Wallpaper - Seattle Skyline Purple & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this skyline wallpaper captures the Seattle cityscape through an expressive watercolour technique. Deep purple and dark mulberry blend into warm gold and ochre tones, creating a vivid urban silhouette set against a crisp white background. Splatters and fluid paint bleeds add an artistic, abstract rhythm across the lower half of the city skyline, giving the iconic landmarks a distinct, contemporary presence. Printed as a made-to-measure mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are easy to hang and sized to fit your exact wall dimensions.

In the room

Because the composition features the city skyline across the horizontal plane with open white space above and below, we see this working particularly well as a focal point on a main wall. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a sofa anchors the seating area while keeping the upper portion of the room feeling open and bright.

The graphic nature of the silhouette also suits a study or home office. Here, the architectural forms bring an inspiring, creative energy across an uninterrupted wall facing or behind a desk, where the fine paint splatters and colour washes can be appreciated up close.

Styling it

To let the dynamic artwork stand out, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined, contemporary furniture. Pieces with simple profiles keep the room balanced without competing with the intricate watercolour details of the skyline.

Warm timber finishes, such as walnut or medium-toned oak, naturally complement the golden ochre hues in the print. Incorporating subtle brass or bronze metal accents in lighting or decorative objects can pick up the warm metallic undertones without overwhelming the scheme. For surrounding soft furnishings, choosing understated, unpatterned fabrics allows the expressive mural to remain the focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The design is built around rich shades of purple, dark mulberry, warm gold, and ochre, all set against a clean white backdrop.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, a soft, neutral off-white keeps the room feeling cohesive and allows the white ground of the mural to flow naturally into the rest of the space. If you prefer deeper contrast, drawing out the dark mulberry or a warm charcoal for an accent armchair or painted trim creates an intimate, sophisticated atmosphere. To enhance the golden elements, warm honey and muted mustard textiles work effortlessly alongside the print.
