Wallpaper - Jersey Views

Captured by photographer Jan Becke, our Jersey Views wallpaper presents the Manhattan skyline seen across the water during late afternoon light. The composition is anchored by the iconic silhouette of the Empire State Building rising above Midtown high-rises, waterfront piers, and the Hudson River in the foreground. Warm sunset tones wash across the building facades in shades of burnt orange, terracotta, and soft gold, set against a quiet expanse of grey-blue water and cloud-dusted sky. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this architectural wall mural working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room, study, or home library. Because the skyline has distinct vertical lines and detailed skyscraper facades, it benefits from being installed on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the city panorama can unfold. In a living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low-backed sofa lets the towering buildings and upper sky remain entirely visible. In a home office or study, positioning the motif opposite a desk provides an expansive, inspiring view across the urban horizon.

Styling it

To balance the detailed architectural geometry and warm sunset tones in this design, we would pair it with clean-lined furniture and grounded finishes. Modern silhouettes in dark charcoal or matte black echo the structural metalwork and window grids of the skyline without competing with the photography. For materials, warm woods like walnut or smoked oak naturally draw out the golden and burnt orange highlights on the sunlit buildings. Keeping surrounding decor relatively uncluttered allows the intricate details of the city to remain the central focus of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a rich palette of burnt orange, warm ochre, and brick red illuminated across the building facades, balanced by the cool slate grey, deep navy, and soft steel blue of the water and sky. For adjacent walls and painted trim, we suggest soft warm greys or muted off-whites that harmonize with the clouds and keep the space feeling open. If you want a more dramatic setting, a deep charcoal or rich slate paint on neighbouring walls will frame the warm glowing skyscrapers and enhance the atmospheric evening mood.
