dedicated home office, this wall mural works exceptionally well as a feature wall behind a low sofa or a desk. Because the artwork is concentrated horizontally across the lower and middle sections of the composition, it grounds the room without feeling heavy around the ceiling. We see this working particularly nicely on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the skyline has space to unfold from edge to edge.

In a study or reading nook, the contrast between the crisp white background and the rich, painterly splatters gives the space an artistic, cultured atmosphere without overpowering surrounding furniture.

Styling it

To let the graphic presence of the cityscape lead the room, we suggest styling around it with relatively clean, understated silhouettes:

• Choose furniture with slim, contemporary lines in matte black or warm, darker woods like walnut to echo the darker pigment values in the skyline.
• Introduce soft upholstery or linen cushions in muted mustard, plum, or warm stone to subtly draw out the rich watercolour tones.
• Keep the upper portion of the wall completely clear of tall shelving or high-backed furniture so the delicate spires and atmospheric paint splatters remain fully visible.

Colour combinations

The palette in this design is anchored by rich dark mulberry purple, dusky violet, and warm ochre gold set against a clean white backdrop.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, crisp off-white or soft warm grey will keep the room feeling bright and spacious while allowing the mural to stand out. For a cozier, more enveloped look in a study, you can pull the deep plum or a muted ochre tone into painted woodwork, trim, or an adjoining accent wall.
