Wallpaper - Nashville Tennessee Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this skyline wallpaper captures the architectural profile of Nashville, Tennessee, through an expressive watercolour-like aesthetic. Rich tones of dark mulberry purple and warm earthy ochre gold merge across the silhouettes of recognisable city landmarks, dissolving into soft splashes and painterly splatters along the base. The clean white background keeps the focus on the skyline's distinct silhouette, giving the urban panorama an airy and artistic balance. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because the skyline sits horizontally across the lower and middle composition with generous negative space above, we find this mural wallpaper works exceptionally well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, positioning the skyline behind a low-profile sofa lets the architectural silhouettes anchor the seating area without feeling crowded. The balanced horizontal line also suits a home office, where placing a desk beneath the skyline leaves the expressive paint splatters in clear view while keeping the upper wall visually light and open.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolour details and distinct skyline profile stand out, we would keep surrounding furnishings relatively clean-lined and understated. Modern furniture with low silhouettes prevents obstruction of the city shapes along the horizon. Materials like warm dark woods or subtle brass fixtures echo the earthy gold accents in the print, while quiet, neutral upholstery creates a grounded setting that lets the purple and ochre tones lead the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres around deep mulberry purple and warm, earthy ochre gold against a crisp white backdrop. When decorating around this wallpaper, we recommend pulling out the lighter golden and sand hues for painted adjoining walls or linen textiles to create warmth. Alternatively, deep plum or charcoal accents in cushions and rugs can tie directly into the darker urban silhouettes, while off-white or soft warm cream trims maintain a crisp, bright contrast.
