Wallpaper - Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Skyline Purple & Gold

Designed by Michael Tompsett, our Ulaanbaatar Mongolia Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper interprets the architectural landmarks of Mongolia's capital through an expressive, watercolour-style cityscape. The composition features iconic city structures, modern high-rises, and traditional monuments rendered in rich mulberry purple, ochre, and warm golden tones against a clean, plain white background. Splatters, bleeds, and textured drips beneath the skyline give the artwork an artistic, painted character while keeping the upper portion open and bright. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a graphic focal point to contemporary interiors.

In the room

Because the skyline runs horizontally across the lower and middle sections with an open white expanse above, we find this mural wallpaper works exceptionally well on wide, uninterrupted walls. In a living room, placing it along the main wall behind a sofa allows the architectural silhouette and detailed paint splatters to stretch naturally across the space without being cut off by high furniture.

In a home office or study, the defined horizontal skyline anchors the room while the generous negative space overhead keeps the overall feeling light and uncluttered. For rooms with standard ceiling heights, the balance of open space above the cityscape helps maintain an airy atmosphere, ensuring the bold purple and gold tones add character without dominating the entire room.

Styling it

To complement the rich tones and artistic character of the design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined and contemporary. A modern sofa or desk in neutral upholstery allows the detailed skyline to stand out as the primary visual feature of the room.

Pairing this wallpaper with warm wood accents, such as walnut or darker oak, echoes the golden-ochre tones in the watercolour base. For hardware or decorative lighting, brushed brass or warm bronze accents naturally tie into the gold tones of the motif without competing with its artistic texture.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features deep mulberry purple, warm ochre, and golden hues set against a crisp white background. To create a cohesive palette throughout the room, consider drawing out these key shades on adjacent walls or interior elements:

• Warm off-white or soft cream on neighbouring painted walls and woodwork to maintain the bright, open quality of the background.
• Deep plum, aubergine, or dark berry tones on accent cushions, throws, or upholstery to reflect the rich purple shades of the buildings.
• Muted mustard, caramel, or antique gold accents through decorative objects or textiles to highlight the warm watercolour washes.
