Wallpaper - Reading England Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Reading England Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper presents the architectural landmarks of Reading through an expressive watercolor-inspired composition by Michael Tompsett. Set against a clean white backdrop, the skyline blends rich mulberry purple and warm ochre gold tones with dynamic paint splatters and subtle pigment bleeds along the lower silhouette. The crisp architectural outlines balance the painterly textures, creating a modern graphic focal point that adds distinct urban character to an interior. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. Because the skyline stretches horizontally across the lower and middle composition while leaving open white space above, it creates a sense of upward breathing room on wider, uninterrupted walls.

In a living room, positioning the mural wallpaper behind a sofa or low credenza keeps the detailed architectural silhouettes visible while grounding the seating area. In a study or home office, placing the skyline on the main feature wall behind a desk introduces a creative, cultured backdrop without overwhelming the entire space.

Styling it

The distinct dialogue between deep purple and warm golden tones allows for focused, intentional styling choices around the room.

To keep the visual weight balanced, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with understated, clean-lined furniture in warm wood finishes, such as mid-tone oak or walnut, which pick up on the gold and amber elements within the skyline. Selecting upholstery in neutral woven fabrics or deep charcoal creates a grounded setting that lets the artistic splatters and architectural forms stand out naturally.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper centres on deep mulberry purple, lavender undertones, warm gold, and ochre, set against a crisp white ground.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, a soft, neutral off-white or light warm grey keeps the room feeling cohesive and allows the mural to remain the clear focal point. For a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing on the deeper purple or charcoal tones for decorative accents, curtains, or shelving creates an elegant, considered contrast.
