Wallpaper - New Haven Connecticut Skyline Purlpe & Gold

Created by Michael Tompsett, this architectural skyline wallpaper captures the distinctive profile of New Haven, Connecticut in an expressive watercolour style. The composition balances deep purple and dark mulberry tones against warm golden and ochre hues, anchored by dynamic splatters and ink-like bleeds along the base that contrast cleanly with the open white space above. As with all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the skyline forms a defined horizontal band across the lower half of the wall, we see this working exceptionally well in a living room behind a low-backed sofa or along a main wall in a home office. Placing the denser silhouette along the lower wall allows the artwork to ground the room while keeping the upper visual space airy and bright. For larger, open-plan spaces, giving this design an uninterrupted wall lets the full panoramic rhythm of historic towers and spires display without visual interruption.

Styling it

We suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and contemporary to complement the expressive, paint-splattered character of the artwork. Warm wood finishes, such as walnut or rich oak, pick up on the golden earthy tones within the skyline, while matte black or dark bronze metal accents echo the deeper mulberry silhouette. To maintain balance, we would keep upholstery relatively quiet in neutral weaves, allowing the graphic energy of the skyline to remain the clear focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on dark mulberry purple, deep plum, and warm golden ochres set against a crisp white ground. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, we recommend choosing soft warm off-whites or pale parchment tones that match the background. If you prefer deeper contrast, rich aubergine or charcoal on adjacent joinery can draw out the darker ink details of the buildings.
