Wallpaper - Dubai Skyline Purple & Gold

Our Dubai Skyline Purple & Gold wallpaper brings together the iconic architectural silhouette of Dubai with a dramatic, watercolour-style wash across a clean white background. Created by Michael Tompsett, this design pairs architectural landmarks like the Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab with expressive splatters and bleeds of rich mulberry purple and warm ochre gold tones. The horizontal composition creates a striking focal point, anchored by the dense cityscape while leaving plenty of open negative space above. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is straightforward to hang and brings an artistic, contemporary energy into any modern interior.

In the room

Because the skyline spans horizontally across the wall with a crisp white expanse above it, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room or a dedicated home study. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa allows the full panoramic silhouette to remain visible without the taller landmarks being obscured by furniture. The contrast between the saturated ink bleeds along the base and the clear space at the top also suits rooms with standard ceiling heights, giving the visual impression of airiness overhead while grounding the lower half of the wall. In a study, positioning it across a wider, uninterrupted wall creates an inspiring backdrop that carries visual weight without overwhelming the entire space.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolour details and distinct skyline stand out, we would keep the surrounding furnishings clean-lined and contemporary. Furniture with lower profiles and minimalist silhouettes works especially well here, ensuring the architectural outline remains the main focal point in the room.

We would complement the warm golden ochre and deep purple tones with matte black metal accents in lighting or shelving, which echo the sharp graphic outlines of the towers. For softer elements, selecting upholstery or textiles in unpatterned, neutral cream or charcoal balances the dramatic splash effects without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features rich dark mulberry purple, golden ochre, and warm amber tones set against a crisp white backdrop. When styling adjacent walls, we suggest continuing the crisp off-white or light warm grey from the background to keep the room cohesive and bright. For a bolder, moodier setting, pairing it with deep aubergine, plum, or charcoal on woodwork or accent cabinetry picks up on the darkest ink pigments in the skyline base. Warmer accents in caramel, mustard, or brushed brass also draw out the glowing gold elements of the architecture.
